quail hound

I have a routine I go through before every drop. First my vest goes on and I make sure I have an even amount of shells in each pocket, next I let JP out and he sits on the tail gate while I put his collar on in the same way and same hole every time. He has to stay there until the other dogs are ready and the guns come out. I don't know if its really superstitious but JP is top dog and deserves to come out of his box first, and making him wait until everybody else is ready sets the tone for a successful no nonsense run.
