A friend has an English setter that never met a mud puddle she didn't like.:eek:
A mud bath is allegedly therapeutic:rotf:

Mud, Sherwood is just getting started. Here is mud and it gets better than this at times.

Dad's last Brit, Tadpole, loved mud and water more than any dog I ever met

That trait can get a lot worse than mud believe me. Rotten animals, cow piles and human piles. I was hunting a fine little setter near a main road and she found where it looked like someone had emptied a slop jar and boy she had a good time scooting upside down in it. I got a big stick and we went to war.Too late she was covered end to end. Shortly after she pointed a large covey of quail and continued to find singles. I recall her bringing one to me and it was sickening. I quit hunting and we went home. How she could smell birds through all that I don't know. Another time it was two rotten hogs and then again a dead dog. Shall I say decomposed. But the worst by far was Roy's setter named Sport. Sport was the best I ever hunted over. He did it all in high style. Someone had killed a beef and dumped the guts in the woods and they were ripe. We were in birds and here comes Sport with about a three foot by four inch gut in his mouth and he did not want to give it up. Roy thought it might have poison on it so he proceeded to take it from Sport. Needless to say after it was over Roy smelled as bad as Sport. We rode home with the windows down. Roy said his wife made leave his clothes outside. Just memories but I would love to do it all over again. Roy, Snowball, Popcorn, Sam, Ginger, Spanky, Scooter and many others are all gone now. Kinda Lonesome. But Thank You Lord. Gerald.

Now that's a start for Mud.....Mills Sherwood has more to learn, but he is young...:rolleyes: I figure in another year or so, Sherwood will have learned the art of mud rolling :rotf::rotf: Just wait

My first Ptarmigan Ben did a fantastic job that day despite the muck.

Mud is easily removed, just get the hose out. Our Rottweiler Keshia went for a run in the woods behind the house one day. She had been gone for a little while and as I was calling her I see her coming back dragging something. That something turned out to be a deer that someone shot with a bow. It was a decent buck and the hit was good but there are people out there who couldn't track an elephant in a snowstorm. Anyway once I separated Keshia from her prize and got her in the house thats when things went south in a big way. She puked up maggot filled crap all through the house:eek::eek::eek::eek: I almost called a commercial carpet cleaner as I almost puked just cleaning it up.

Mills....since Sherwood likes mud so much you might think of taking him duck hunting. My first Brittany was a great water retriever as was my English setter Stoney. Some bird dogs really take to retrieving ducks.

I might try that, Tom. Particularly since I need a good duck retriever. I foresee myself doing more upland hunting, between now having a good bird dog and the wild duck populations around here at abysmal levels. We still have wood ducks though and a few released mallard places that aren't too artificial
