Thanks Dean, not bad for a Barre MA. gal.
Gary, She had relocated on birds many times before but not like this time. As I said, at least 6 or 8 times before the John the guy holding the bird was able to flush it out and get the shot. I was pretty excited about how Maggie worked that bird and the amount of time she worked it. John just said "she did what she was meant to do". John is owned by Maggie's mother a bit of a legend in my mind. First time I hunted over her about 8-9 years ago back home I was amazed, she was a Partridge hunting machine, never had hunted over a setter like that before. Told John that if he was ever to have her bred I'd like a chance on a pup. That is another story for another day on how this pup picked me out.
