Have always been tempted to spend a day in the eastern UP for sharptails on my way west of there for grouse. Good looking dog for sure!

Thanks Harold, I think it can definitely be worth it but it’s very pressured. There are many farms with hunter access program up there, and when we rolled up to one in the evening on opening day there were trucks full of hunters and setters on every other property we could see.

Beautiful country up there, I love west Texas where I’m from with all my heart but Michigan is a magical place.

Thanks for sharing. More than once I've seen a mixed breed thrive. Nice looking pup.

Flushing dogs are definitely a lot of fun!

If you're going to get a Springer, make sure it's a field-bred dog, not a show dog
