Cookie is really a good GSP but left to her own devices she will wreak havoc in the pheasant pen.
Her owner, a neighbor of mine, often leaves her out of her kennel when he goes out on business or to market and that is something that should never be done with an expensive bird dog. Despite her transgressions when Lenny isn't around to keep her out of trouble, she is still hell on pheasants, chukars and ruffed grouse and she is steady to flush and shot. Heck, who can blame her for her excitement when there are so many birds to occupy her idle time.
