I've had Shorthairs for as long as I can remember.....so at least a year or two
. That is a fine looking dog there and he reminds me of my little buddy Gunner.
Daisy and I hit the Hay Marsh for a morning hunt. She made some fine retrieves on crippled birds that flushed just a tad far for an AAHE upgraded 28.
I have never been to SD for a Pheasant hunt but it's on my bucket list.
