Todd your plantation experiences are very much different than mine. I have experienced nothing but excellent dog work with well trained pointers. Some guides will use a flusher to bust the covey and retrieve but ALL the pointers I have hunted with retrieved birds and were steady to wing and shot.
Maybe you need to hunt some better places and IF you or anyone shot my dog it would be much, much more than a measly $5K.
