Sorry for late reply. Was finishing up farming then getting ready for duck season. I've been hunting over bay dogs for 31 years. I'm putting the finish on my 9th one right now, and I wouldn't duck hunt over any other breed. My best one is a hound who was in the right place at the right time. He came of age during duck dynasty, and since I've been guiding I've never seen the numbers of clients we ran for those 3 years that show was hot. He had little over 6000 retrieves on ducks alone by the time he was wore out and my daughter took him from me few years ago. I hunt over wooden upper bay decoys and I believe they went to his head because he became a total,throw back to the old breed. You couldn't pick up a duck he put by the blind unless you were me and you dang sure weren't getting in the pickup or decoy trailer if he was around. He is a bit like owning a pet rattle snake, but what he lacked in civility he more than made up for in the field! Repeat clients loved to watch him work and knew and respected that he was a total professional and not to be messed with. He now lives out his days guarding my daughter and God help the person that messes with her��
I've got a female CBR I call Sook who is another professional but a tad bit softer on people although a meth head walked closer to the pickup than she was safe with and she jumped out the window and had him bayed up against his car. She is awesome to watch on divers because she goes underwater to get em when they dive.
Her back up Carlos is on his first season this year. I'm just hunting him lightly this season but he fetched 8 by himself this morning. All basically blinds because I kept him staked until the morning rush ended. He did awesome. He is probably the friendliest CBR I've ever owned. He likes everyone.
