Mike, I don't know what training you did to get to this point, but you should be giddy with the results as you describe them. Congratulations. I love all hunting dog breeds, but it's worth picking out cockle burrs and tending bloody tail tips to have a dog with long hair, feathers on its legs and tail...and a tail that tells all (especially one that shows intensity on point no matter what "o'clock" it is).
