Now to keep her on birds birds birds...

Andy: Take your time and enjoy the hunt and most certainly the dog. Kill numbers are not important here. Its the whole adventure for you and pup. Your new at this so take your time and experience this new outdoor adventure together. At 75 I still remember my early days with my Dad, listening to him and watching what he did and how he and the dog worked together.... yea, I wanted to be a killer then, but soon learned about the whole experience.... To this day I thank the creator for the experience and the game provided.....
EDIT: I would suspect, with a Decoverly setter you could loose that electronic neck gear and just let the dog hunt for you.... Put a good bell on the dog....
Just me talking...
