Good eye Trigg The top is a Golden "Morgan" and the bottom is labXhusky "Charlie" Before we adopted "Charlie" I had spent the better part of two seasons dogless. "Morgan" is the neighbors pet. Never been in the field in her life. I thought I would ask if "Morgan" could have some time doing what she was bred for. They agreed and "Morgan" found me a few roosters on 3 or 4 trips out. She is pretty much a natural. Just another example of a pet being up to the job. I was a bit concerned about firing the shotgun, since she was not at all introduced to it. I didn't want her to be gun shy, so the intent was to let her wander out a ways and fire in the opposite direction and repeat a couple times. Trouble was, she got onto a bird right away and flushed two nice roosters, so it was an immediate trial by fire. Didn't phase her a bit. She went on to find more, so she was invited a few times. The neighbor has a new found taste for wild pheasant.
Here is a shot of "Rio" who is an outdoor farm dog - a pet, but not a house dog. "Rio" is amazing and leaves the yard to hunt with anybody that even remotely looks like they might be hunting. Another natural hunter with no training but does it all and very well.
