Garry- My wife and I brought our first bird dog with us on our Honeymoon on an island off the coast of Maine many years ago. We figured it would be a good introduction for him in a small boat on the ocean for future sea duck hunting trips. That's how bad we are!
The joy they have brought to our lives in the years since at home, on the road and in the field is immeasurable.
1) But here's another thing...we absolutely draw the line on not letting the dogs on the furniture at hunting camp!
2) Our 5 year old Griff demonstrating the proper hold technique to our 7 month old in Pittsburg NH a couple weeks ago.
Sorry about the sideways photos- still have not figured that out...
And thank you Garry for the incredible photos on your posts!!
