Default Daisy's Day

Was asked to bring Daisy, my 6 year old British Lab, to a 1,000 bird European Shoot at a club which i have been around for years. No interesting guns in evidence, but did witness the highest bird shot I have ever seen. I'm going to call it 75 yards. She ended up with 50 birds. Tired puppy today. In the first picture, she is guarding part of her stash, and in the second, she is with one of the melanistic (sp?) phase birds she ended up with.

I’ve always admired those melanistic pheasants.

Nice work Daisy!

Love those dog pictures! I'll bet Daisy was in heaven with so many birds. Thanks for posting.
