Yup, dogs are fun to watch but, in my opinion, not absolutely necessary to the hunt. It's all a matter of opinion and what one considers as the "essence" of the hunting experience. I've had dogs, Brittanies and labs, and I can easily do without a dog. Most times I prefer an "armed walk in the woods" than to constantly be looking for my dog or listening for his bell or beeper. I trust my own "bird sense" and do acceptably well in pleasing the person who I do it for. No offense intended to anyone who does it primarily for the "dog" experience.
