Allen, this isn't my first field trial reject. The second best grouse dog I ever owned, Stoney, was a two year old field trial reject. Other than my first bird dog at 14 years old, Stoney was my best grouse dog. He hunted close in tight cover and opened up in Saskatchewan for huns and sharptails. He was also a good quail dog. Bill Murphy has hunted quail with him. I'm hoping my new little setter turns out like Stoney and the others. I've had many grouse dogs. With a little luck this one will join the ranks.
