Russ I agree with you on the forum. I have found a wealth of information from members. Never to old to listen and learn. My springer has his own mind when it comes to retrieving birds. He has no trouble finding them, flushing them and locating them after the shot but, when it comes to the retrieve he will bring them when he feels like it. He just seems more interested in putting up another bird. Each dog really has there own personality. I can always tell when he is on a hen or a rooster by his movements. He will point a rooster before the flush. The more you work with a dog the more of a trusting bond that you build with them. I swear sometimes when the dog works real hard to put a bird up and If I miss he comes around and gives me a look like what the hell happen? A couple of times I have looked at him and said, Hey, I'm sorry! LOL!!!!!!!
