Gary, thank you. I haven't been over to talk with the guy who raises the quail but the folks at fisheries and wildlife told me his birds are strong hardy fliers. It will be fun and the more birds that i can get my english setter into the better. We have already shot 60 or more birds over her. Funny, regardless which of my hunting friends shoots a bird over Sophie, she will only retrieve the bird and bring it in to me. I forgot to add that sophie, my setter is 2 1/2 yrs old

Grace is the same way.

Just as it should be! She's your dog, and she knows she works with her man. Enjoy your "quail days!"

That's to be expected, Your her Alfa. She would retrieve to you, her pack leader.
