What a AKC Master Hunter can do in the duck marsh would amaze most hunters that have never had the experience of hunting with such a dog. In marsh hunting covered up in a boat blind most ducks fall without the dog seeing the fall. You have to be able to handle the dog to the area of the fall if you hope to retrieve the bird. A great handling Lab is the ultimate in team work between man and canine in any bird hunting I have experienced. No offense to pointing dog lovers.

I'll never forget the blind retrieve on that pheasant in SD.

Craig , I’m curious how does she react to you when you visit her ? She doesn’t think of the trainer as her master ?

It's not an issue, she works as hard for me as the trainer regardless who is running her. Labs just love to work and she is always very happy when I visit.
