Just like a pointing breed. It’s a wonderful, if anxious, time. Good luck, but I’m sure your experience will provide all you need.

I would not mind coming back as one of your duck dogs.

Garry my mind set is always been try to give your hunting dogs every opportunity to reach there maximum potential. How many dogs never reach anywhere near their potential. One of the great joys in my life is having the resources and time to have great hunting companions. I can't imagine a full life without a hunting dogs. The memories of great retrieves are priceless.
