In my younger years I hunted pheasants and ducks with several goldens that were out of field stock. They were exceptional performers and the best buddy a guy could want. Eventually, I moved to grouse and woodcock country with my best ever golden. He made the transition flawlessly and I shot a bunch of birds over him. Several of my friends are into the cover dog(wild grouse and woodcock) field trial game and they talked me into getting a setter. I am now on my third one with absolutely no regrets. I should mention that I am a bit of a specialist in that I only hunt the king of game birds except for a few doves early in the season.
Here are my boys, 9 months, 6 yrs, and 12 yrs.
