Thats a nice looking dog David. If she is going to work for you in the duck blind does she have her Green card?

I interesting story there. First Delta lost her, finally found her, but had lost her medical records. Custom would not let her go until I found an understanding Customs Agent that was a lab guy. He said "Delta screwed up but I will not let a Lab suffer for it . I was shortly on my way home . Long frustrating day and inexcusable on Delta's part.

The needless red tape we have to suffer through is absurd in most cases. I don't like to fly with a gun anymore and I can't imagine shipping a dog by air. I have a friend who raises English Setters and he gets and ships dogs by air all the time. I'm to old and crusty I guess for the modern world

I completely agree with you. I had never shipped a dog by air before and would be very reluctant to do so again. I think though that Ireland to SC is a mighty long blind retrieve!!

That's true but if she did it look at the bragging rites you would have. When she gets a little older you'll have to let her have some green beer with her kibbles just to keep her roots grounded so to speak.

This reminds me of a double bred Super Chief female I picked up about 30 years ago. 3 hunters had shot 59 geese on a half frozen lake using mag 10's. A few cripples and a lot of dead scattered birds. Jim asked me what are we going to do now and I said we'll go get my 9 month old pup and give her a work out. 2 hours latter all birds were retrived. Sadie was tired and bleeding from cutting the ice to get the birds. What a memory your young pup has brought back. I hope she turns out great. Dave

"Tar", the black girl in my avatar came from Scotland. Last spring, after we lost her, we went over and picked up a new pup from the midlands. No pix of her with game yet, but that will get remedied on October 12, when she will be one of the dogs for a 1,000 birdtower shoot at the club I hang out at.

British Labs are the best!

I love dog stories- keep them coming. Maybe we need a separate thread for all of them (maybe we have one- I forget).
