I really like golden and labrador retrievers. I plan to have a house kept retriever some day, and I'm wondering if it would possible to bring it varmint hunting with me (like a canine hunting buddy). Assuming it was trained well enough that it would sit/lay/stay when I told it to, would it be ok to bring the dog on groundhog hunting trips? Would the groundhogs be scarred upon sight of the dog/sound of the bark?
