RE: Bird dog opinions???
I might be the exception to the rule of staying with one breed - I started out with a GSP named Moose and after he passed I got an ESS named Bandit. After he passed I got a big yellow Lab named Levi and he is now four. I recently bought a fbECS named Barney that besides pheasant hunting I also do hunt tests with him. Barney is 21 months I told my wife that the fbECS was going to be my dog of choice from now on and she told me I said that about all the dogs I've brought into the house. We shall see.
