I think we all can say what we feel is the best dog for pheasant
hunting or any other purpose. I have to look at the temp. that
the dog has as well as a number of factors. I enjoy the Irish and
it does not mean anyone else have to. I have children that enjoy
playing with them as well. So for my purpose the Irish does well.
I like to watch them on birds and the ability to stay with a running
bird without causing it to flush as well as pointing it when it is not
running. I simply love the style that they show when hunting as
much as the hunting they perform for me.
