That first photo is a show dog holding on a bird? Doesn't look like a show dog to me! That was his first good holding and look at that check cord on him.This photo is the same show dog holding and looking pretty good to those show people?! And yes the check cord is here too, and yes, he does retrieve naturally! Yeah they are monsters in size with a 35 lb female and a 65 lb male, but very quick for the giant size of them. Also what a nose they have in finding birds.

So I guess you would have to look harder to find them but they are here dancing in the woods for those show folks to try and find LOL .




I hope to have better photos this spring when the woodcock migrate north through here. I have a new camera so I can put the 35mm to rest now, and not wonder why my photos didn't get developed right.
