cat fan,
I hope your name reffers to CAT equipment.
Ferrel cats or house cats are the worst thing of all on wild birds. Pheasant, Chukar, Quail, Grouse, Partridge; whatever species andwherever you are.

No dog will ever be perfect but, there is a big difference between a real bird dog and something that points. There is also a difference between dogs that have the drive to do thingsand dogs that need help or encourangement.
We call these dogs prospects untill they prove themselves.
One thing a great trainer taught me was that a dog. horse, or a man had one thing in common.
Either they have it or they don't.
