varmint stalker

I've got me a black lab/pit mix that I picked up at a shelter for merely an adoption fee. She is a natural. Stays with me or the group, stops when we stop, moves when we moves and stays by me, flushes rabbits, retrieves squirrels, and responds to deer simply by looking and lifting her head right next to me which tells me where they are. No training whatsoever. Obviously she isn't a upland bird dog or a hog dog or any specialized hunting dog, but she suits my needs just fine. Makes a great camp dog too, with no training. Sometimes you get lucky with dogs like this, but I wouldn't call it common.
