RE: Training
Mustad,
Yes I know. But this setter is just comming into her own. Last season, she's done real well by me atleast as I am not that stringent. She points, reposition if necessary, steady to flush (although I'm working on steady to shot) and isn't gunshy. I don't require her to retrieve but if she does (she started to retrieve naturally) then thats an added bonus. Where I hunt, even some of these very seasoned dogs can't find a winged pheasant as they'll run into the briars. The stuff is so thick, you can actually walk on top of it.
