RE: Best dog you ever had...
Mine would have to be my old GSP Max he died about 3 yrs. ago when he was in his prime he would start a slow walking point on a bird at about 30 yds with his head held high as he walked closer his head would start to come down and when he was close he locked up solid. retrieved great but one of his best qualities was he almost never lost a cripple we' ve lost him for 15-20 min at a time after he went after one and after abit here he would come back with it and if a bird went down that he didn' t see all I would have to do is get him in the general area and tell him dead bird and most generally he would find it. This was in the late 80' s early 90' s when CRP was plentiful I was taking 60 wild birds a tr myself and my huntin partners almost as many all over Max. He was also my first bird dog trained him myself
