That is TOO COOL Jim! Due to this back issue, I haven' t been able to duck hunt for two years now, and suffering along with me has been my pup, as I haven' t been working her at all. BUT, this year is a different story and I hope to get out there more. Obviously those fuds would make my life A LOT easier.

I have two labs myself, one yellow which is from very primo stock (a friend of a friend type deal....no other way we could justify the cost) who is slender/muscular/goes 120% at all times, which is almost to his detriment. She just won' t sit still for nothin' . Now on the other hand I have a black named ' Ally' and she is 1/2 show-1/2 field blood. I don' t know how two dogs could be so different. She will go gang busters to the dummy/bird, and I swear she must stop and take a quick snooze somewhere along the way when she' s coming back in!!! And it just flat out didn' t matter what I did to try to quicken her up...had a collar on her initially, that dang thing didn' t make one bit of difference. The yellow would yelp when it was on ' 1' , and the black wouldn' t flinch no matter how high that thing was cranked up.

It' s so funny, dogs are so much like humans it' s ridiculous.

Sorry to ramble Jim, I could just tell you love your pup like I do....even if she does make me trudge out there and find it myself from time to time!!!
