I have another dog who is not a hunting dog. His name is Buster, and he is about 12. They haven’t fought since they got together. There has been a growl from Buster once in a while, but nothing from the newcomers side.
We don’t really have that many grouse here. At least in my experience. We do have partridge and chukar. I’ll take your advice and see what he does.
I have to get one first.
