You're gonna love this... we have an 8 year old male Dalmatian named Diablo.
He does have some bird sense. We have taken him out with us morning dove hunting and he retrieves fairly well. We had started him on pheasants but he is too dang wimpy to be out in the field.
We will be getting a yellow Lab in the near future though. I have a couple of different (nick)names for him but will wait to see what his registered name will end up being.[:-]
