RE: Dogs
lab will hunt anything you train them to hunt.they like to RETRIEVE .they like WATER.learn dog to come,to sit, to drop something when you say DROP IT.SHOOT A 22 CAL AROUND HIM while training on what you want to hunt.if its birds, flush a bird, shoot 22 cal,i use blanks.when toby would run to where he thought the bird flushed, i carry a dummy grouse in y backpack, i would put grouse scent on it and when he was not looking, i threw it in the brush.after a FEW TIMES, HE LEARNED.

RE: Dogs
A friend I hunt with has a Jack Russell that he takes hunting. My shorthairs work the fields for birds and rabbits while his Jack will go into all the nasty briars and thickets to chase out the rabbits. Only problem is half the time the dog is within inches of the rabbit not allowing for a shot.
