Must be something wrong with this thread. No arguing or bickering?

Says who? You wanna fight? My dog is cuter than all ya's dogs.

Unfortunately for her, I don't hunt. (City raised) her sister is a great bird dog and Molly shows signs that she would be as well. I keep her busy with other toys.

Hah! you don't have to hunt to hunt partridge. You aren't going to get any anyway.
The point of "hunting" partridge in NH or ME is to take a Springer out to drive the woods roads in search of birds. You have a nice lunch out, carry a work of art shotgun and maybe fire it in vain.

The dog has a wonderful time and the truck comes back dirty. You see things in the woods like endangered species or old cellar holes and wonder who lived 150 miles from civilization 200 years ago. There's old bottle dumps and crazy Frenchmen driving runaway log trucks. Best of all, the dogs love it and photos tell the story.

Sounds like fun. Plan a trip and count me in! :drink:

My sweetheart below on her 9th dog birthday.





Same dog below is not really allowed on the bed unless there is a cover over it first. Uhh, except this time.
She likes to rest her head on the pillow.

Hey, even city raised boys can learn to hunt....My kidos will push them bunnies right to ya:thumbsup:

You live in a great place for Molly to try it......NH Fish & Game Seminars in Holderness are right around the corner from you

Nice looking dog Bill. That's one I haven't seen.

I know the jury is still out for some on the current cross-breeding trend. But, it's really the same thing that was done years ago to create some of the more popular standard breeds of today.

Plus, what do breeders do to eliminate genetic issues that accumulate in "pure" breeds? They out-cross to a breed or primitive type that doesn't have that issue. Sadly, most pure breeds do have genetic issues resulting from years of breeding to a confirmation standard.
