Bud and I went to a Pa Gamelands today to give the Dog a chance are some easier Birds. A good day in that we put up around 15-17 Birds in some really thick cover.
Merlot got some flushes and a few retrieves. One of which was a runner that he eventually had to dig out. His English Pointer had some really nice points.
Not the real deal, but good experience for a young Dog. Probably go to another one tomorrow.
