I want a truck dog.

Wife scoffs.

Need a ruling.

I hear ya! This one came with the new wife and step-daughters so I haven't had her around guns much (other than gopher safaris with rimfires). She will flush grouse on her own with no encouragement so does have some instincts. The wife has always had Cockers so I've been telling her the next one should be a Brittany or similar Spaniel - after all they're just a bigger Cocker, right? Good luck with the new pooch!
