She's gun shy and a total piddler when it comes to surprises. I want a truck dog. Wife scoffs. Need a ruling. Last edited by RWE; 07/25/14. Reason: forgot what country my dog is in

Prefer it get active when people stop by, other than to pee and hide. I got 2 acres in the fence, 6 acres if I leave the first gate open. 143 after that. So there's room to move. And I know Steelie's got some pups. I don't mind mutts. Best rabbit dog I ever had was a beagle-dachshund mix. And our lab-boxer was the best guard dog I've ever had. A black bitch with an attitude problem.

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!
