That dog looks great. What a fun time.

I took my current dog, about the same age as yours, to a traininer. I have never had a professionally trained bird dog and want to try it once. He has been there two weeks, with likely a 4 month stay. Its pretty quiet and empty in the house while he is gone. My 4 year old lab misses him and has an abundance of energy without the young guy to play with. When the young guy was here, the 4 year old was trying to get away from him more often then not, but he misses him now.
