Great dogs everyone! I'd bet most of you cannot imagine hunting birds without a dog.
Really cannot pick a favorite. They all had great qualities
Best mearns dog of the five GWPs I had had over 35 years is Asa.
Boldest, sharpest, as in aggressive, and most determined to find downed game was Thor.
Oli, in foreground, is great on all birds, the best retriever, always to hand. Probably the most gentle and loving of all the dogs.
