Thanks for the warm welcome and I'm petting one now. I took her out this past Sunday to a place where we have a few wild pheasants not in season yet. I wanted to knock the dust off her nose and she did good. I didn't spray my clothes down with anything and got covered with deer ticks head to toe, so we left in a short while. She had four good flushes for a total of seven birds. I would have shots on all of them accept one flush.
