I enjoy seeing pics of working dogs do what they do so hopefully some of you will enjoy these. Not much to say about her, she turns two in April and this was her first fall hunting ducks and geese. First week after we brought her home Retrieving a drake wood duck in October, her first retrieve. We were tied off along a bank and she swam to shore and brought it over. Waiting anxiously Bringing back another drake wood duck Her first goose, still very much alive and I thought it might drown her. Hearing a few honks in the distance

A pheasant hunt in PA in November, she retrieved two roosters on that hunt Getting after a bufflehead that would not die and could not be shot again since it glided and then swam into a safety zone. She swam under water trying to get that duck, she finally cornered it and caught it. A few geese from last weekend Riding in the canoe We have duck season until the end of the month and goose season through 2/15. This was a slow year, there were more birds and retrieves than the ones pictured, but I wish I could have put her on more birds.

I could only hunt until 8am yesterday so a quick trip to the river was the plan. We had gotten a bunch of snow and everything else was frozen. Chessie waiting patiently. Doing work. The reward

Thanks for the photos. "Not much to say about her", you don't have to we can see it. Great looking dog, still a pup and got it figured out. What river or rivers?

Great pictures having a hunting dog is one of the pleasures of life well worth the effort.

She retrieved a pair of mergansers my buddy shot this morning, but wouldn't sit next to them for a picture. I think I heard her mutter something about "trash ducks" as she turned to walk away. She went back and sat by the river. What can I say, she has high standards.

They love too hunt. My Joe is getting older and slowing down. Enjoy every day with her.
