i know your feeling i have a 3 yr old female, that has 2 hunting seasons under her belt,she will pick everything that hits the ground or water, can swim like a beaver, find quail in very heavy brush, will pick up and return doves all day, also will track a wounded deer, and is great hunting predators.i have had bobcats 10 yrds away and they have a stareing contest she wont move until i shoot, same on coyotes,had a hell of a time keeping her from going after pigs the first year but shes over that now. when we have hunters she sits at the bar on a stool and visits with everyone then lays under the dining room table during supper. she a great pal and goes everywhere i go, and she makes me laugh.rio7
