Bird dog questions
One way I look at it: Labrador retrievers are dependent dogs. They depend on your interactions with them to make them happy. Pointing breeds, in general, are independent dogs.

Great experience buying a spotting scope from wnc2500

First upland season for both (dog&human)
If you ever get a chance, I highly recommend attending Huntsmith Seminar by Rick Smith or Ronnie Smith. They really have dog training down. The seminar I attended last summer gave me goosebumps watching the dogs respond. Can't wait to see what year 2 brings you and your pup!- Tracks74

What I learned about CWD after 17 years of direct involvement
I have always said, and will continue to say,: I am certain we don't know what we are doing regarding CWD. Too many policies don't pass the smell test.- Tracks74
