Are you waterfowling or p*u*s*s*y hunting?? This chicky would freeze her ass off if she went waterfowl hunting with me. If you could train her to retrieve she may be worth something but until that happens leave her at home for when the hunting is done and your ready for some boondah.
Yeah buddy, I hear that. Colder than hell here right now. I just need to get some time off of work to go do some duckin.Nice dog, I have the same. Do you do any hunt tests with your dog?
I never have tried in if the hunt tests or field trials in general- with three kids I'm lucky enough to even get the dogs trained.
This ol' dog has just about seen the last of its seasons...I'm currently training a female Chessie as my next duck dog. She'll be my second Chesapeake and if she's half the dog my male was...Whoooohooooooo!
