hi fellas, the best part of the hunting season starts, and ends with watching a good dog work, that is the part that truly has to be the rewarding part of any hunt, of watching Your dog work, hey there are good dogs, and great dogs, some home trained and others done by pros, but the main thing is to watch their eyes, feel the tention in the bodys when they are doing the job they love to do, retrieve, and add just a little bit of pride in the owner.Yes, take a kid hunting, but never leave home without your dog.
