I have three true american waterfowl gunning dogs, which I consider to be the Chesapeake Bay Retriever. Dakota, pictured, is a Hunting Retriever Champion I trained myself and is my pride and joy. Hunting out of a BBSB with cork decoys, a Model 21 and a true gentleman of a dog. Not many more fun things in life than that.
You are correct on the river part. We have many small rivers in our area and they provide fairly consistant gunning if you can read the water and understand the pattern. Few things are more rewarding then finding a new spot and setting up well enough for birds to swoop in at 10 yards.
Good luck to you and everyone else this season. I just placed my order for a RBL "Waterfowl Special" which maybe I will be able to hunt next year with and let the Model 21 take a break.
