I had a Chessie that would growl at you with your first miss and bite your boot if you missed again. Motivated you to either not miss or let some else shoot first. He was one of the best retrievers I ever had and would bust through ice like not other Chessie I have ever had. He out smarted more than one crippled Black duck and that is saying something. Thank God he passed long before I had to shoot steel or I might be named peg leg Jon. smile
