Grouse are the same way in that they are uncanny at placing an obstruction between you and them. With pointing dogs 2 hunters is best as one might get a shot. I've never hunted with flushing dogs but have been told the grouse are more worried re a moving dog than the hunter and therefore a single hunter can get a shot. In terms of a pup, a good friend from Alabama gave me a Pointer pup from outstanding breeding. And I can only handle 1 pup at a time, so I may wait on a Brittany pup til next year. Best, Buzz

Socialism is almost the worst.
