Best thing I EVER did was let my wife pick out the bird dog. Now she trials with me, occasionally hunts with me, and even bought me a nice little 686 20ga. She even wants her own gun now. The problem is she wants gun that, in her own words, has "that color case stuff with barrels that are SXS, and it has to have really nice wood too." I showed her a really nice AYA #2 RB, and her words were "it's nice, but I want better wood." I wouldn't trade her for the world though. I've got bird hunting trips planned this year to South Africa, South Dakota, and a trip to PA, and she doesn't bat an eye. Of course she might want me leaving so she can call her boyfriend over, I don't know. ;-)
