My next to the last Lab, Suwannee often retrieved two wood ducks at once, to save the extra swim, I guess. The most incredible feat my dogs have pulled off though was when my all time best pointer, Sugar pointed on the edge of a pond.
There was no bird but she would not give up the point. I noticed a small dry ground island out mid pond, and threw a stick out to it. That flushed the resourceful quail which was hiding there and I shot the bird.
Sugar, who had never ever given any indication that she even knew how to swim made the water retrieve. I happened to be on a plantation when that occured and the owner offered me two grand for her on the spot.
Turned him down of course and on the ride home my older and wiser law/hunting partner observed that he'd just seen two of the biggest fools ever. The plantation owner for offering that much money for a plug bird dog, and me for turning it down!...Geo
