Thanks guys. I figured it was BS, but then I'm just figuring out which end the bark comes from.
topgun,
My lab would have a lot of ground to cover to catch your Lady. But, she may make it. I don't think I'd give her up if she couldn't hunt another day. She's become part of the family. But then, she can hunt and does so very well. She's learned to use her nose very well for finding live single quail while ignoring other birds, and she's come a long way on finding downed birds since that first day in a SoDak cornfield where she couldn't find a wounded phez that a setter had to find for her. To be fair, she was only 11 mos old on her first hunt with 25 hunters and 7-9 other dogs and I'd only had her for 3 weeks. So, I cut her some slack.
Thanks again.
