Larry,
I thought about the possibility of Gus biting through the feathers, but I don't think that would happen. Certainly not with front incisors and canines. And besides, there were feathers in the air when I shot it.

There are always those great moments when your dog does something that is totally above and beyond the call. That's why we hunt with them. I'll forget a thousand great (or lucky) shots I have made on birds. Well maybe not a thousand, but a few dozen for sure. However, I'll always remember all of those incredible retrieves.
