Depends on the temperature.

My younger dogs can hunt all day if it doesn't get above 30F, assuming they are not plowing through the snow.

At 70F thirty minutes can be taxing. Hunting along a stream where they can get their belly wet extends a hunt on a hot day.

I hunt with French Brittanys. English Pointers have more heat resistance than my Brittanys.


I am glad to be here.
