We all have different breeds of dogs and those dogs work good bad or indifferent in different terrain and cover -what do your dogs do well in and what cover do you prefer personally for them .
My own wide preference is for classic pointer setter land -wide open dune areas suit my dog very well and the next season I will hunt that in the north and the forest at Muriwai which is mainly cut over but also offers some quite open areas under the tall pines .
My dog needs a lot more wild birds in different forestry terrain where I do loose sight of him and cannot say 100% he wont self flush a moving bird .Some times when MY dog is out of sight or thinks he is he will forget who he is there with "ie ME " and have a play -Ive seen him do it without him knowing I am watching . In the dune areas I have no problem and he tends to hold point very well and will road and flush with ease .
My boy a pretty reasonable dog but needs work --it never stops
