    I love the open type country you speak of but locally my dog finds himself working a lot more in the heavy cover. Sometimes he will point birds but then have to push deep in the cover to get the flush, can be tricky ebing unsure as to what hes doing when working in the heavy stuff i.e pointing etc. Being small helps him get through the blackberry bushes for retrieves

    I can usually smell when hes doing that....haha
    Might have to give that a go but the birds are pretty cagey around here, might put them up too soon
