Downside will be when you take him out and come back with only one or two you have to live with his looks of disappointment

I run a pointer and she does retrieve but I its not something I have put extra work into. If I still lived closer I would be happy to help beating, picking up etc. For me its not really about the actual shooting more about the dog working.

It’s why I run a pack of cockers, you get the fringe benefit of dogging in with your pointing breed between shoot days.
