    Not a bad guesstimate Rushy, went and had a look in the tail jar for you, he was 25

    Don't let him restore your faith just yet - early days. 4 birds does not make a bird dog - Still the waiting for the wheels to fall off... Elena can shoot over her dog when she gets a gun that she doesn't moan about!

    Went out this morning with Toby for a run down his neck of the woods and came up empty handed, saw a couple and missed a gift shot, lucky Toby didn't see it as I never would hear the end of it it, a shot I shouldn't miss A great morning with great company, will have to do it again Toby in my neck of the woods

    Last time I took him out this week he chased one. The next one he chased on that trip I ran him down, and we had a quick discussion - dragged him back to where I blew the stop whistle. Now, he points rabbits staunchly as he points a pheasant! Steady to them flushing too. It's not a bad thing, it's just something I've never seen him do. Had two staunch points on rabbits today lol

    It was awesome to see him point even though it was a rabbit. Can see why you guys love it.

    Took Toby out this morning for a run with Patch, had a few finds:

    Toby nailed this one under 10 metres, full choke!

    Next bird I pricked, it did a runner out the other side where it got the full choke treatment again! This one went 32 bars to Toby
