Personally the most important thing I want is the dog NOT to chase when bird is flushed. My reason is most miss behind with shotgun and I don't want my mates to shoot my dog!!

My mates up in Northland, apparently they have some good pheasant numbers so I'll definitely let him know your methods and thanks for chiming in.

Talking to him yesterday, the dog is steady to shot (on deer) and works close so hopefully he'll figure it out all good.
