Never had a noise problem with GWP' though.

My GWP never stands up in the back of the truck, but as soon as I turn off onto the side road where I go hunting most she's straight up onto her feet and all keenness. She just seems to know.

She never makes a noise either in the truck or hunting, except for over a downed deer. Then she makes chewing/biting sounds and will often yip or bark a bit until I turn up.

Brilliant !

Took Ells down the river for a swim...she was on to something...then I smelt that lovely aroma...deer...did not see the animal but saw fresh sign in the shingle...

I don't usually run my dogs braced when shooting alone, I run them alternately, easier to handle one and have one at heel. I will run them braced if a mate is shooting however. Like you I think two dogs is a must for any upland shooter, never seem to run the legs off them that way, and always have fresh dogs up your sleeve

Thanks Pointer.
As age catches up with me I almost always let both my dogs run and hunt together (one died recently) When we get a bird we all sit - lie down and have a blow for a while, which suits me just fine. These days we just plod along at easy pace and get a heap of relaxed enjoyment out of it, and still enough game to be content.

Have some associations over your way. Extended family had a butchers shop in Te Puke, and a kiling shed by the river . Others farming just a bit towards Pukehina. Learned to hunt pheasants on the local railroad tracks when we were young.

EeBees, is that a Brittany Spaniel?

careful woody you don't wanna use the s word

Woody, she is an Epagneul Breton, or as the Americans say a French Brittany...

And the frogs would say Brittany spaniel

I know, Kawhia, I know... the spaniel from Bretagne...
