I LOVE thse little charaters. The owner of our local shoot has 2 and they are real darlings. They think they are Labs and will strugle along to retrieve a phesant and they are always around when we beaters eat lunch. Although we have been banned from feeding them after one ate too much and went and threw up on the hall carpet in front of all the guns. Definately the dog for me when labs become too strong and bouncy OR I have enough time and space to have lots more canine family :D
