This is one of our american cockers I have been working with trying to get her to hunt. (our springer had to be put down last year) she has allways been good in the field and I decieded to give her a shot this year hunting.
I was worried about her being gunshy but it turned out to be no problem.
We where working a rise and she was on the scent and the rooster popped up about 4 feet from her. I nailed it with the 20 ga, and turned and looked at her and she was still working the scent! no problem with the report at all.
I worked her down to the bird and she walked right over it! (often a bird will get "Airwashed" and have alot less scent. that and she had only seen one bird before. (one I brought home) so to say the least I am happy with her progress.
I am still planning on getting a springer for hunting dutys but Breenie will be a hunting buddy for years to come I have a feeling.
