[QUOTE="Ponyroper, post: 234593, member: 423"] My dog Whitney was a give-away out the the Bismarck Trib and when I went to get her I thought she was a Rottweiler by her color pattern so I almost didn't take her. Owner said she was an oops from his neighbors lab male and golden retriever female so I took her. She was 11 months old and had only retrieved tennis balls on the lawn so I had to work her on using her nose for a week or two. I took her hunting about 3 weeks later along with my brothers GSP and his friends GWP and after a week of grouse and pheasant hunting she was the best of the three. (IMHO) She was my sidekick for almost 16 years and I haven't hunted since I lost her. On another note, when I used to live down near Strasburg a farmer friend told me a local retired lawyer used to come back from Arizona every fall and hunt until the end of bird season and he would stop in the farmers yard and pick up their farm dog and keep it the whole time he hunted there. It was just a mutt, kinda looked like a German Shepard Collie cross but the lawyer said he hunted like a field trial champion. Don't know how the lawyer ever found out it would hunt but I often saw them out in the CRP around Strasburg and the dog was always 20 or 30 yards out in front of him working like crazy. Guess you can never tell what a dog can do unless you give them a chance. [COLOR=silver][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
