Other Hunting > Bird Dogs
pet or friend?
SpokaneSlayer:
I completely agree. I just got a pup 3 weeks ago. I think he's going to be a good hunter if I do my part in training him. And if he isn't, so be it. I won't love him any less and he won't be any less than a member of the family.

I know some people choose to leave their hunting dogs kenneled and only let them out to hunt, train, and exercise. I choose different and I'm not saying one way is right or wrong but I like the companionship my dog provides and the fact that he is a pretty darn good hunter is just a bonus. He could be a complete dud in the field and he would still be my best friend. The old adage "you'll ruin a hunting dog by letting them be part of the family" is completely false. My guy is a goofy dork who likes to lay around and chew on toys 340 days a year but those other 25 he is a hunting machine. To each their own, but for me dogs are part of the family.

It makes no difference at all I have had them out side in side in my bed anywhere they want to be. You got a good dog you have a good dog, You dont then well sell it. get a better one. Its all up to everyone some of the best dogs I know couch potatos untill its business time, that goes for some Hall of famers coach potatos untill it was time to win. Its all the dog. Probably a more comfortable dog a dog thats in doors would do better why not hes warm and happy.

the best hunting dogs ive seen are dogs that are always with their owner,(at work, in the house, or just in the cab of the truck)
