Speaking of little hunting dogs, my wife and I were pheasant hunting years ago over by Potholes and we met a guy that had 3 dachshunds out pheasant hunting. We sat and watched them work an area for a while......they worked it pretty good. Didn't get anything while we were watching but we talked to him when he got back to his truck and he had one bird. He said they were good bird dogs.

Love your shed dog. They might not be able to carry much but they can certainly find things a person could miss. My sister had a little dog like that when we were kids. That little dog and our German Shepard would follow us for hours when we were horseback riding. Years later my Mom had a toy poodle that loved to hunt grouse with my Dad and I. She would not even try to retrieve but she was great at getting in the brush and flushing birds out. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
