So far been a good season. Dogs are having fun.
Today.
Dog pics of the hen flush. Quick point by Mollie (Maggie realizing she is missing something), reorient to bird, then charge and flush. Whole sequence was 5-6 seconds. Bird downed in corn row and Maggie found and retrieved.

Thanks! They both have incredible prey drive.
What I like is they listen to me. When I first realized they had bird instinct I took them to a trainer who said something like "train them to listen and follow basic obedience commands and let the hunting instincts come natural". I can take them to any field and be surrounded by many other dogs and they mind their own business. I see so many hunters with field grade hunting trained dogs that just don't listen to basic commands and run at other dogs and just act up. Not mine. They will leave every dog alone unless one gets too rambunctious with one of mine then they both band together and let the other dog have it. And then the owner of the agitator dog will look at me like it's my dog's fault due to the breed of my dogs. No, your dog charged and jumped one of mine and my dogs both took that as aggression and counter attacked and took your dog down. Sorry......but not sorry.
