I agree and everyone else is entitled to theirs. I am just sharing my experiences. For every bad experience there are just as many good ones I’m sure. Thus my comment about exceptions.

Here is my 2.75 yr old shorthiar named “Cora”. We finished her FC AFC and Master Hunt title this spring. She also has a SHR retrieving title we finished last fall. She won the Arkansas Classic Amateur NBHA Trial, and was runner up at the GSPCA National Amateur Gundog Championship this year.
