Annie gets to hunt pheasants 7 months out of the year as a guide dog at our local pheasant preserve. She loves pheasant hunting more than anything and is a flawless retriever. She will even do water retrieves as long as she sees the bird go down. She has done a couple of blind retrieves but she really took some coaxing. Many times I just take my camera and take pictures of the dog work and the hunters. I would rather leave my gun home than go hunting without a my bird dogs. When I pull out back in the truck they can tell we are gonna have some fun and they all get excited. We are planning another litter of puppies from Annie in the fall of 2010.
