Thanks again for the advice, I think I will invest in a good dog training book and see if I can make this family pet to be a good field dog as well.... hell the way its going, he will be the only family member joining me in the field.... I have been in the bush a great deal of late scouting for turkey and putting corn out to feed both the turkey and the deer and not once has one of my 4 children come with me to just knock around in the bush and just enjoy the walk to busy on the computer all the time... I will guarantee that this pooch will never turn down the chance to get out run.

I was kind of hoping that the auction would yield some photos of a new toy or two that you bought... nothing much to look at or prices too high or both?
