Great looking dog. Nothing like watching the world thru the eyes of a youngster. My chocolate, 13 years old, still has it in his mind, but his body can't take the rough stuff anymore. Enjoy this friend while you can, all too soon they get old and eventually pass from us. I have a younger black, 7, however she developed a kidney issue 3 days before the opener and we almost lost her. She is on the mend but will be out for at least the first split and perhaps the season. But I'm glad she is in recovery. Anyway, good post and I wish you many years of hunting pleasure with this special companion.
