Hunting dogs??

[Ray]

I had a chocolate female for 15 years. So so hunting dog. Had to put to sleep.
I had a yellow female for 12 years. Great hunting dog. Someone stole her, but she was getting too old for my big pond, but she still wanted to hunt.
I had a black male for 10 years. Good dog, but he wouldn't use his nose like my other dogs. He was also very high strung. Never gave up on a duck. But would not listen to my wife. He was a dominant dog and a little too rough for kids. He died in the vet's office of some kind of inherited disease that caused his stomach to bust open.
My wife won't let me have a male again.

It's weird how they are. A friend of mine had a black male that was just as laid back as ever and another buddy had a yellow male that would fight and actually try to kill every male dog he came around. Both dogs tied up at the camp one year and it got ugly. LOL
