This is Midwest pheasant hunting. This is not pheasant shooting at a club with planted birds, dog handlers, people to pick up your shells and train your dogs for you. There is a big difference! Not that I don't like a nice social setting... but this is what we do that no one sees. Thank you for sharing!
Way to get after 'em! Great dogs and lots of fun. Makes me wish I spent more time last season chasing roosters. Give Roxy and Skye an ear scratch for me. Randy S
Hope this can help but I’ve taken mine out in a hunting boat at 5 in the morning heading in then later out of a swamp. They love the water so like most bird dogs there going to want to take a dip before they get in the boat, but then my golden retriever will hop in the boat with us on command, and since he’s such a good cuddler he’ll just sit right infront of me letting me hug/ hold him Last year we were heading out to the swamp and didn’t know our friends dog was already out there, he freaked out my dog but my golden just gave him a little growl tho stayed in the boat. There good friends he just wasn’t expecting to see another dog out in the swamp. So yeah golden retrievers can be great with boats/kayaks as long as you work with them

Those are not your run of the mill GRD's. You can tell they have American Field in her blood lines. They blend so well in that environment!
Very cool. My wife wants a goldie and I need a hunting buddy for water and upland. How are they in a kayak or canoe?
Haven't tried that yet, although I've brought the older dog out in a 14 foot jon boat for duck hunting and she was fine with it. They are great dogs.
