Late Season Quail Hunting
Most hunters do not mix pointing dogs with retrievers while quail hunting, but if the retrieving dog listens to commands it can be a pleasure.

Kelly pointing a single. Thor honored once again, but had nothing to retrieve since the bird was missed.
Good photo of a first year Labrador learning the etiquette of quail hunting. Next year he won’t need to sit.
Thor standing proudly over the catch of the day. Five quail and one jumped rooster. It was a sight to see watching the two dogs compete for the retrieve.
