monarc23, great picture of your Cocker, but I burst out laughing with that crazy look on his face. Does he always have that look?Some sort of Marty Feldman thing going on there...

I'm in coon dog country. Most have black & tans. Plott hounds are very popular here, too. The house we just bought was previously owned by an avid rabbit hunter and he had quite the set up for his beagles.

We teach our Irish setters to hunt. Actually we didn't have to do much teaching, they have very strong instincts and the first time I put them in a bird field they started to do what should come naturally. I agree not enough people with birdy breeds allow them to do what they were bred to do. The only thing I have to work on still is with my older setter, he needs a little coaxing to drop the bird. It takes a few commands but he will do it and he never leaves a mark..he just wants to hold it for awhile.

around here u see your usual gun dogs, but my personal fav hunting dogs are coyote hounds. below's a pic of one of my dad's cousin's dogs.

Seems like the dogs should trade places?​
