Sorry for your loss but just a quick note about bird dogs; they are NOT supposed to bite into the birds, rather, they should just grip as tightly as necessary to hold the bird in their jaws until it is safely delivered to its handler. I used to train and run sporting dogs in competion, ANY dog that damaged the skin or in anyway bit into its retrieve would be instantly disqualified and encouraged never to compete again.
