This dog I had trained to the gun,no bother,pheasants retrieved in fine style,I was with the land owner one day and we were chatting so long I ignored the dog,when I looked for him he was fast asleep in with a load of week old lambs and ewes,all cuddled up together,the time my 1 st child was 3 years old,he growled at him one day, and he was out the back for good,never left in again....that was the only time he let himself down,he ran in to a scratching stone while lamping afterwards and didn't last long after,before I had to put him down,but he was a well mannered dog up to that growling incid
