Now I will readily admit that I don't know shit about gun dogs, but my own opinion is that if you own working dogs the number one priority is always trying to find enough work for those dogs.......and it ain't easy.
I agree, you should be compensated but that can come in many forms and if any working dog owner can get to,work their animal at what it was bred for then really any money is a bonus.
To be honest, I have met a few blokes on shoots who only ever talk about money in some way, wether it be the price they are charging for their latest litter or the rates or how much it cost the
