Life in the Old Dog yet.

Good effort from the old boy. I used to think of retiring them when old but I now think they should just keep going to keep them going.

I think it might be different with " point and squirt" dogs that are just run off a slip.  They are a sort of one trick pony. 

I try for a  modicum of obedience and steadyness type training and once its hairing about days are over the dog can still be useful in other ways like shooting and ferreting . Or just a stressless companion.
