henry d Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 My old girl has been working for the last 13 seasons and last Tuesday was her last day doing a full days work, well apart from the odd guest appearance. She still enjoys her days out and works her socks off and I will let her accompany me roost shooting and ferreting. She has in her time retrieved Grouse, Black game, Woodcock, Mallard, Teal, Wigeon, Goldeneye, Tufted duck, Goosander & Cormorant(under licence), Pinkfoot, Greylag, Corvids, Pheasant, Partridge, Woodpigeon, Rabbit, Hare and Fox !!! She has also trailed 2 deer. Well done my big lass, enjoy your retirement Her last shoot.......... . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdunc Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 You'll have to sneak out shooting without her noticing now She looks great and a proper full size springer too Is there an understudy to take over her duties? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
