[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 2244351, member: 92702"] Water Dog is considered the "Bible" around here, where waterfowl hunting is #1. As for upland, it might be easier than you think. On our first trip to Canada goose hunting I took a black lab names Butch. He had never hunted anything but ducks and geese. Toward the end of one of the mornings we crippled a goose that went in a windrow a ways off. At the end of the hunt, I took Butch over there to see if he could find it. He did and brought it to me. Then he disobeyed and went back in the cover. He flushed a covey of Grouse that flew right by me and I shot one. He retrieved it. After that, every time we went hunting we had to go all the way around the field and hunt Grouse after we finished Goose hunting. He always hunted close and waited on us. He was a mature dog when this happened, and taught his self to hunt Grouse. We always picked up a few so they must be pretty plentiful up there. The point is it doesn't seem hard to get a good retriever to hunt upland birds. He thought it was a treat. They must taste good. [/QUOTE]
