got a question any body hunt with a dog that,s not a shall we say (normal) hunting dog. the reason i ask is ,my son in law has a lab he is a very good .we took him out to work him and we let pebbles go ,she is a boxer-pit mix,7 month,s old. she watched ,and now she hold,s retrieving,to hand.will stop and can be sent left or right . all this in one day , just never seen anything like it. loves the boat, and will dive right off . and i took her to day not even close to gun shy,as a matter fact you shoot and she look,s and wait,s to see if u send her. move,s around in boat a lot but she,s still a puppy for the most part.

One of my grandfathers hunted most everything, day or night, with "farm collies" (read "mutts") that didn't know they weren't supposed to those things well. But he was just an old hillbilly who didn't know any better.

As long as you can keep her warm, there shouldn't be an issue. If she loves doing it, go with it

FIFY. We know how you feel about pits, Goldie...

Tire an anchor to them and throw the bumper in deep water?

definitely a cam vest, that way the babies wont see him coming!

this dog is a she 1/2 pit,1/2 boxer, sleep,s with the granbaby, and has her own pet cat, clueless as to mean. she love,s everybody.mind,s on hand signals. all in all one of the best pet,s we have ever had.her mom is the boxer,and she is cool but don,t mess with the wife,that,s mama and she will eat ur a$$ !!!

From a hunting and field trial retriever perspective, "if she can mark three birds", I don't care if she's blind in one eye, only has three legs and has spots, I'll take her.

Sounds like a fuster cluck

I think you could turn a lot of heads with that dog at competitions if she follows commands that well. Just don't let the other dog forum know, lol
