It ought to be a good afternoon.
Last weekend a guy dropped a collared dove in the river, my dog made a beautiful dive, swam out got the bird then swam to opposite bank of the river spit out the bird and took off for two hours. He is a 100% pure bred pilot hound apparently...

That's one helluva beast. At least yours fetches the bird! Mine will chase voles and squirrels before she'll do the darn job she's supposed to be doing. And heaven forbid I leave food out for one minute without keeping my eyes on it. She'll devour it faster than you can say, NO!
