Good nose, hunts well, healthy, but if you aren't right on top of him he buries the bird so quick you can't find a sign of it. If you do find it, he hasn't harmed it at all, it's just a little dirty. It's my father-in -law's dog, and he is working with it and says it is starting to improve. Buried 3 last week but actually retrieved one. I know he only uses positive reinforcement training and I understand why, any thing negative could discourage the dog from hunting at all. This is the second season hunting for this dog.
Any hints or similar experiences would be interesting. Thank you.
