hi there
the death of any dog of mine, is only tolerable in the memories of the life they lived, yes some of them were hunting dogs .nothing or no one i know would gladly jump into freezing water and bring in a duck or goose except my pal Reba, or her son,Sarge, none would take off through a patch of berry bushes to jump a rabbit like my little buddy Sooner. next to a human family member, loosing a loved pet is the next hardest.

My 12 year old Chocolate Lab "Horst" was run over a couple of weeks ago in my driveway by the UPS driver. I have got to sit down and figure up a settlement amount with the insurer. My memories of him are so fond and he was so dear to me that, I have not even been able to muster up the strength to do it without completely falling apart. He was one of the only stable parts of my life and now all I have are his memories. So in summation I would say, at this point, the memories are making his early demise even that more intolerable. Therefore I disagree in my case.

AGREE!!!!!! As me and fellow hunters' still recall hunting dogs from 40-60 yrs ago. Not only the ones I remember but the ol'timers talk of "Legendary dogs". And all of them ha some annoying habits and traits for 'running the wrong quarry', if ya know what I mean?

I can't decide, because along with every memory goes the realization that the dog is gone, and vice versa. It's like the cloud and the silver lining, you can't have one without the other.

if it was naturally a hunting dog i would be upset for its death, however if it was bred for hunting for some drunk gun-toting sport-hunters than i wouldn't have any sympathy except that it could've had a better life. I have nothing against those hard-working hunters out there, but nowadays there's way more of these guys who are constantly drinking and shooting things for "fun", often leaving it to waste

Um, I guess I agree. Doesn't quite make sense to me though.

It's a dog. Get over it. Get a life.
