Re: Drive vs Cooperation
A dog that would hold point until the bird flushed and then chase used to be called "staunch". If I use the term today. often as not I get a blank stare. RayG Still called staunch here. A very well understood and defined term in bird dogs. "Staunch, but not broke" maybe ?? :wink: ------------------...
