i know this is a pointer site as i run shorthairs but also love labs and wanted to say It is with deep sadness of his loss that i report that i lost my old dog sprig this week. he passed away at 16 1/2 years old. he was an amazing animal and most likely one of the oldest living master hunter retrievers in the country. he was more than a gun dog as my whole dog training business was built around him and the desire i had to train dogs as a pro came from the success I had with him. he would hunt waterfowl one day, chuckars the next. he was a superb grouse hunter but was most known for his legendary skills at hunting pheasants. he was certainly one in a million for more reasons than just hunting however. i wrote a short story about him on my website http://www.sprigkennels.net/sprig/
thanks

Sorry to hear but it sounds like he had a long and productive life with you. That should provide many good memories when the hurt is over.

It's not how many breaths you have taken but how many times it has been taken away!
Has anyone noticed common sense isn't very common anymore.
