    Cowboy is a nice looking dog. I love hunting dogs! They're so sleek and agile. What will Cowboy be hunting?

    There's a cool show on the Outdoor channel that shows bird dogs trying to find the decoy. They have to listen & watch their owner to see where to go. It's neat to watch. They're so smart.

    My 'hunter'

    ESS are what is known as a 'versatile' gun dog - they flush and retrieve. He will flush and retrieve pheasant and grouse and be used to retrieve ducks and doves. Their natural reward is the retrieve - so they will flush and chase just to get the chance at the retrieve.

    You know, I've never seen a field-bred ESS. They are much prettier than the show type, IMO. But then again, I think that about nearly every breed. I always like the Field-bred dogs, I have two Field Labs myself.

    Cowboy is a very handsome wrangler, there
