| Zip "My Dog of a Lifetime" by Ken Hamele Many people have several dogs in a lifetime and usually only one will be there "dog of a lifetime". I have only owned one dog and that is Zip who I can say is my "dog of a lifetime". I got him four years ago this coming December and I can honestly say he is the best hunting partner I have ever had. In a little less than four years he has gone from a puppy to the type of dog I used to dream about owning. When I go hunting with someone and they assure me there are birds in a field I am positive we will see birds within shooting range. Zip is very well mannered, behaved and smart. If the birds are holding I can let him range & he will find birds, point them & wait for the hunter(s) to arrive and the birds to be flushed/shot so he may retrieve them. If the birds are not holding he will quarter out in front of the hunters at 10 - 15 yards and as the birds wild flush you will still get shots at game well within shotgun range. In the house he is a joy to have around. He will beg food at the table only because my wife & I have allowed it to happen. He is concerns about him growling or biting them. He has a very In the house he is a joy to have around. He will beg food at the passive/submissive disposition but he turns into a really aggressive hunter when in the field. He is generally with me where ever I go. Most of the people around where I live know Zip & if he is not with me always want to know where he is. Zips range of hunting experience is pretty wide. He has retrieved ducks, geese, dove, chukar, grouse, prairie chicken, quail and pheasant. He has helped out at two local controlled shooting areas since the fall of 2007. In 2007/2008 he had about 1,200 birds shot over him and in 2008/2009 there were 2,000+ birds shot over him. This year he will be on hunts in Iowa, South Dakota (twice) and Nebraska. He is an excellent retriever and very good at marking downed birds. He is trained to make blind retrieves across open water as well as follow a scent track. I hope this info makes you realize why Zip is "my dog of a lifetime"!! I am proud to take him hunting any place - any time - any where. |
