pretty reasonable given his lack of work time --I put him up to be tested against others and let that be his credentials and not what I might romance

I cannot see you mentioned there at all !
i do find this statement quite tell tale and well worn though of romantics "I do not need to compete with anyone to know that.."
What is it that you want someone to say of a dog they have never seen in the public arena being tested against its peers other than its probably quite reasonable ??

Which is the point i am trying to make about you comment that my dog is simply 'reasonable'...

I hope one day we can sit down with a latte and discuss this...I dont know about you, but I am just glad that we gundog people have the privilege if you like to own, work and cherish our chosen breeds, to have the opportunity to hunt them as they were intended to do and to compete against each other if that is our wish.

Regarding fur and feather, I agree with you Wirehunt. The Epagneul Breton is colloquilly (dang) referred to as the Poachers Dog...he was created by peasants for peasants, thankfully some influential people embraced the little one and helped make him what he has been, become...his role was to augment the table of the peasant (and the peasant needed a little dog that was high voltage and low upkeep)...which meant fur and feather, poached or not. I think to take the fur out of his equation is wrong.
