I think the best pheasant dog for NZ conditions is as small type of flushing/retrieving breed like a cocker that you can throw out the window of your truck for quick retrieves when road shooting in...

as far as ranging goes a dog can be made range at the distance you want if you teach it to turn short or long .A dog can also range short depending on cover even if it does range long in open ground...

They say what separates a good dog from a great dog is not what he does, but what he produces... I'm glad you guys recognize a good sire and are capitalizing on his progeny!

No , Dog is a tasty animal , what seperates a good from great is how he's cooked .

Taken about 4pm today. 6 finds in 20 minutes. Drop to flush on all of them, but noticed the steam coming out of the ears by find five. Sixth bird, Kaboom. Off like a shot, chased it for 100m....
