Thanks guys. Good to know I’m mostly on the right track. Not that I hunt enough these days to give the dog issues but I was just going to carry on as normal and try not to burn him out physically. ...

Took Ski (or Ski Bone, as I like to call her) on a trip last year -she's only just turned two. She loved the hunting but was not as keen on the packraft out, hates the cold... 247808 247809 247810
