This is an incredible feat that my female Black Labrador, Mandy, performed while dove hunting. Mandy and I went dove hunting at a state public hunting area. We set up along side a deep water canal to pass shoot doves. There were not many doves flying that day, but I killed a few and Mandy retrieved. One dove went down on the other side of the canal and got lodged in the upper part of a blackberry tangle. Mandy had marked the bird down and swam over to get the dove. Well she could smell the dove, but couldn't get to it and she finally came back without the dove. A week later we went back to the same spot. Mandy immediately swam over to the spot where the dove went down the previous week. The dove had decayed enough that it fell to the ground under the blackberry bush. Mandy picked up that dove and brought it back to me. I call that incredible.

Let's hear about the incredible feats your hunting dog has performed.
