When it came to birds, Emily was a very aggressive Brittany. We were hunting pheasant on the ranch and Emily went on point. I flushed the bird and it flew off towards the river. I shot and the bird dropped into the river and I told Emily to fetch.
She leaped off of the bank that was 15' above the water as well as any Lab and a few minutes later appeared downstream with the bird in her mouth.
One time while hunting Huns,Emily went on point and I walked in and flushed a covey, shooting two. Emily was still on point and I beat the ground in front of her to no avail. Thinking that there were no more, I tapped Emily on the head to relocate her. Instead of relocating her response was a more intensified point. She was right and I finally flushed and shot single bird. Emily always told the truth.
