Nitro’s goose
Goose was a once in a lifetime dog and I was truly privileged to share the bird fields with him. He showed amazing intelligence from the first day we brought him home at eight weeks of age. His ability to learn something completely new with only a few repetitions was unbelievable.
Goose could mark down birds at distances beyond imagination. He would sit on the flush and watch a winged bird until it finally dropped from the sky, then look back over his shoulder at me and wait for his release. It didn’t matter if the bird is across water, over the hill and down in the next draw; when I gave his release you can bet that bird would be coming back with him.
His ability to track a running pheasant was truly a sight to behold. He attacked every retrieve like there was no tomorrow, whether on land or water. I had more offers than I could count from people wanting to purchase Goose after having a chance to hunt with him. He was never for sale at any price, however he is available via artificial insemination to approved females.
