I had a really good Yellow Lab a few weeks ago. Her name is Holly and I had her for 12 yrs. Some idiot ex son in law had his drawers knotted up and backed over her in my drive way. So what does this have to do with Trad. archery? Well, I didn't lose a SINGLE ARROW while I had her. And it wasn't because of anything I trained her to do. She just started finding my missed arrows one day. I have seen dogs hunt shed antlers and such, but as a Traditional archer having a dog that finds an errant arrow is a real plus. And it's just good for you to have a good dog with you. I sure miss that old gal. David
