By the dozens, Northwoods Bird Dogs have recently been afield across the country. No matter the age of the dog—whether young puppies whelped this year or experienced older dogs—many birds were pointed, retrieved and bagged. The photographs below are filled with blaze orange, big smiles and tired dogs.
