I have found this description/perspective to be very helpful.

I am first time CBR owner. I found the book "the 10 minute retriever" by the Dahls to very helpful. In the book the Dahl's point out Chessie traits that have been eye opening as I am ex lab guy.

TN Lab... i have recently moved to Chattanooga and joined East Tn Retriever Club. (their core area seems to be 1-2 hours north of Chattanooga.) Is their another club more local. formal or informal....

Thanks Gregg. Much appreciated!

Gregg,
I am up in Chattanooga, which is a Desert for pigeons. If your supplier has ample quantities I would take a drive for those $3.50 pigeons. Driving would be easier....So far I have over $350...
