As some of you may remember I do most AKC show stuff. It was my pleasure this past week to work a young golden pup that I co-own in the field. At seven months old, having been introduced to gunshot correctly, then birds in a controlled environment we took him out to the field. "Nismo" did an awesome job, and put the few local trainers that told me goldens were no better than "swamp collies" in the dog house! I'll get some pictures this week. Also, he showed this weekend and won is large 6-9 month puppy class. Form AND function.:!:

"Swamp Collies"

Congrats on your Golden but I've always thought
"swamp collie" was a derogatory name for GSD's

I've always been told it started because collies were so over (and for the wrong reasons) bred they became useless as herding dogs, and impossible to train with no instinct. Goldens are commonly called "swamp collies" because many are fear biters (WAY to many) and if you put any pressure on them they come "up the leash" few have any instinct, the breeders are breeding awful fluffy coats because they are pretty- making them basically useless in the field. Swamp collies... useless bird dogs.
