Looking for input from someone who has had or experienced both breeds .

First hunting dog, and yes I have smaller children but an avid upland family. More so looking to here about traits. I have had a wonderful experience with the Cesky Fousek of North America club, so much support. I do prefer a larger dog though, and the Cesky’s seem a little on the smaller side or it could have just been the fact that I only have seen females in person.

Still so torn and undecided.

Anyone have battery issues with the Garmin PT10? We’ve had the collar for three years this coming October, and the battery does not last long at all anymore, and when I go to charge it, it goes from red to yellow. Never reaches green. Has anyone sent the collar back to Garmin for a battery replacement? Do they even do that? What was the cost? I’m in Canada and the cost of a new collar is $220.

Somehow my dog was exposed to a drone flying overhead while out for a walk, caused him to panic and jump into my arms absolutely terrified. Now he is quite prone to always looking up and freaking out when he sees something in the air including birds. You see my issue here, what can i do to resolve this issue to get back to my bird dog being calm and stable.
