Are You Healthier If You Own A (Hunting) Dog?

The benefit of having a hunting dog in the field is obvious to bird hunters. There are also hidden benefits to owning a dog, any kind of dog. We likely know these benefits subconsciously.

Big Game Hunting

Industrial Strength Grouse

The grouse of my country do not come with a history or a mythology.
