Blue - a mountain feist hunting dog.jpg

Shown here is Blue, the columnist’s mountain feist hunting dog.

My past year has been very busy in the dog-training department. I have exceeded my allotted time and budgetary obligations towards the project, and I am starting to second-guess taking on such a large in-house venture.

Well, to be honest, I’ve also kind of enjoyed it. Ask any dog-loving family about the joys and trials of the puppy phase, and I am sure you will hear some wishy-washy language from them as well.
