With so…

The property looked great.  It featured a couple of hilly areas, and a couple of really long fields.  With the fields being in the middle of the property, I was thinking that this would a natural grazing…

Humans have a long history of hunting with dogs as their instincts are very helpful in the field. Some dog breeds, for example, are great at retrieving, while others specialize in waterfowl hunting.
