   On the subject of hunting, I have to ask
   
   Just what the heck is going on here?
   google has turned up a lot of people sharing this video, but very little explanation. Is this something people really do, or is this just a fake?

     I wonder if that’s from Africa Addio, an Italian film, that had tons of staged “savage” hunting scenes in it.

   A beautiful dog that is being used in wildlife conservation activities as well.

   Boykins seem to be the American equivalent to the British working spaniels. Would this be called ” convergent evolution”? ;-). (though it is quite
   possible that both have much the same ancestry.).

     They almost remind me of SOME photos I’ve seen of English water spaniels:
