More: Both dogs are active working dogs that work independently or as a team. When working as a team Cobie will walk at heal while Rue works 20 to 50 yards in front of us searching for upland game. Once located Cobie is released in anticipation of the flush. When working independently Cobie is a master of the wetlands for waterfowl while Rue rules the roost in the upland field. They are a true testament to finding and preserving game.
