Good points have been made. Also how often have you been out hunting with your pooch. Some guys figure that its hunting season, and rover should be up to speed and ready to go. Unfortunately a dog who is huffing and puffing and out of shape is going to have a tough go of it. That is where it makes sense to work the cover over slowly, to give the dog a chance to lock in on the pheasants And as far as distance covered if a guy walks 10 km, the dog can easily be doing three to four times that distance.
