Yep! Especially considering that she spent her whole life in Culver City and Hermosa Beach, CA. That's a city girl.

Now the gun shy dog will take a little fixing. I always start the bird dogs out young with banging on loud stuff and small bore shots. But, it sounds like the dog probably spends most time inside anyway, so what the heck.

At 120 lbs and with the think coat, he hibernates during the summer.
I went through dog handling school on Okinawa and the instructor told us that he thought that floppy eared dogs were less gun shy than erect eared dogs because of the natural muffling on the ears. During training, our GSDs were never very close to us when we fired our weapons. War dogs would be a whole different scenario considering the unanticipated noise of combat, though.
