I am with you, Ed, I don't even know what a partridge looks like. It must be a bird. But why does he sit in a pear tree? There are no pears nor leaves on the tree in the winter. About the tail chasing, I think your mind wanders a little to the left - or is it the right - or south? Seriously, I have never encouraged tail chasing with my dogs because I have seen some pretty chewed up tails as a result which in very extreme cases need partial amputation of a tail. I love a beautiful GS tail.
