I am not sure what "force fetch" is, but she has the natural instinct to retrive, even when she was a pup. She struggles with large birds a bit like a pheasant or blue grouse, but gets the job done well enough for me. It is really funny, she will often find the bird, point it, locate it when I knock it down, but then only bring it back half way to me. It is almost like, "OK, I have done my part now you have to meet me half way on this deal". I can handle that. She does all the hard parts, finding, holding the bird and getting it after it is down. I almost believe she is thinking, "hey, this bird is dead. I want to find another live one". She really likes the birds that are putting up a fight. Those she brings back all the way. They really get her wired. Mr. J.
