Thread: Dogs!

Love Goldens. One son had one for 16 years. You'd swear he knew what you were thinking. If you sat on the stoop he'd come sit next to you and lean on you like an old friend.

Ok I,ll bet you no one knew that I would have such a ferocious bad assed dog but here she is, more heart than all the dogs I've ever had

This is a great thread!

My two, a Gordon and English Setter .. both Field bred.



Here's the little English running the Adirondack Big Woods at high speed in search of the elusive Ruffed Grouse...

Great coloring on that English! Loved me our Setters when I was a boy.
TC, she has the same goatee as you, but with less salt!

Good looking dogs men.

Yes, love that Yorkie of TC's.
When my wife's friend used to travel, I'd sit her Yorkie in her home. I loved little Georgie like my own, but he was a tough little dog!

Anyway, here's a pic of my English Setter's Daddy. He was hardheaded like his daughter, but Luke Eisenhart managed a good year on him. Took him to a Championship. Here is Ultimate Reissue with Breeder George Ekdahl and Handler Luke Eisenhart ..

Down in a shore today. No nicer than wet dogs full of sand

Druid which class do you run your pointers in, shoot to retrieve , or all age? If your into the pointers, I live 40 miles from the Ames plantation, in February I usually go watch them run the national championship for all age. Beautiful to watch. Tc

TC, They're Setters, and I've never run in the big leagues. Between horses, trailers, lodging and all the other accoutrements, it's a sport for those more well heeled than my good self. STR is not my bag .. If I get a dog to retrieve, it'll be in the other direction! Local trials and good old fashioned shoe leather hunting for me! My dogs may not be perfect, but that's my fault, not theirs. The genes were there, but I know what it takes to finish a dog, and there are times I'll take a fault or two rather that try to polish a diamond! The horseback guys like a dog that runs over the horizon, out of sight, hence the tracking devices. If you've got a dog that will hold point and pin a bird for great lengths of time, all is good .. If not, you're just feeding the kitty!

Anyway, I love my dogs, and we've harvested our share of birds, and had great times together. Besides, my dogs sleep on the bed, the All-Age dogs sleep in plywood boxes in kennels. I've got friends that have Championships in the Big leagues, but it's not for me ... or my dogs!

Tc, it's those little ones ya gotta look out for. Great dog!
So sorry to hear about Bretagne, the search & rescue dog.
