New Avatar - Olga's Grace of Coronation

[Dean Romig]

I see this beautiful face every hour of almost every day so I thought I would share her with you all.

She just turned four on June 5.

She comes from the Twombly Setter line started in 1925 by Earl Twombly in Vermont.

Earl's dogs won several prizes at the Boston Sportsmen's Show in the 40's and 50's and I am very lucky to have a setter from the Twombly lineage.

Grace is the most wonderful dog I have ever been owned by.

She is a very gracious hostess too.

Oops just noticed your new Avatar in another post and commented and then saw this thread. The smaller picture in signature makes that dog look more older and wiser than she is, nonetheless its a captivating glamour shot for us dog lovers.

She's just coming back into full feather after the demands of a litter of pups this winter.

Great to see you and the pups loved seeing Grace:bigbye:

Dean, what was the source of your previous woodcock avatar?

[Dean Romig]

It was from a painting by Lynn Bogue Hunt. I plan on using it again after Grace rewards me with a few woodcock points this fall.

I'm not certain but I may have taken it from the book "Upland Game Shooting" by H.L. Betton which was illustrated by LBH.

Beautiful Setter. Nothing quite like them...close, but not quite.

[George M. Purtill]

She has a lovely disposition. Like Kathy. Dean not so much.

[Dean Romig]

I can't disagree with that George.

Dean,

I am sure you know how lucky a man is to be “owned” by a dog. Time moves so quickly — enjoy your girl every minute you have her. She is a beautiful dog.
