I have a collection of John Taintor Foote books and while his writing is a bit effusive I do enjoy the easy reading of his books. My favorites are "Dumbell of Brookfield", "Jing" and "Pocono Shot" with "Pocono Shot" topping my list. They are all about bird dogs and were written in the teens or twenties so you have to kinda put yourself in that "twenties" frame of mind. They are not so much about hunting as they are about the people and their associations with these dogs.
