Yes, I have two of his books in my library. Gun Dogs Afield and How to Win Field Trials.
They have very different personalities that is for sure. My Red Setter is the same with toys. As soon as we give her a new one, the first order of business is to rip the squeaker out of it and then destroy the rest. She is a very quiet and gentle dog with our grandkids. I stopped hunting her because she suffers from periodic bouts of Pancreatitis. Has not had one for a while, but you don't know when or where. She is eight now.
The Gordon is very vocal. Howls like a coonhound when she wants to eat or knows she is going somewhere. She is also gentle, but much physically stronger. You know it when she climbs or jumps in your lap. She will be three end of this month.
Our dogs have always lived in the house with us. Other than the occasional mishap when they are puppies, we have never had a problem.
