My tiny English Setter, Skitso --



For over a decade she did the high tail, but this season at thirteen and a half she has decided she doesn't have to --



Unseen in this picture, there is a large coulee between us and those trees in the background which is where Cock John fell and she made a hell of a retrieve getting down in there and coming back with the bird.

Dave, same thing happened to my setters once they got older, pointed with much lower tail.

If I may be so bold as to make such a proclamation on her behalf, I would say that after nearly thirteen years of service..Skitso has well earned every right to stand with her tail at half mast along with every other bird dog who has blessed their owners with the gift of their loyalty and good times in the field!

Here's to Skitso

Thanks Dean. I entered him in the pointing dog class and he bested 20 or so other setters and pointers. He is the second pointing lab I've had the pleasure to hunt with and in these trials, as it is in the field, his labrador retrieving abilities makes all the difference in the final bag and the final score.
The gun is my VHE 20, the first 20 I bought in 1971. I traded a friend of mine a 12ga. Superposed even up which I paid $400 for. I got my monies worth out of that deal.

Taken this past Sunday. My 14 month old Lew Sophie and my 7 year old Golden. Sophie finds them and Gracie bats cleanup. The gun is a restocked Fox Sterly 20 gauge ejector:

Here's one of my hounds, Fina, with the day's take in Maine last season.

I'd like to hear your thoughts on shooting snowshoes while hunting with a bird dog.

How does your dog act?

How does shooting rabbits in his presence affect his bird hunting?

If there are no ill effects I would say you have one exceptional bird dog.
