I'm sorry to hear of your loss Fred it's a difficult time thats for sure. Archie is a fine looking dog and can share a kennel with Gunner and Daisy any time. Looks just right to get started on birds this fall.

Nothing like a new pup!! Never a replacement, just a progression. Life's not the same without a dog sharing it with you.
Cheers, Jack

Archie's first bird
Last weekend Archie made his first foray into the MI coverts of Oscoda County and connected. The weather cleared somewhat on Saturday but the woods were still dripping. He found his first grouse in the afternoon, but his shooter failed to do his part. Sunday noon he found his second, though small, with complete success. A few pics: first, Saturday dinner of bacon wrapped woodcock breasts and butterflied backstrap pieces and beans; next, Archie and hs mentor, Pete, bickering on the shore of Muskrat Lake; next, a couple of migrants resting on Muskrat Lake; last is Archie and his new found game.

Losing friends is a sad time. But new friends are fun as well.

Thanks guys for all the kind replies. The pup definitely shows promise but has a long way to go as might be expected. He gets out there and searches with his nose up and down when tracking. His grouse finds were not off real points, but more like a good close working flusher; birdy, hesitation and move. He's supposed to be a pointer. Whoh boy, Steady!
