Great pictures Dean, they are some cute pups. When I was looking at them I noticed your "I'm a Setter man" salutation and boy, did that bring back memories.
When I was a young boy back in the mid 50's, my dad would stop in Vowinckel Pennsylvania to have something to eat at the Hotel there. It was a bar really, and it had all kinds of animal mounts on the walls which would fascinate any child. One that my dad would use to get me going was a Jackalope; a rabbit with antelope horns. But, the memory that stands out the most was my confusion when I went to use their restroom. As a small boy, I knew nothing about identifying one bread of dog from another. So, when I got to the restroom door, I didn't know what to do. You see, on the two doors the men and woman text was not posted, only a picture of a dog. Each door had a painting of a dog; now I know that one was a Setter and the other was a Pointer, but back then I was puzzled as to their meaning. I drove by there about ten years ago and I just had to stop. It hadn't changed in over 50 years. |

I am sure they will be loved and spoiled none the less having only been on the receiving end of puppy day - I don't know how you do it. I got this print at an antique show- I sold it here on the board because my wife said it was too sad for her to look at ![]()

a happier one- this is the first Edmund Osthaus I bought -its a big one - an "original" print dated 1890 something- i'd have to look again
this print is how Old Hemlock Osthaus got his name- my daughter and I were on our way out the door for that puppy day - and I had not come up with a name- she looked at the print hanging over her baby grand and said - lets call him Osthaus - and so he was its a poor image through the old glass

I would love to have that picture.
Grace won't have such 'projected' emotions, and most dogs won't. They're usually glad when the pups are gone... but it's a beautiful picture none the less. .
