This is Danny Suponski with his first ever ruffed grouse that was pointed at about 25 yards. There were three grouse together in a cover of old apple trees and heavy ground cover. we walked in over Grace and the birds went up. One peeled to the right, one went straight ahead and the third peeled high and left out beyond Danny. Shots were fired in all directions but Danny was the only one who connected. His bird was hit hard and went down hard but it wasn't dead. Danny and I went down the slope to where the bird went down. Suddenly a grouse flushed from about that spot and we stood there slack-jawed that his bird had taken wing after being knocked down. Oh well... that's the way it goes sometimes. We turned to walk back and join Dave and Jamie but Grace was not with us. We looked back downslope and there she was pointing where the bird had just flushed from. I called her, thinking she was picking up the scent from the departed bird but she wouldn't budge. Hmmm... we started back down to her but then she pounced on the spot and came up with Danny's first grouse... Well Done! - to both of you!!



The second picture is after she cut her rear pad on ice in the woods in January on an exercise and training mission.

Some great pics coming out of the woodwork - keep ‘em coming - shameless brags welcome

Homage to dogs past is nice

Speaking of cherished firsts..here’s a shot of my very first bird dog on a wild Washington covey about twenty-six years ago - just as well have been yesterday

My girlfriend took the picture

Second picture is that same gal requesting delivery to hand from his great great nephew just a couple years ago

Dean didn't anyone tell you that exercise is a bad idea for both man and dog???

Scott you have some very nice GSP's....my favorite breed. I'd like to find a started dog to give Daisy some help. I will end up in the dog house when that happens

Unfortunately I lost many pictures due to a computer problem. Here is one I salvaged of my oldest setter Trapper. He was one heck of a grouse dog with many hundreds of points to his credit. I shot birds over him in 7 states and one Canadian Provence. Sadly I lost him 2 weeks ago after 15 years of loyal friendship.

Gary I'm sorry to hear of Trapper's passing. It's the one truly downside of being owned by a dog. We have all been there at least once and some of us multiple times and we would all do it again for the love of a dog.
