OK, Here is a real one in training. Ain't she sweet!

Mark,
The modern version. My turd hound in the front. Note the difference in tail position.

Chuck that dog points? I didn't know she pointed. I mean when she cleared all 400 pheasant out of that 160 acres of dry lake bed in 8 minutes it was pretty impressive and all but I didn't know she pointed. I was confused cause she has "Pointer" in her breed name and I expected her to point but after hunting with ya'll I assumed she was a flushing dog. Are you sure that's her? It sort of looks like her but I never saw her still so I am not sure.

Peter I think I have a twin to your Dog (his little brother looks on)

[Chuck Heald]

Mike,
I told that guy I wanted a pointer. He said this dog has a switch on the bellie "Flush" or "Point", it's better than just a pointer. I think it got stuck in the "Flush" position. I noted that a couple days later three of your dogs got their switches tripped over to the "Flush" position too. Musta been some brush they ran over.

[Chuck Heald]

Mike I checked the pedigree again. My dog is an English Flointer. Apparently, they are related to your dogs.

[Mike Shepherd]

Those damn running Kansas pheasants will challenge the training and discipline of a good dog, much less your's. All of these pheasant were pointed by my dogs and held till I flushed them. The gun is a Parker VH 12 with 32" barrels and three inches of stock drop.

I don't know why Parkers don't show up with Brittanys on them?

David,
The resemblance is startling. I know a lot of labs look alike but they could be litter mates. Our little girl is 7 months old now and is a replacement for our poor Cisco who was hit by a Division of Wildlife fish truck last spring. He was only 3.
The pup is Josey and came from California, hence the blonde hair.

Mike,
Brittany's are on Parkers...they're just so short they're hidden by the grass.
Jeeze, I hadn't realized my skill with Photoshop until you posted that pic. :whistle:

How's Joe's leg?

Here is my latest sidekick, Ice the pointing machine. She is in her prime and will be 6 this coming July and rarely bumps any bird I'm after. Ha, I paid a lot more for her than I did for my first AAHE, which ended up being Pug's first high grade Parker many many many years ago. She has been one of my very best investments. I just booted her butt out of bed to take my ticker meds and check my e-mail. Grouse from today and a rooster from last Friday. I also included an older photo of my old timer buddy, Ruddy. He is now in his 14th year and very happy on new pain meds. (translated: expensive) In fact, Richie and I may plant a rooster or two for him in the near future. He has taken to just grabbing them, oh well, at least I don't have to clean the gun and I can't give him hell either as he is deaf as a post, too much time at the wrong end of the smokepole. He screamed like a kid having a tantrum when Ice and I left this morning. All good stuff, then we croak. Oh, check out the sign I ran across up in Vt while chasing Mr. Pat.

Oh Josh; Thank You for the PM, too stupid to figure out how to get reply past my security stuff, so Happy New Year to you and your family. I did give your message to mom about the silver cup, and she said she will give you a call when the time comes.

Sorry if I highjacked this thread.

[Dean Romig]

I like that sign! I think I've seen it but can't remember where in Vermont I saw it (or one just like it). Maybe it's a philosophy that's catching on and there are more than just that one sign in the Vermont countryside.

Where did you see that one Tom?

[Mike Shepherd]

Chuck: Joe's leg is not quite well yet and he is still hobbling around, using it to solicity sympathy, handicap parking tag and all.

Tom that damn Chuck had already hijacked it.

Best,

Mike

Did Joe mooch some roosters from you while doing his best limp and wince?

I think it was Peter and that Weber character that hijacked this thread. Weber doesn't have any 'special powers' outside the kingdom, right? :duck:

I think Mark'll forgive me if I convince him to chase quail this weekend.

[Mike Shepherd]

Different Webers from different states Chuck.

Tomorrow someone else has to look after you.

I am jealous. I haven't killed a wild quail this season.

Best,

Mike

[Tom Kidd]

Hello Dean, The sign was southwest of Echo Lake, VT, somewhere up the sidehill on the east side of the road. How's that for a vague answer to protect my Pat spots. Actually, I don't exactly remember where it was, but the same day I got a photograph of grouse in an apple tree eating buds, just don't know where it is around here.

[Mike Shepherd]

Jent I think it is probably along the lines of this classifed:

Reward: Lost English Pointer with GPS tracking collar. If you return the collar I will give you the Pointer

My dog suggests for points lasting longer than 4 hours, your dogs should seek immediate Veterinary attention.

Jent,
That pic was taken by a pro photographer that visited Hickox when the dog was his. I don't let that dog go out for a crap without a GPS collar, 3 forms of I.D., at least one of which is rivetted to her ear, and the helo warmed up.

Chuck, Here's what a Pointer should look like, at least on a hundred year old Parker. Next is the old dog's successor, sneaky Pete, whose appendage does rise vertically but then moves right (not a bad thing). This tail confusion caused me to move to a German Short Tail.
