Anyone else have a retriever on a Parker? Do we think that the dog on the #2 buttplate is a retriever? I always have thought so.

Bill- why dont you add a few photos for the thread?

Dean I think it's a 1905 gun, I got a letter on a couple years ago and yes it will be at the New Years shoot.

Bill, Looks like a Lab. But he looks to be sneeking up on something. Do Labs sneek? I guess he looks like he could be pointing as well. Suppose they could point? Only upland hunted with a couple, so my opion is not the best. But I know its agraviting when no answers you question.

Calvin,

My faithful Chesador both points and sneaks up on game. My dog points until a bird starts to run then he flushes. He will also sneak up on game by lowering his body a couple inches and taking a step and pausing. During this sneak his face has a very serious look about it. Anyway, he steps, pauses, steps, and so on.

I've never hunted behind a real pointing lab but will certainly consider one for my next faithful friend.

We can learn a lot from our dogs...

Mark :)

Stranger Dogs
 

Most who know me, know that I also have a real weakness for Lefevers. Here are a couple of my favorite Lefever puppies.

These two have been seen in one of my DGJ articles.
