This is an easy one for me. Gunner with the Parker I had custom built in his honor. The last photo was one of his last hunts and he was to busy trailing a Pheasant to stop and be photogenic. He is truly missed.

Here is Radar in his younger days on the Chesapeake Bay.

This is Aspen last fall. Next to her is a 16 gauge W&C Scott and Son Premier Grade.

This is Radar and me in 2007. The location was a North Dakota corn field...

There is nothing in this world like a Labrador Retriever. I raised them for ten years and had seven of my own. Each one was exceptional in their own right and all were devoted to their owner and loved dearly and sorely missed.

I've had a grand run with this tiny English Setter since I got her in 2005 --

She was still hunting hard at the end of this season, but will turn 13 before next season starts.

Miss mary, (wife of over 50 Yrs.) and my best dogs ever. These two old dogs have been gone a few years, but not forgotten. they were my best dogs ever. My son Chris has had some very good dogs since these two.

The black dog was out of Eddie Bauer's "Paha Sapa's Kennel. The Old Setter was a direct son of Grouse ridge Will, he came from the east coast. The Setter needed a psychiatrist, but he was a bird dog… the black dog was rock solid with any game that you chose to hunt.

A real shotgunner May forget some of the details of long ago hunt,, but he never forgets the good dog work. or the dog.

Here is Crazy Daisy, she has two speeds flat out and a dead stop. I'd put her up against any dog, a great nose, determination, endless drive and stamina. It's hard to believe she is 10 already. Where do the seasons go?

don t have a picture of my dads german short hair female she was the best quail dog and squirl dog i ever hunted with....charlie

Up to this point, I have never let you guys in on my secret weapon in the grouse woods. This is Huck Finn, and he is all dog. He sleeps with his head on my shoulder at night, and takes no guff from my 3 English setters.
