The Eurasians are bigger and slower, for sure. Sometimes a miss on M-Doves can not be blamed on the shooter. You pull thru the birds flight line, apply the proper lead, and then suddenly the bird juke-jinks into an entirely different place and direction. I'd have to say, in my opinion, doves are one of the trickiest and most humbling game birds out there. |

That's some fantastic wood!

Quick update. Alley is gone now, and buried in the field that she ran on every morning. My remaining two GSPs have been showing signs of sadness that their big sister did not return, and cannot be found.
Our puppies are gone too soon! |
Todd my condolences

Todd my heart goes out to you. I have two that are 13 and it’s anytime. There best days are behind them. When they go I will sure miss them.
Plenty of memories to keep their spirt alive. Like those that came before them they will be missed, but a new pup will fill the void but not replace them. |
Alley
Todd.... I am very sorry for your heartache and loss.

Condolences ! It isn’t just bird dogs that jerk your heart strings . We’ve had Border Terriers ever since I was a year old so the three that had passed were exhumed bagged and put to rest with my fathers ashes when he was laid to rest . He had said years before that he’d like them with him at the end and to be honest I thought it an excellent idea .

And, as I consider this, if an owner dies before his last gundog it may be harder on the dog than it would be vice-versa. I have seen dogs grieve and lie on their dead owner's grave for days, even weeks, when the owner dies first. There is a bond there that cannot be denied. |
