Forgot to mention, Rip loved everybody and everything - except cats!

Great pic and memory you have there!

Had to add this one from my recent camp trip ,it's Benny pointing a arctic hare,a small one but he's still a handful ,the dog couldn't see him ,but knew it wasn't a bird and was rolling his head side to side trying to get a look over the ghoul..it was priceless, I blew him down when the hare busted one of these can tear up your dog ...my DD would have absolutely loved the opportunity to tangle but he was home this trip

Beautiful dog Chris, and what a funny bunny! Are they really as big as that one looks?




.

Actually Dean ,they're a bit bigger...when he got on his pins and ran you could really see his size ,although protected here and its a treat to even see one,my brother ate them while out on the land in Labrador ,he tried it twice and they were just too tough ,he used a 3 1/2 10 gauge for his first one ...had to shoot it 4 times ! the second they sniped it from the coast with a .223 the way the local's do it .

We had a great trip,Ben handled his birds well but the heat was brutal 27 celsius,really warm for up here this time of year .

Just curious, is your DD really gritty? If so, where'd you get him from? I've been looking for one bred in the German style (agressive on fur) I've found one guy who honestly breeds them like that, but finding more the better.

Vom willow rock kennels here in Newfoundland ,Ken is my best buddy and a top notch trainer and breeder you won't find any better PM me for contact info
