It is. I always found it odd as neither were dog men, nor gun guys. My Dad stopped hunting before I was born, and only owned two firearms, a Marlin .32 Winchester Special and a Remington Model 1100 Trap Gun that I bought him as a birthday gift while I was in the Navy. My youngest son now owns the Trap Gun.
My Mom used to say that I got my "gun thing" from her Dad. He died in 1945 so I never met him, but my Mom told me that he enjoyed bird hunting and always kept an Irish Setter around.
