We had both growing up. My Grandfather was a field trialer and ran all the old pointer bloodlines (Lester's Wahoo,Guardrail, Paladin Sue etc...) Now 50 years later I am running dogs out of these same bloodlines. It is really neat to have that connection back to my Grandfather. I love all breeds of gundogs and have owned all the pointing lines but the pointers really take me home. We will have to get together next fall and partake of the upland life.The female in the upper set of photos with my big male is elhew's little eunice out of snakefoot. She is one of the best grouse dogs I have ever hunted over! below is a couple of pictures of her littermate Traci's male dog "Wallace" which happens to be Rich's adopted birddog. Kansas quail and a mint ghe 28ga with a ball grip.
