DH dogs

[6pt-Sika]

I realize normal DH engraving had a setter on one side and a pointer on the other . However has anyone seen a DH that had a setter on both sides or a DH that had a pointer on both sides ?

I haven't, but you would be most apt to see that on the earliest DH's that had three dogs, one of which was engraved on the floor plate.

What I meant was same breed on right and left . I would assume you could have asked for that or would that only have happened by mistake ?

I’ve got a couple from 1889 I don’t remmember whether they had a dog on the floor plate or not

2 setters would definitely be more valuable than 2 pointers..

Close, but even bigger. Think Omni-Dog. My dogs think big!

How wide-ranging is the kind of “bird” that motivates the confirmed setter-man?

Here is Burton L. Spiller, in MORE GROUSE FEATHERS, Derrydale Press, 1938:

“…if I owned a thoroughbred setter…I had a mental picture of the only dog that would satisfy me, a silky-haired, snow-white specimen of such ethereal beauty that ladies, especially if they were young and good-looking, would stop and gasp in admiration at the sheer beauty of us both.”

Were Labs ever pictured on a Parker?
