The collecting world and trial world are closely tied. IMHO the upland sport would be nothing without our dogs or our doubles. Walking the field watching dogs work allows all of us to connect to friends, family and God and nothing brings us closer. My love of double guns and Parker's in particular came from my grandfather. He was all to me and at the time of my youth was bigger than life. A lifelong pointer guy he kept a kennel of some of the finest gun and trial dogs ( 72 strong at one time) in the Mid Atlantic area. I cut my teeth on feeding, roading and caring for dogs and horses and was able to work and share in the breaking responsibilities of both when I got a little older. My grandfather shot Parker's and taught me early on that these guns represented quality and the double gun was a gentleman's gun when so many were going the route of the auto or pump. Ames brings us home.
