As they say " Now the rest of the story" Last January Bruce invited me to Kansas for a pheasant and quail hunt. Now mind you I had never met Bruce in person, My girl friend (Noel) thought I was nuts driving halfway across the country to go hunting with perfect strangers. When I arrived Bruce informed me he was a pointer man! He had on Pointer jeans, a pointer jean jacket and a bonified pointer named Shortstop. He then informed he he had never had good luck with them longhaired dogs. At that point I went on the defense, I explained to Bruce that I had only hunted Grouse with them and was unsure of there performance on pheasants and quail. That night as I lay in bed, Noel's question of my judgement came into play. The next morning Bruce let Shortstop out of his Kennel, and it became obvious that he also moonlighted as a attack dog. We loaded up and went hunting. At the end of the 4 day hunt Bruce said " Them dogs did better then I expected. Maybe those where not his exact words, but close. We later met up at Pheasant fest in Wisconsin where Bruce purchased his newest family member. Who says you can't teach old Dogs anything!
