Garry mentioned Frank Jezioro's latest article about starting a young pup in the latest Pointing Dog Journal.Frank had two of his 3 setters die young last year. I was hoping to get a female pup out of Daisy if Frank bred her to his male Bo. Frank had been given Bo by my good friend and hunting partner Mike Weeks. Bo came from Mikes female Peach, a dog that I had given to Mike from my last litter. My 2 setters Willie and Doodle were litter mates to Peach, and Fancy is their dam. I had fussed over Daisey when I ran into Frank at a mutual grouse cover late October, too warm to hunted we had some lunch and ice tea. At 81, Frank still covers the ground in the grouse woods, and can wipe many an eye on the sporting clays range.
I guess I went the long way around to say I think any pup(setter of course) would be blessed to have you Dean, as it's master.
