Dean, my pup is coming out of 2 litters that Alene Levasseur is raising. She's one of the guides at Markover in Ct. I've hunted over her dogs with her and other guides there who have dogs she's bred and raised. I couldn't tell you any more about the breeding lines but I can tell you her setters are a delight to hunt over, very biddable, great conformation, steady to wing and all around make great family dogs. My lady friend has just informed me that the pup will be able to sleep in the same bed but I think I'll draw the line there!! LOL

A word of advice - "You'll never keep them down on the farm after they've seen Paree."

Once they are allowed access to the 'big bed' they'll always try to get back on.... (words of experience) (it ain't so bad after they've been bathed)

My last setter was allowed on the bed when she reached 10 yrs of age. Prior to that she slept on her dog bed at the foot of the bed. i am getting more reasonable as I get older though. LOL

Our dog isn't allowed in the bedroom, let alone on the bed. She doesn't know any differently, and waits patiently for me to come out of the BR in the morning. It does make me mad, tho, when others bring their dogs, and let them sleep on their bed in the guest room.

To get back to barrel weights, The spring 2008 issue of the PP has an article by Dr. Hogan on Deming, quality control and its affect on barrel weights. He also mentions an article by Ron Kirby in the DGJ on a related topic.

Actually it is the summer 2008 for the article not spring. Sorry for the confusion.
