I'm so glad I stumbled into this thread. Ben is, indeed, a handsome little guy. But the thing that truly impresses me is that he seems like a CALM little guy. In both of your photos, he seems to be asking you: "Okay...what's next". No hyper-activity. No stress. Just a handsome young pup waiting for the opportunity to please you and do your bidding. I've got a hunch this little guy and you will share many, many long and rewarding days afield for many years to come. Sure, he'll goof up from time to time. Be kind and gentle with your corrections. That's all part of the fun of having a wonderful pup like this, and growing him into your hunting buddy. Man.... I just LOVE gun dogs! And I love to work with them when they are "little kids".
Now, all that said, I don't know a lot about Parker guns, but I DO know a lot about dogs and pups, and I like what I am seeing in these two pics. Please do post photos of Ben's development. I really hope you will do that.
