VERY difficult to not look at this thread for Lord knows how many times!
I certainly have a very soft spot for old dogs and beautiful shotguns. |

I have yet to see Gunner's Gun up close and personal but that is on the bucket list. I also have issues with soft spots. The one in my head has seen some dogs of shotguns find their way home with me and of course a few decent ones. But the one in my heart is reserved for gun dogs (all dogs welcome but there is a special corner for gun dogs).
Cheers, Jack

Jack good to see you here again and I hope all is well. If you can make back to the U.P. I'll be sure to bring Gunner's Gun with me.....or I could come and hunt Pheasant's Daisy loves Pheasants.

Rich. glad this threat was revised again.. Great gun, for a great dog I am sure. I had a very special Lab in the "80's that lived to be 16........so I know what a very special dog is. That is a beautiful tribute to a very special dog.................Steve

"I want to be the kind of person my dog thinks I am."
What a wonderful tribute to your precious fur person. Congratulations to you and gunner. A VH is just a VH -- but this wonderful Parker was lucky enough to be chosen to make a perfect canvas for your GG, which is now a truly unique and perfect gem. The wood, engraving and checking are magnificent. I hope gunner will be able to enjoy this jewel with you in the field for many more hunts. Richard |

Thank you Richard for the kind words. Gunner is pictured in my Avatar with his gun. Unfortunately he passed away the day before bird season opened.

I have to open this thread again to state that my famous Wirehair, Eva, famous from side by side shoots, is alive and well and will be 12 in October. She is very athletic, 55 pounds, and waiting to visit at the Vintagers next month. I hope my good friend, Anderson, will visit with his latest pup.
