Good looking pup. How old is she?

Great looking Gordon! You will find others on the Forum who hunt over this fine breed. I see Ken H. has responded already. Kenny G. is also a frequent contributor and is "owned" by a Gordon.
My wife and I have lived with and hunted over Gordons for nearly 40 years. I would not have another breed (as much as I like bird dogs in general). The Duke of Gordon is an ancestor of mine, so I'd feel somewhat traitorous to have another breed. Thanks for posting!

Our roost is run by 3 Gordon's. We always try and make at least 1 a rescue.

One of our Gordons has been a rescue dog. She was a sweetie, and a good hunter, but since we got her after she was several years old, she had developed some interesting habits that no amount of training could change. She was staunch on point, but her tail would wag incessantly while she stood her birds. Now that she's gone, I must admit, I miss that wagging tail.

I have 2 Gordon’s . I don’t need to post a picture because it would be a carbon copy of the one you posted. They are 3 and 12 and neither one wants me out of sight.
