That country looks like the country where we hunt grouse and woodcock. The Long Gone kennel is right down the road from one of my favorite woodcock coverts. I love my wirehairs, but I will admit that setters are pretty.
Madison was on track to beat her momma’s records and it’s unfortunate that Lymes has claimed another good one especially at the peak of her career. I’m proud to own a young granddaughter of hers.
"These western pointing dogs generally have a special look, as if they know things ordinary field trial champions and woodcock wizards haven't heard of. It is a secretive, conniving look that comes from listening for the soft cackle of chukars from distant rimrock and catching the rising scent of sage hens from far down the deep draws, with pronghorns watching from the ridges." Charles F. Waterman
"Every man lives in the worst and best of times, or so said the poet. Live your shooting now with a gusto. Nastalgia has its place but needn't be all one can enjoy. What we do will be the tradition of the next generation. Let it be a proud inheritance that we pass on, centered in our right to be afield each Autumn, gun in hand and dogs a'runnin'."

Super happy to start the day watching these champion dogs. Lilli Luv and I had some good days this season. Regards to all.
