Building a Tradition of Fine Gun Dogs

Sunday, December 14, 2008

We just came back from our annual trip to Kansas. The weather was a bit cold so the birds weren't as active as we would have liked, but the dogs hunted very well. We've added a new addition to our kennel, Cricket. We'll soon be posting about her in the next couple of weeks.

Another successful trip! Tara, Jack and Lady really strutted their stuff and taught Kaline and Scout what a real hunting dog can do. The weather was great, the dogs were right on and the birds were a plenty. We already can't wait to go again next year and see how the new girls perform.

We were given this picture recently by our veterinarian. It is from 1988 and was taken at the then West River Pet Hospital which is now known as Great Lakes Veterinary Complex. From left to right: Kate (4yrs old), Bill and Michael (6yrs old) Jackson. The dogs are, left to right, Rocky and Jodie.
