LBK- That sure is a beautiful dog you have. She sounds like she is a keeper.
Rod-I have a book written by Corey Ford, "The Trickiest Thing in Feathers." Another is, "The Best of Corey Ford" This book follows the escapades of the "Lower Forty" group. Both are excellent reading.
Another good read for anyone who loves bird hunting and gun dogs is "Jenny Willow" by Mike Gaddis.
Does anyone remember Gene Hill's "Hill Country" in Field and Stream?
Yep, pull up a chair and pass Uncle Perk's jug of "Old Stump Blower" and let the tales of the Lower Forty begin!
Another old writer who captured the spirit of upland hunting was Havilah Babcock. His book "My Health is Better in November" is one of my all time favorites.
If you haven't yet, dig up a copy of Ned Smith's "Gone for the Day". He wrote/illustrated for the "Pennsylvania Game News" for many years and was a kind soul who captured the essence of the outdoors with simple but eloquent prose.
