Introducing .... Jack. He's a 12-week-old British blue blood that cost me a small fortune. He's extremely good-natured and will begin pre-K in about a week or so. I can't wait to hit the pheasant fields with him next year. Of course, my daughter thinks he's hers and has made a space for him at the foot of her bed. I love it!<P> <P>Rick<BR>

Nice dog Rick! I've always thought Springers were great dogs, especially for my neck of the woods. Ever do any hunting out near Blythe, etc?<P>Dan

OK, OK, Rick! You have pushed me into this! You have really great looking dogs, and justifiably proud of them. Soooooo, I guess I have to get a photo of my coyote dog and get it online. His name is Fluffy. He is a small unknown breed, has a pug face, and long white hair. He just sits out in front of me while I call for coyotes, moving just enough to get their attention, and when the coyote comes in to investigate (and offer me an easy shot), sometimes I believe he tries to smile. Fluffy must have complete confidence in me, as he shows no fear at all. I'll get a photo and post it soon.<p>[This message has been edited by Critr Gitr (edited November 09, 2000).]

Good looking pup Rick. What breeding is the dog from and where did you get him from?<P>I suppose I could introduce myself!! My name is David and I live in Nebraska. I currently have 2 field bred ESS's in which I hunt, test, and trial them. I was pleasantly suprised when I found this web site and read posts from people that actually have ESS's.<P>Looking forward to reading more about your hunting with your great little dogs.<P><BR>David

Hey, pretty little pup! I am also interested in hearing about the breeding. Have you always owned Springers (it looks like it)? I am considering a dog, and have been thinking mainly about a pointing breed (GSP or Britt), but I recently hunted behind a flushing Lab and had a blast. I bet a Springer would be even better! <P>Teach

OK, guys and gals. As promised, here's Fluffy, the coyote killer! (If you missed the description of his field performance, go back and read my post earlier today.) <BR>Actually, I don't know much about gun-dog blood lines, but somehow I doubt that Fluffy's pedigree compares to Rick's new pup. <BR> [img] http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=1305003&a=9758335&p=32722519&Sequence=2[/img] <BR>

LOL, LOL, LOL!!<P>Oh, that's too much. I can just see poor little Fluffy screaming "Please shoot! Hurry! They wanna EAT me ... SHOOT already!" LOLRAOF<P>(Momentary pause to wipe the tears)<P>Hey Springer, welcome. It's real good to have you. Jack is a British dog from Ian Openshaw's Rytex lines. The dam was bred in the UK and imported with a bellyful of pups. I really liked the pedigree, and was assured it is "superb" by my local spaniel guru (Pat Callahan at Gameland Kennels in Corona, CA). Here's a link to his pedigree:<BR> <A HREF="http://www.citarikennel.com/BreacGemmaPedigree.htm" TARGET=_blank>http://www.citarikennel.com/BreacGemmaPedigree.htm</A> <P>I sure would like your take!<P>Also, I received the summer issue of "Spaniels in the Field" magazine and there is a big article on Openshaw and the Rytex lines. Turns out that three or four of Jack's ancestors are pictured in "jolly good Ingland" with Openshaw. I thought that was pretty cool ... I mean, how often does that happen?<P>Hey Teacher. Actually, this is my first ESS, though I've been hunting over one for a few years. Jason (seen in some other threads) is actually my uncle Luis' dog, and he's the reason I went with a Springer. I used to run GSP's (John Merrel dogs, Bakersfield, CA), but have come to the conclusion that a flushing dog works better for my kinda hunting.<P>It would be an understatement to say that I am tickled with Jack.<P>OK ... and with Fluffy! <P>Thanks all.<P>Rick <p>[This message has been edited by RickBin (edited November 10, 2000).]
