Here's Norman, doing what he does best!

How did he get his big zipper? I hope all is well with Norman.

He had a 10# fatty tumor removed. The vet said if it didn't bother him when he walked then don't worry about. It got too big.

Had to go back thru this whole thread again to see if I put this Gordon and Wirehair in here.

Gordon is owned by Janet Grunbok of Bainbridge Island, Wash.





And the Wirehair owned by Mr and Mrs Joe Proulx of Bend, Ore. This was taken the weekend after Jake won his AKC Fld Ch.

Pointers are fine, but I prefer to hunt over a Springer Spaniel flushing dog rather than a pointer. I like the closer working of the flushing dog, it seems like more of an equal partnership to me than following a far-ranging pointer.

Here's a couple of Springer pics I happen to have handy:


This is Pipe, my dog's sire, AFC and all that, out of Lighthouse Kennels in Wisconsin.





This is Riley, my current and fourth Springer. He's not the biggest dog I've had, nor the smartest, nor the fastest, but overall he's the best Springer I've ever hunted over.

Louie the GSP and Tramp the Griffon, great dogs, both of them!
