sweet dog!

I've been blessed to have had a few good dogs.

All these outdoorsy pics made me tired.

I am surprised the USFWS, EPA, or some other alphabet agency didn't have have a slobberin duck fit when you brought this fellow home and try to send you to federal prison or something.

Cross,

I'll keep ys in mind when I breed her again. Just passed a heat on her in early summer. Hopefully find her a suitor here soon. have a couple in mind, just want to check them both out a little more.

Ouch! glad to hear she wasn't hurt any worse. Coons can be hell on dogs, even good sized ones.

When my Dad had his first small garage, a lady brought her car in. She lived only a few blocks away, so he gave her a ride back home in her car, then drove it back to the shop. He jacked it up, got on a creeper and rolled under the rear axle, and found a raccoon sitting on top of the differential. The coon was not amused.

Dad calls the lady: "ma'am, do you have a pet coon?"
Lady: "Huh???What??"
Dad: "a raccoon, I found one in your car, on top of the axle."

silence

Lady: "I definitely do not have a pet raccoon, but I will ask the neighbors"

She called back after a while, and none of her neighbors had one, nor knew anyone else who had one. She lived in the middle of a town of 100,000, and raccoons were definitely not common.

Dad & my brother eventually put on heavy leather welding gloves, (which it could bite through) caught it and stowed it in an empty drum, then that night took it outside town and turned it loose. It was not the tiniest bit tame

coons,...
They're somewhat rare in this immediate area, more common down along the san Pedro river, and in the Huachucas. This was Gracey's first encounter with one, and my bet is that should she tree another she'll not be quite so inclined to join in battle.

I figured it was the neighbor's cat, or a Squirrel.

That crummy old scope's coming off the "Garden Gun" and I'm mounting a red dot setup,....I reckon that will be a lot handier around this place, where one's almost always shooting into shadows and thick cover,....

My little schipperkee buddy Petey.

Etta, the ultimate fish dog!

Now this, is a good fuggin' dog story.

Our three dogs. We have a 2.5y old roan coat GSP - Gertie that we took in as a rescue. We have 3 year old male GSP - Dillon and a 2 year old Lab / GSP / perhaps pit mix Ruby that was also a rescue.



They absolutely LOVE water



Dillon will retrieve anything and loves water retrieval. Sometimes he doesn't seem to think about the fact that shorthairs get cold! This water was quite chilly and I had to wrap him up tightly afterwards.



Crazy boy loves to chase bubbles.



Did I mention they love water and the boat?

He is very protective of home and family. Vermin and snakes don't stand a chance either.

Buzz, that looks like the firetower on the AT above Nantahala Gorge.
Cool dogs!

This is my Bowi on point on a Sharptail.

I got him as a return to the breeder, because he was unmanageable. Which was hooey, he was quite manageable, as long as he got to go to the farm everyday, and run his fool head off for a couple of hours, dig out a dozen or so gophers, and run off a couple of feral cats and such.

The only dog I've ever hunted over that would pin down a pheasant with a point at 6 feet, a covey of sharptails at 30 yards, and a covey of huns at 40 yards, all on the same day. He just knew what kind of bird he smelled, and what it took to hold them.

Lost him 4 years ago at age 6 to cancer. I still miss him, sorely. I have his son, but he's not his father. I now have his grand daughter, too, from a different dam, and I have high hopes.

Thank you all for this wonderful thread !

.....what a magnificent dog was Bowi !
