I have had two. Got them both from Sal Curci of Hilltop Kennels in Ca. Dotti was the first one and she was nickname Dotti the wonder dog as she accounted for a lot of pheasants and huns and chucker's in Idaho and hundreds of quail in CA. On one occasion Bring Crosby was hunting the same ranch as me and came over and said what a fine dogs she was. Then Sal gave me another shorthair named Blazer as he was a bit to control but he also turned out to be and excepional hunter with a lot of style. Sal told me that no man deserved two dogs like these in one lifetime. These two were part of our family and had free reign in the house. Advance age is the only thing keeping me from having another one.
