My house currently looks like a rescue center. I have a 7 year old mut, a 2 year old lab, a 1 year old bulldog and a 9 year old boxer. My mut I got back in college and is, far and away one of the best dogs a man could ask for. He is smart, protective, playful etc. He does great out in the woods, explores on his own but knows when to check up and check in, doesnt chase rabbits etc. My fiance, 6 year old little girl and him went to the dog park last week. While they were letting the dogs off of the leashes in a small, fenced in enclosure, a pitbull ran up to the fence barking and looking nasty. Without a hesitation, he stepped between my girls and the dog and squared off with the pit bull. The pit backed down, they went inside and fun was had by all. The other dog is my yellow lab Charlie, he is a great dog and I have never seen a dog love his master as much as this one does!

Ive had two yellow labs. My first one, Belle, had to be put down a couple years ago. Miss her bad. My current one, Jaeger, will be 3 in May. He is my best buddy. Goes everywhere with me, sleeps with me, lays on the couch with me, everything. Already dreading the day he is gone.

Deertracker, feel free to post more pix of Jaeger, hes a handsome boy! Heres my bulldog, fiance and little girl, the night after we got engaged. Breaking the rules, playing fetch in the house. Our first trip out together, a little challenge howl to this coyote who could for sure see us brought him in, thinking my then a pup Lab was challenging him.

Looking at the Lab photo's in here almost makes me want to take up duck hunting again just to justify getting a lab. But I've had pointing dogs a lot of years now. This is Bodie This is Squirt This is Bodie in front and Squirt behind.

Nice looking dogs Woody! We are currently waiting and hoping to hear the pitter patter of little feet as a result of the breeding of these two... The Prospective Mother... The Prospective Father... Doing a " Bark and Hold"... We should know in a few weeks if the mating "took"...

Great pics guys.
I'm surprised it took 7 pages to get to the first English Setter.
Back when PA had some birds to hunt, I owned 3 Setters over the years and they were great dogs.
Always wanted a Gordon Setter, but probably won't happen at this stage of my life.

Those "pocket rocket" English Cockers are just flat out cool and will win your heart with theirs. Let them know what you want with a soft hand and they will go to hell for you. Looking for another to bud up with Toby. However, not sure if my heart can stand that much fun.

Yes, and not only the ANF but also the entire Northern tier of the State. Birds can often be bunched up and in that big country you can pass them by, but then sometimes you don't.
Not unusual to get 15 to 25 flushes a day when things are going right. Not always, but often enough to make it worth having a Dog. The ANF has thousands of acres of multiple age clear cuts that are getting better with each year. Marcellus gas roads have opened up miles of edge cover.
Have also crossed paths with Bucks that will take your breath away. They are rare and it would not necessarily be my first choice to see Deer, but there are hogs in that country.
