Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I have to agree with this. However, I will say that when it comes to gun dogs and beauty, nothing challenges the supremacy of the English Setter.
What could be a sadder way to end a life than to die having never hunted with great dogs, good friends and your family?

I don't own a Setter but every time I see Don's pics I want one! Those dogs and pics truly are works of art IMO......well done!! Thank you. I love photographing pointing dog's. I was at the Wirehair of Central Oregon Club trial this past weekend and got a shot I might never get again. Dan Hoke, Wash pro, had a dog on point in the call back. Very nice shorthair. First frame was the dog alone pointing. second was Dan flushing and the bird clears the sage and is in the photo too. The last frame, the gunner shoot's the bird, you can see it's legs drop, and Dan and his dog are in that same frame. This past spring I got two Britt's about 30yds off the break away. One was coming right at me. Just as I shot, the other dog came in from my left and both were air borne. I shot the photo and fell back and both dog's went over the sage and landed right next to me. thank you again.

God are those ugly dog's ugly! No need to thank me. lol Who ever got that ugly dog thing started anyway? Funny but guy's that have them seem to take pride in the term ugly dog. Of course if I had one, so would I!

Not setters, but everytime I see setter pics I wonder if I should become a traitor to my breed- Pics from Kansas opener last year- Look closely, 3 shorthairs on point or honoring each other, nice covey of quail got up, took 2 of them out of this covey and 2 out of another large covey earlier in the day- [/quote] Brother in law helping his dog Cain over the fence, he's been hit by the electric fence on the farm one too many times, refuses to cross any fence at all. As you can tell, nobody cut my brother in law any slack for this- Another of several points for the day-

Nothing wrong with a little pointer porn. Nothing can compare to a dog on point.

This is Jake he was my baby, I lost him in a divorce. I still miss him. And after a hard day of hunting there is nothing like kicking back and relaxing in camp.
