Anyone have any good setter porn? I can't get enough of a good looking bird dog on point. If you got some please post them. Thanks Bob

Not a setter and not on point but a good day of grouse hunting on Sunday.

Matter of fact, I do! (x2)
Lost in divorce 3 years ago and sorely missed every day...still..
Gawd, I want a dog!

Beautiful setters Don. What breeder did you get them from?

They are Tekoa Mt/Smith breeding. Got them from a guy in Bend.

Good looking Gordon's!

Thanks, I love it.

Beautiful dogs, guys.
If there was any kind if upland hunting around here, im sure i would own some kind of pointer.
Sadly, no.

Thanks. They were brought back from Germany. French/German lines mostly.
If I had the chance, I wouldn't hesitate going over and getting another. Hard to explain, but the breed seems a bit different there.

Did someone ask for pictures of setters?

Seattle------Great looking setters. I love those last 4 photos.


Splatter------We've got blues up in the San Juans outside Durango & Pagosa.

Seattle, that Black headed dog has some kind of tail!!! Looks like God is pulling on it... straight like an arrow and nearly vertical!

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!!

Buddy on Point at 5 weeks...

Not Happy! The quail flew off.

Not a setter but a pointig fool. Don't you just hate roosting birds.

With all those beautiful dogs time for a some versatile ugly dog pics

Sadie says...Hey! I resemble that remark.

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.

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-

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-

Styling and profiling. Emilee's Rawhide Jake, a.k.a the Jackal.

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.

I could take losing the Mrs.---- but never my bird dog.

Stinkin ole hound, but he likes the gun too!

Beagle/Blue Tick? He looks like he takes it seriously too.

My late goofy looking Llewellin, Gus. He never grew into his head, but he was all Class.

He is a bluetick beagle.

Now...I like that dog. He has a serious varmity eye.

A few pics of my pride and joy. best dam shorthair ever. Unfortunitly I lost her to cancer. I miss her every day.





And a pic of her and her younger sister.

I try and not think about him too much, I still get misty eyed when I do. She can go to hell!

Here's a friend's dog, Gertie.

You must have been married to my ex-wife! My Hannah lived 16yrs and I wasn't ready to let her go. I still can't let her go. She's burried by the greenhouse and that's where my ashes will be.

The new pup

My buddy Pete.

Don't know what to say. There are some dang fine bird dogs here. Gus was a dandy settler, sorry Bruce you had to put him down. Gertie is all class. Montana---that's a good looking pointer & that pup has the look of promise. The poodle was just amazing----from beavers to pheasants. Those German short hairs are dang good looking too.

Blaze's first real hunt. 1.5 yr old French Brittany. Found 2 pheasants for me today. Unfortunately I missed the first, and the second flushed into the brush and trees... Tomorrow I should have some pheasant pics to go along with these...

Nice looking pup.

My Lucy girl with MN opener limit.


As a versatile dog, she also loves to tree squirrels and bay at them for me, then retrieve them as well.


And she started out like this three years ago...

My 9th month old lab Olive with her first bird taken with my 99 year old Remington model 11.

This is my young male Lab.... Ackley

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!

Battue,

Is that a Boykin in your top pics? If so, where's he from. I'm considering buying one...

No, Toby is an English Cocker. So was the other black Dog.

Boykins are cool, but choose your litter carefully for a strong hunting background.

Now that's my kinda dog!

Sally (Mtn Cur)


Sophie, Sally, Pete


Sophie and Sally after a good cat chase.
Sophie don't say much at the tree, but she does what she can and having another dog along helps keep em up till I can get there.


Pete's old and only interested in birds and treeing Squirrel here on the property.

Great pics FieldGrade.

Thanks add

The first and third pix were from one of our annual rimfire only spring time, gofer safari/fly fishing/camping trips up above the Salmon on the Red River.
The dogs enjoy sunbathing and playing after a long winter, and I get in a little fishing, gofer shooting, reading, and napping. I especially like the napping part.

Here's a couple more pix of my camp.

Fish in the Red about 20yrds from camp.


Plenty of wildlife viewing.


There's even a built in Gofer shooting bench. What's not to like?

Not setters but they are pointing.

Here are a couple pictures of two most precious things. My three year old daughter and my shorthair Jaegar.

Jaegar with his first grouse and woodcock at 5 months.





This is him @ 4 months pointing grasshoppers.

Not a Setter, Setters that hunt where Lucy goes come back with bloody tail nubs.





My patented, do not fetch the kitty training.
