Mike's October Toby
An exceptional bird dog, now gone.
"Ted" Wenaha High Ryder
Ted is gone, but not forgotten. From Crockett/Sunrise lines, with some Cover Dog blood from his dam's side. Ted is the best bird dog I have owned and earned eight shooting dog placements in his career, and has a lot of wild birds shot over his points.
"Cody" - Wenaha Code Red
Cody is from Jetsetter X Johnny's Jewel. He has wins at the Western Open AA Derby Classic, the Oregon Shooting Dog CH AA derby, was R-U CH in the 2015 Pacific Coast CH and the 2015 California Quail CH.
"Andy" Wenaha Black Storm
Andy is gone - a vistim of cancer at age seven - a son of Tekoa Mountain Patriot X Iron Mistress - a daughter of Grid Iron. He was a good bird dog and I miss him.
"Buddy" - Wenaha Strongheart
Buddy is from Robertson's Kennel - a son of Audubon Americus X Sunrise's Last Hope - a daughter of Tekoa Mountain Sunrise. He was whelped in June of 2016. A really nice bird dog and I am having fun with him.
"L.J." Wenaha Little John
L.J. is by Cody and Crockett's Prairie Breeze, a daughter of Crockett's Deep Freeze. He is now living in Oklahoma and enjoying life as a family bird dog.

Nice, Pete! In the northeast, I mostly use the Lewis boots to protect an already-cut foot -- and they work wonders in helping recovery. Having said that, watching my dog gaiting like a Big Lick walking horse while he got used to the extra weight on the ends of his feet (and I put them on in pairs when I'm trying to protect a single cut foot) was pretty amusing.

Pete: are you using electrical tape over vet wrap? I have found that in the damp NE, using just athletic tape like they recommend, you'll lose a boot in the mud. I've heard of folks using duct tape over vet wrap, too.

Andrew, I used duct tape, ripped down the middle to give a narrower strip. That held without any slippage at all. But I like the idea of electrical tape. It would stretch and conform better than the duct tape.
Watching a dog get used to boots around the truck while gearing up to hit the field is one of the most hilarious moments in all of hunting.
