Pete snapped this photo of Rosie and Ted pointing sharptails across a gully in Montana. Rosie on the left, Ted on the right. Pretty, eh?

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.

Looks like the little guy has a future! Awesome stuff.

Rosie got to the birds first, but Ted slipped in and 'stole' the front position. A bad habit of his that will get him tossed out of a field trial one day.
At three years Ted is becoming a bird dog, and except for a few (and I think minor) faults, he is a nice dog. Rosie is a bit older, but I would rate them about even in the bird finding department.
Thanks for posting that picture. I wish I had spent more time steadying the camera before I snapped the photo; it could have been spectacular. Those points, and the subsequent relocations to find the birds 250 yards away, were some of the nicest dog work we had in Montana.
I really enjoy watching Rosie and Ted working together. Ted is like a halfback - fast and very powerful. Rosie is more like a wide receiver. The two of them look very good together on the ground.
Cool! Did the birds hold until you got there?
Dale: The birds held and we got up to the covey, but we performed a lateral Fuster Cluck on the flushing part. Dogs did it right, we didn't.
