Way to go Will. Nice meeting you in Vah-ginia last month. Looks like I have a really busy spring coming up but maybe see you again in the field with those dogs this time.
Congratulations Will, and nice picture. Is that the Little Rockies in the background? Nice spot. Hope I can met you there some time - or perhaps someplace equally pleasant.
Thanks Fellas. We certainly caught the breaks that day. I missed a couple of events in Jan due to Liz being in season but we're looking forward to the remainder of the Spring.
Craig - hope to see you again soon. Mickey is a hell of a dog. The similarities between he and Ted are uncanny.
Pete - those are in fact the Little Rockies. BEAUTIFUL country as you well know. Would love to meet up with you there.
Life is short Quit your job. Turn off the TV. Go outside and play.
The photo behind the title header was made by Clair Kofoed in NE Oregon several years ago - Jesse pointing, Huns flushing, and me thinking about the camera and shooting behind.
This century's quotes
"Over the long haul of life on this planet, it is the ecologists, and not the bookkeepers of business, who are the ultimate accountants."
- Stewart Udall, 1970
"Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end"
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.
