Hunting is fun but the burrs ruin my beautiful coat!

I got to go hunting with my Master and didn't find any birds. Actually I didn't know what to do, as I haven't been trained.

I did get into a briar patch and the stickery bush was terribly painful. My Master had to cut the hair on one of my ears so I've lost my beautiful long hair....at least on one ear. The hair under my arm pits had to be cut too. The stickers (burrs) were embedded into my hair, close to the skin. I couldn't sit, I couldn't walk, I couldn't lay down without yelping.… Continue

On another track, Melvin has finally arrived in Sweden & is settling down to… Continue

Unknown setterowner (continued...)

This photo has hung on the wall in my kitchen for many years. Found at a fleamarket and taken in Sweden. He obviously loved his dogs enough to have a special photo taken with them. I find it interesting that the leads used are so very thin, rather like show-leads. Enjoy two setters from the past...he is now back in his frame and once again looking down at me on a daily basis. :-)

PS I am certain he would have been delighted to find himself… Continue
