Otis - 12-year old male lab. Maybe the best pheasant dog I ever walked behind and the best dog I ever owned. Time is short and it often weighs heavy on my mind.
Nina - 6-year old female lab. Maybe the worst pheasant dog I ever walked behind. Clingy, needy and a source of constant frustration. Kids love her though and she is here to stay.
Butkus - Male Lab 1987 - 1998. Did a little duck hunting with him and was a good companion. Didn't live in pheasant country at the time. Think he would have been a pretty good meat dog if given the chance.
Zonk, Fred, Sam, Tuck - Setter, two pointers and a Brittany I grew up with back in Indiana. Quail numbers were on the fall back then so hunting memories are few and far between.
