Wow....what a beautiful picture of a memory that will no doubt last a lifetime!! (Only thing missing was your Fox.)
God I do love GSP's, especially her markings; ticked/w solid liver head!! Did she hail from upper mid-west breeding...say Michigan or Wisconsin?? Seems a lot of the hardcore German lines are still found up in those parts.
I had second pick on a Doc Reiser, Shooting Star male back in the early 90's but had to cancel due to a promotion at work that had me travelling 4 days a week. God....I do regret that decision!!! Beautiful dog.....best of luck with her and thanks for sharing!!-----TOOLMAN

Pup is from Honey Run Kennels here in PA. Cindy Stahle is known for breeding old line, traditional GSPs. http://www.honeyrunshorthairs.com/ My pup pointed her first Grouse at seven months, and I could not be happier with her, just wish this had not been such a down year for bird numbers, as at her age, she needs all the bird contact she can get.TOOL MAN wrote:Wow....what a beautiful picture of a memory that will no doubt last a lifetime!!

Beauty of a dog & nice bird but the owner looks a little grizzled! Just joking 
With my long white beard I get the Santa Claus stare from kids in July! Nice wood on that SW 16 too! I'm jealous! 
Keep up the good work.
Best times & best guns,
Dave

Nice pics, Jay! Looks like the briers gothca on the cheek. I really like that Dan-stocked 16SW, what a beaut. Love the GSP as well. For some of us the hunt is a three part equation that just isn't balanced without a four legged friend along.Congrats to all!

I saw the 16 when it was under construction. I was so impressed, I threw a 32"pigeon gun in the door at Dan''s and it came out "outstanding".
