A man and his dog, lets see yours

I trained retrievers for field trials and hunt tests for several years. This was my pick of the litter 8 years ago. Unfortunately life got hectic and he was put away after about 8 months of training and now just a wonderful friend. There was a fantastic hatch of mountain quail this year and I hope to get him out this fall.

Beautiful dog
 
these are my current two, both from a couple of years ago.
Jet, my black lab who is now getting on a bit in age. Loves being out with me. Retrieves quite well, at his own pace though. Just loves being with me.

and this is the H bomb! Holly my springer.
her first fishing trip on lake Tanganyika. She retrieved very well and thinks she is part otter. The only time she is dry is when she is chasing goats at the farm or sleeping. Other than that she is in either the lake or the fish ponds.

Here are my pictures of my late companions, Savannah (Yellow Lab), and Lucky (German Shepherd) both are in Puppy Heaven. The third picture is of Oreo, and she still with us. She is not happy with the hoody and that is one of the reason of why dogs bite. :LOL::LOL:
 
Maggie...sadly passed on a few years ago. A lady in every respect. She was featured in this year´s Aguila Ammunition calendar in the whole of Mexico. She will never be equalled!

Nugget here. A guide gave me the nickname as I looked similar to Nugent at the time. Hunting for over 50 years yet I am new to hunting in another country and its inherent game species. I plan to do archery. I have not yet ruled out the long iron as a tag-along for a stalk. I am still deciding on a short list of game. Not a marksman but better than average with powder and string.

Everyone always thinks about the worst thing that can happen, maybe ask yourself what's the best outcome that could happen?
