dasMafia,

Do you have any sharptails staked out?? I hear that you have great bird hunting back your way. I have been trying to get a good shoot on them for years, but always got the "should have been here yesterday" or "better come back tomorrow" routine.

By the way, I solved my tail docking problem...Ms Scarlet, my Llewellin Setter. Nice to see that tail carried high. You have a good dog in that Shorthair. I grew up (now 56) with German dogs of various kinds and looks. My Dad brought the first WPG's West of the Mississippi, and we had GSP's, also. For all around bird producing and stamina, the Germans have it all.
