Thought same thing.....thats a HAPPY DOG!!

Great thread! That setter smile is wonderful. Two of those setters sure look familiar. :) Are they from "the line"? Who are their parents?

I had the pleasure of meeting Bosco recently, he's Jackson's son (I may have misspelled his official name...)

Looks like a lot of fun for the pups!

Thanks for the comments,

@TurkeyRookie: Aspen cuts and tag alder bottoms West of Sudbury. We covered a lot of ground to help bring out the best in all the dogs.

@Red setter comments: He's definitely a character in the house or field.

@Sharon: The two dogs closest to the camera on the driver side, and the female closest to the camera on the passenger side are from "the line." They are Tessa's great grandkids, out of the late Spitfire's Jack and a Long Gone Nixon beeatch.

It gives me such pleasure to see that you have carried on that line over the past 8 1/2 years. :)

Do you think there is a similarity? :)

Uplanders Little Lady (8 1/2 years old)

What are you feeding your dogs Spence?

@Sharon #1, thank you and what a great picture of Little Lady. We took a great foundation and built on it and have been able to carve out a special niche even in the setter world. I got back on Sunday from judging the Michigan Woodcock championship and Marc & Scott Forman still talk about when Ugo brought Tess over for breeding.

@Sharon #2, baseline diet is Loyall Adult Active with K9 restart mixed in after rigorous days or while on training/hunting trips.

Thanks. ( Glad to see you posting more . :) )
