It's amazing, isn't it?

At the hunting tests and seminars, the pro photographers hide out in the field and use long lenses to catch this stuff. One of the pros has a gallery titled "Goofy, Crazy, and Cute". You'd be surprised how many retrievers look like the Hound of Hell when they're heading for a duck.

That's one the gunners missed. She was HIGHLY indignant and expressed her disgust with the entire affair all the way back to the line.

Good dog! And good shooter, too. Snipe are very hard to hit.

That is a big dog, but 36 in. hardly seems like a record. The standard for an Irish Wolfhound is 36 in. This is Bailey. He's an Irish Wolfhound who is a regular at the dog park that I frequent. He's on the small side for a full grown Irish Wolfhound, btw.

I think they suffer from “Little Dog Syndrome” and try to make up for their size by being (in their minds, anyway) ferocious, lol! I think our miniature dachshund has the same syndrome.

Yeah, come to think of it I have some friends who have two mini doxies - one almost ate me up the first time I visited. We figured out later it was my sunglasses she didn’t like. After that, it was fine, lol.

LOL.

[fishergirl]

The sunglasses, lol! Last year during Hurricane Gustave, our son’s dachshund stayed with us. We called the two dachshunds our “Anti-looting Dachshund Alarm System”. The problem was that they can bark so loud for such small dogs, looters could’ve been coming through the roof and we wouldn’t have been able to hear it, haha!

Your baby is pretty , for sure.

Kamikazi Labrador.

She is a very lovely dog.

[AnAmericanMother]

Thank you. She's better bred than some D.A.R. members -- her grandfather is a very famous 2x National Field Champion - Ebonstar Lean Mac - and the rest of her pedigree is a roster of field names, with one line of what they call 'dual purpose Labs' - dogs that can win in the show ring and at hunt tests.

She is a handful to train, but even with a somewhat clueless amateur handler she is coming together at just age 3 to be a very nice little retriever. (If she had a better handler she could be at the Grand by now . . . )
