| Hello Ron,
No, I just think everyone is busy. I have been busy ending up my field trial
season.
One more trial left, the AKC Pointing Gun Dog Championship. I will be
heading out
Saturday for Reno Nevada.

| Ditto,
Just got in the door from a whirl-wind tour of Europe including some
areas that have not seen tourists since Napoleon. Clothes are in
tatters, eyes heavy with jet-lag and the Visa card is now on life
support....anyone know a good credit card chaplain that could come
over to say a few words before we pull the plug?
I shot over 8000 frames of various dogs in Spain (Madrid and
Mallorca), Portugal, Italy, France, Holland and Germany. By week's
end I hope to have the top 100 chosen and posted to my site. Stay
tuned for pix of Braques, Perdigueros, Pachons, Langhaars, Weims,
Brittanies...oh, and even a GSP (they call em Kurzhaars over there....).
The trip was probably be the last one we make to Europe specifically
for my mega-huge book of dogs I've been working on. Next year, we
plan to spend time in the US. There's a town in New Mexico we'd like
to check out. Maybe you've heard of it....Las Cruces. I hear tell
there are some nice GSP's in that neck of the woods and I'm willing
to bet it's a wee bit warmer in January than Winnipeg!

Do tell . . .
We would love to have you Craig!! We will show you some awesome quail
hunting.
This was a great trial season. We put the FC on Two Dual Champions. That
makes 20 for me.
I can retire now .
I am anxiously awaiting your book. Hope I can buy an early signed copy.

| Things are just cooling down here, snakes are less of
a problem, first trial this weekend.
Conditions are dry (again), but there were good rains
- and hence vegetation growth over the summer, so
areas that haven't been heavily grazed still have
decent cover and birds.
The quail season opened a couple of weeks ago and I
got a dozen birds. My two setters are working well and
my young pointer pup found, then caught and retrieved
a wounded bird (I expect all my dogs to retrieve).
She's coming only really well and hope to have her
pointing wild birds this coming weekend.
Cheers,
Rob

| Good News. I have a pointer gip that was given to me because she wouldn't
hunt BIG enough. Wow! I don't know what they didn't like. I have to call her
back all of the time but she is real intense. I love her. I have a settr pup
that I rescued year before last and he works great. Honors but don't get to
retrieve much as I flush with a retriever and he takes the bird away and
brings it back. Sometimes on multiple birds the pointers get to retrieve;. I
have a couple of other pointers that are young and just getting started. I
have a 4 year old that is world class. I will do some quail hunts next year
as we just leased another place that would be good. I spend every day
hunting pheasants. I missed a couple of months this year with a heart attack
but someone else got to run my dogs and do the hunts during that time. They
sure got loose.

Ron>>
I dont think that you are too much broke
 ))
I have been away for a while, working. While I was on the
sick list some 18 months the ferry company I used to work on bought another ship
owner, the Birka Cruises and Birka Cargo, that they had been a major share
holder in for many years. So when I sent a mail to my old company, saying I
wanted to work, they called me from Birka Cruises instead and offered me the
cruise vessel Birka Paradise. So thats were I have been lately and will be at
least until the end of August. Once they have me settled in their system I will
work one week on/one week of. Goto http://www.birka.se/ and there click on
"fartyget" and some picks of the ship will pop up. It´s a modern ship, 4 years
old, and everything is controlled by computers. I have so far found 10 computers
in the engine control room only, and one of them is connected to internet so
basically I could discuss dogs from my work. As a matter of fact I have already
done that, on a Swedish site. It will take years to learn the ship thoroughly
but I doubt I will stay that long. I want to go back to the ferry again.
Compared to the cruise liner it is a indeed a "scrapheap challange" but it sails
to a harbour only 4 kilometers from our house and that is very
practical.
Here at home the rainy season, that was called "the
winter" in the past when me and grandfather were young, has ended. Nights are
still cold but days are warm, 10 - 15 centigrade and the nature is drying up and
becomes comfortable again. Birds are singing and all kinds of green stuf is
growing in the soil. I should be working on the vegetable land but I rather go
out to the forest with the dogs and watch ants working on the sunny side of
their hill. They are much better suited for heavy work than me... Maybe I should
try to find the old macro lens to the camera and spend the afternoon making
scientific studies of the nature.............
Last sunday we started another gundog obedience class. 3
wachtelhund, 3 working labs, one elkhound cross breed, one dachshound and
one harehound. As always the cross breed gives trouble and I am not sure that we
can bring it to order??? The other dogs are like sweet angles and I could take
any of the wachtels with me at home. They are pretty funny dogs, German spaniels
indeed!
