    Shorthairs are my favorite breed and I've had them for years. In the face of every dog I see, I can see a resemblance to one of the dogs I've had. I love to see others discover what fun dogs they are. They'll do anything for you if you can figure out how to explain it to them.

    Finding a good fitting vest is hard. Most vests are made for Labs and have to be modified to come close to fitting a shorthair. There's a company that makes medical gear with neoprene that will make custom fitted vests for a decent price. I think I paid around $60 and they have all fit my dogs like tailor made wetsuits.

    Upland birds, Ike would wear one collar and Mickey the other. Mickey broke on a deer, Ike was locked on a bird. I couldn’t figure out why Ike hopped every time I shocked Mickey until I realized dad had mixed up the collars. Mickey hit the brakes and Ike never broke his point. That little GSP was tough as nails, he just held you to a higher standard of shooting.
    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    I’ve apologized to a beagle more than once myself when I got mixed up with the buttons.

    The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.
