Hunting Dogs There Are Great Gun Dogs, Then There Are Those Whose Names Will Forever Be Remembered for Their Historically Significant Achievements 2/22/19, 1010 PM Page 1 of 1 ___ " SUBSCRIBE HUNTING 11 Legendary Hunting Dogs There are great gun dogs, then there are those whose names will forever be remembered for their historically significant achievements BY TOM KEER YESTERDAY AT 1:50PM ! ! " # $ ! I love dogs which means I wouldn't walk a pheasant or quail field or sit in a blind without one. Dogs make every hunt. On some days they cast perfectly and handle every bird with ease. On others they plow through thick vegetation and crank out one blind retrieve after another. Those epic hunts make up for the times when they come unhinged and we cuss with the eloquence of a dockworker. But Momma didn't raise no quitter, so we get them back on track. It's all part of the game, and though we love our dogs best, some we've never met have found a place in our hearts—and gun dog history. Shadow Oak Bo is one of only two dogs to win back-to-back field trial National Championships Chris Mathan 1. Shadow Oak Bo Tell an All-Age field trialer that a setter has a shot to win the National Championship and he'll chuckle. Count Gladstone, a setter, won the first National in 1896, and for the next decade-plus, a setter winning the Super Bowl of bird dogs was as common as sunburn. But that was because pointers weren't allowed to compete. Pointers were welcomed in 1909, and since then they've put on a clinic. Their beat down on Professor Longhair was epic; the most recent setter win at Ames Plantation was Johnny Crockett and that was in 1970— when men wore super short cut-off jean shorts and knee-high tube socks while listening to the Partridge Family sing "I Think I Love You." But Shadow Oak Bo came along and he was legit. He was an honest setter dog, stunningly handsome and biddable, but he had one difference. Bo ran like a pointer. Add a top shelf bird dog pit crew of Georgia's Butch Houston and the late Dr. John Dorminy as owners, and legendary trainer/handler Robin Gates and the rest was history. Bo won the National in 2013 and returned the following year to win it again. Only two dogs in the century-plus history of the National ever won consecutive back-to-backs. His potential hat trick came in 2014, but Bo didn't three-peat. He did go on to the luxurious life as a stud dog, though. Lounging around, eating, and breeding isn't so bad, is it? Robin Gates & Butch Ho… Things got real interesting with one recent litter. It was a Shadow Oak Bo x Gates Country Blair. The owner/breeder of the female is none other than Robin Gates' brother John Rex Gates, the youngest inductee to the Bird Dog Hall of Fame. He and his wife Diane Deming Gates helped Mrs. Dale Bush pick out a female as a present for her husband. But her husband Dale Bush isn't just any bird dogger, he's in the Bird Dog Hall of Fame, too. Bird dogs have driven Mrs. Bush crazy for over 40 years, but when she suspected his advancing age made him think of shutting down his kennel she'd have no part of it. And that's why she got him a Gates pup. But there was something else at play, for Dale Bush is a leading expert in frozen semen used for artificial insemination. He was the visionary to secure some of Johnny Crockett's sperm and to wait until he found a female of champion pedigree to which to breed. It took 46 years for the right bitch to come around, and a Bo daughter was a perfect match. The breeding worked, and Dale's pups are just over a year-old hunting and pointing Texas quail like crazy. They'll be trialed soon, so keep your eyes on these dogs. With luck, one (if not both) will be added to this list in a few years. Winchester's John Olin had vision, creativity, and a hard-work ethic which he applied to business and to his retrievers. His King Buck is the only dog to be featured on a Federal Duck Stamp. Tom Keer 2. King Buck Sure John Olin applied progressive-burning, smokeless powder to paper shotshells, and created the famous Super-X load. Sure he introduced shotshells in the 1960s with hulls that were made with a new material called plastic. And sure he owned Winchester firearms and manufactured many of the rifles and shotguns we use today. But his love of hunting brought about a focus on bird dogs, and as a devoted Labrador retriever man he is best known for King Buck. A statue of the legendary King Buck can be seen at John Olin's shooting preserve, Nilo Farms. Tom Keer Olin wanted dogs of the highest caliber, and he bred them for good looks, great noses, and intelligence. King Buck was trained by T.W. "Cotton" Pershall, and the dog won back-to- back national retriever championships in 1952 and in 1953. Buck is the only retriever to compete in 63 consecutive series of the National Championship Stake. In today's world he'd be known as the GOAT, the greatest of all time. His successes were so significant that they earned him a feature on the 1959 Federal Waterfowl Stamp and the bragging rights of being the only dog in history to be on the stamp. His collection of certificates, silver plates and silver cups are housed at the kennels at Nilo Farms and they showcase his CH and RUCH victories. If you need more than a few words to describe one of the best shooting dogs of all time then you should write a book about him. The late Robert Wehle, founder of the Elhew pointers line, did just that. And we're thankful he did. Amazon BUY 3. Snakefoot There are pointers and there are Elhew pointers goes the saying, and Snakefoot was perhaps the pinnacle of Bob Wehle's breeding program. Wehle's goal was to breed a dog that could adjust to any hunting situation and naturally handle any bird. His dogs could run big just as easily as they could cover close, and no Southern bobwhite quail, New York State grouse, or Montana sharptail was safe. Wehle's smart, tenacious, eager-to-please pointers were the envy of many, and Snakefoot was so revered for his wins that he was elected to the Field Trial Hall of Fame. Snake won as a National Shooting Dog and was the Shooting Dog of the Year. Wehle loved this classy dog with stunningly good looks and a big motor so much that he even wrote a book about him. Earl Twombly developed a strain of setters appropriate for the Northern New England grouse and woodcock woods. Two of his dogs were made famous by longtime Field and Stream columnist Corey Ford. Courtesy of Legh Wellman Higgins 4 & 5. Cider and Tober Talk about bird dogs and Field and Stream and you have to give a shout out to the magazine's legendary columnist Corey Ford. That's right, the writer behind The Lower 40 column as well as the masterpiece The Road to Tinkhamtown. Read that and don't shed a tear, I dare you. Ford was a writer first and bird hunter second, and while his brace of Cider and Tober did not win field trials, they have been immortalized through Ford's writing. Cider's name was coined because he, like the beverage, came to life in the fall, and Tober is short for that prime upland month of the year, October. Both setters were bred by Vermont's Earl Twombly and are a combination of his best hunting setter, Duke of Decoverly, and show setters from both Mount Mansfield Kennels and Blue Barr Kennels' blood lines. These dogs weighed around 75 pounds and featured coats of roan marbling, very different from the typical ticking. Cider and Tober's progeny live today through the hard work of Twombly's grandson and his wife, Legh and Jenn Higgins. Their Coronation Kennels is in Northern Vermont, so if you're a Corey Ford fan (and who isn't), then you can own a pup descended from that famous brace. Field and Stream’s Corey Ford (left) with Cider. Courtesy of Legh Wellman Higgins Augustus Fink Nottle (Gus) with trainer Callum McGregor. Charles Laughton 6. Augustus Fink Nottle Thankfully the dog has an easier-to- pronounce call name, but know this: Gus is a beast. He's all muscle, the lab equivalent of Arnold Schwarzenegger in Pumping Iron. He was whelped and trained by Blue Cypress Kennels' Callum Macgregor and is the first British lab bred in America, born in America, and trained in America to return to his native UK and win field trials. No other British lab from any other American breeder has accomplished that lofty goal. And Gus did it when he was 18-months old. Head trainer Jeremy Criscoe is preparing Gus for a 2019 return to the land across the Pond. If the Beatles and Rolling Stones were part of the 1960s British Invasion of America then Gus might be part of an American Invasion of the UK. Think about it. Dez Young and his setter Hank were more than Outdoor Life Network celebrities. Dez Young 7 & 8. Hank and Dash Some dogs are just made for the big screen, and Dez Young's Llewellin setters Hank and Dash were two such pups.

    The English Setter Association of America Judges’ Education Presentation The first dog registered with the AKC was an English Setter named ADONNIS Champion Rock Falls Colonel Retired from the show ring in 1955 and was the first dog in the history of the AKC to have won 100 Best in Shows. Did You Know? The first AKC-licensed pointing-breeds field trial was conducted by the English Setter Club of America in 1924 in Medford, NJ. Original Purpose & History of the English Setter The English Setter is one of the oldest breeds of gun dog with a history dating back to the 14th century. It was thought to be developed between crosses of Spanish Pointer, Water Spaniel and the Springer Spaniel. Its purpose was to point, flush and retrieve upland game birds. The modern English Setter owes its appearance to Mr. EDWARD LAVERACK, who developed his own strain of the breed by careful inbreeding during the 19th century. Another Englishman, Mr. R. PURCELL LLEWELLIN began a second strain based upon Laverack’s line that developed into the working setter. Today you will hear the term Llewellin Setter. This is not a separate breed, just a different type, more often referred to as the Field Setter. This strain is more often used in field trials. ▪Although the Llewellin English Setter is still the predominate type seen in the field today, Laverack English Setters are making their mark. ▪The first Dual Champion finished in 1985. ▪There are 13 Dual Champions to date. ▪Numerous show English Setters have earned hunting titles. ▪You will see whiskers left on.

  • Sporting Group Study Guide Naturally Active and Alert, Sporting Dogs Make Likeable, Well-Rounded Companions
    Sporting Group Study Guide Naturally active and alert, Sporting dogs make likeable, well-rounded companions. Remarkable for their instincts in water and woods, many of these breeds actively continue to participate in hunting and other field activities. Potential owners of Sporting dogs need to realize that most require regular, invigorating exercise. The breeds of the AKC Sporting Group were all developed to assist hunters of feathered game. These “sporting dogs” (also referred to as gundogs or bird dogs) are subdivided by function—that is, how they hunt. They are spaniels, pointers, setters, retrievers, and the European utility breeds. Of these, spaniels are generally considered the oldest. Early authorities divided the spaniels not by breed but by type: either water spaniels or land spaniels. The land spaniels came to be subdivided by size. The larger types were the “springing spaniel” and the “field spaniel,” and the smaller, which specialized on flushing woodcock, was known as a “cocking spaniel.” ~~How many breeds are in this group? 31~~ 1. American Water Spaniel a. Country of origin: USA (lake country of the upper Midwest) b. Original purpose: retrieve from skiff or canoes and work ground c. Other Names: N/A d. Very Brief History: European immigrants who settled near the great lakes depended on the region’s plentiful waterfowl for sustenance. The Irish Water Spaniel, the Curly-Coated Retriever, and the now extinct English Water Spaniel have been mentioned in histories as possible component breeds. e. Coat color/type: solid liver, brown or dark chocolate. A little white on toes and chest is permissible.
