It looks like daisy has a hickey-ma-doodle. Are you sure Daisy is a girl ? Are you even sure it's Daisy ?

Maybe it's just the picture.

I've never seen a dog rear up on its hind legs to point before.

 

Nice job. Thanks for sharing that

 

I've never seen a dog rear up on its hind legs to point before.

That's cause you ain't never seen a special dog.

 

Ladies & Gentlemen,
What you think is male appendage is the camera picking up part of a branch in the back ground, good grief. Yes that is Daisy in the picture, and she is a very special Grouse dog, no doubt about that, she is also not rearing, her one front foot is on the downed tree in front of her, and she is on 3 point at a Grouse which has jumped up into a small tree about 30 yards back in the forest.

I was jesting of course.

I'm fairly sure you know your Dog's by name.

 

I had my most memorable point a couple weeks ago in Potter Co. A walked up on Ruby, my WPG, on point looking to my left. She was in the classic 3 point stance, frozen and tail qwivering with excitement. I looked out in front of her for the bird. Not seeing one I told her to get the bird. She stayed frozen but slowly turned her head toward me with eyes like saucers gave me a look like "over there you idiot!" then she looked back at the bird. I looked about 25 feet out in front of her and see a grouse walking slowly away. I get my gun ready. It flushes straight away. I shoot twice and miss. That point made the whole trip worth while. I wish I had got the bird. She deserved it.

 

Great looking dog and picture, thanks for posting.

 

222Shooter,
Ya got to love a dog who can set Grouse for gunning like that, prize her! Everybody misses, there are no gimmie Grouse shots when the Grouse is flushed. Give Ruby a pat on the head for me, hope you fed her real well that night, she earned it big time. You must have been using a semi or a pump gun, God allows few Grouse to be taken with them!

He does tolerate stack BBl guns however, especially with a Ryman Setter.
My Brother Kurt's Ryman Setter Shawnie.

 

God has allowed my semi and I to take many grouse and woodcock...God doesnt dicriminate!

 

Even single barrels...Hers my 12 year old son with his first grouse taken with his first shot ever at a grouse....I loved the looked on his face when it fell to his shot....

 

Fowlman,
Great picture of your boy and his 1st Grouse, it's a framer no doubt about it, mount the Grouse for him if you can. You sir a very very lucky man, cherish the the time with your son, especially Grouse hunting.

My bad. A few of my buddies had setters I hunted behind over the years. I seem to remember they would hold their tails straight up when they were pointing. They were just run of the mill breeding. They weren't from that Rhyming bloodline or anything. Decent hunting dogs, though.

 

BH,

I think you may be referring to the Decoverly bloodline. They are second to NONE. They are what all others aspire to be.

 

Well, which one is it? Rhyming, Reed or Decovertly?

 

Yes, what she said above you.

 

I'm cornfused.

 

Don't worry. God allows a few cornfused folks to to be confused.

 

Buckethead,
Daisy is a Ryman dog whos Sire and Dam were bred together by Bill Reid (GIE). The Sire was a Decoverly (SkyHawk) dog and the Dam was a Setters West dog, both exceptional Gun dogs. Hope this clears things up a might for ya.

I thought George Ryman died in the 60's?

 

So Bill Reid is GIE? My husband will be shocked to hear this news.

GIE,
If I have misidentified, I made a mistake.

Buckethead,
Yes George passed away long ago, however his breedline still exists, at DeCoverly and other places also. In reality Old Hemlock (GBE) dogs, are Ryman dogs also.
