My "Old Man" Guinness - featured here as a younger guy ...

Never achieved more than one SH pass on paper but he has been PRICELESS to me and every time I post I love to see him in this little photo ... looking so energetic and slim - ready get in trouble!
 
Mine is Otch Topbrass Whistler's Peak.
For those of you who have been around a while, he is a Luke/Bingo son, a Phoenix brother and a ton of dog even at 12.
He still marks-can't see the birds, but knows where to look:)
Years ago I asked Lisa Hartfield about Bingo. She said Bingo was more dog at 10 then most people could handle. I feel blessed to have him, and am thankful for every minute he is willing to stick around. Love him dearly.
 
My avatar is my buddy "Thunder". It was the second time in his young life where he returned an object thrown, in the water naturally. For a while I was worried his retrieving desire was lacking, but something in his eye told me not to worry. He is our first retriever and the wife is convinced he is the smartest animal alive! :)
 
Mine is a picture of Buster Brown my choclate lab on the last water blind of the last water series of his last hunt test to get his AKC SH. He has been whistle stopped and is waiting for direction. It's my favorite photo of him.
 
It is what I like to do best with my dogs. Hunt em up....
 
I'm glad to hear Blaze is doing good. I seen him at Blackhawk just after his surgery. He is one of the best looking dogs I've ever seen.(looks a lot like my Patton pup) We were sitting by your truck on the road at Parrots place. My little girl really liked the old lab you had with you.
Thanks Hoosier, Blaze continues to be full of life and ready to go. I have all 6 dogs home now, and he's the life of the party.

And I do remember your little girl being so drawn to Chance, the 14+yo senior citizen that camps out in the cab of the dog truck on our road trips.

He's such a sweet-natured dog, always seems to be a magnet for children. They seem to sense how grateful he is for a kind word, a gentle pat on the head; maybe it's partially because he was an abuse/rescue case, but children are just drawn to him.

He's still here, but his days with me are even more precious, as he is in the sunset hours of his life.
