In the winter of 2006 we bred our 8x Champion and 4x RU CH. Long Gone Agnes to the defending Grand National Grouse Champion AND Grouse and Woodcock Invitational Champion, 6xCH. Cracklin Tail Speed. This brought together two of the most accomplished grouse dogs of our time. We kept a big tri colored male pup we called “Boston”.
The first time we flew out some birds for him, while he was still a little pup, he just ran out in our birdfield and “stuck em”, pointing solid by smell and just swelled up, reminding me of his Mama doing the same thing, at the same spot, 9 years earlier ! We played with Ch. Boston on birds over the summer and put him on wild birds in September at 6 months old. He was in the cover 1 minute and 20 seconds when he pointed and held his first woodcock. That first fall I shot “a lot” of wild birds over his points, both grouse and woodcock. Ch. Boston handled grouse fine also, and just loves to point them.

In the spring of 2007 Boston was started in field trials. Ch. Boston placed in the International Cover Dog Puppy Classic (with an eye popping five find performance, from leftover birds from the shooting dog stakes the
day before, even though puppies do not have to point) and placed second in the New Hampshire Amateur
Puppy Classic. In the fall of 2007 Boston was started in derby stakes. Boston won the prestigious Bill Kearns
Open Derby Classic with two scouted grouse finds and a woodcock find in 30 minutes in a single course format! He followed this up a week later by winning the time honored North American Woodcock Futurity in
Moncton, New Brunswick, with Dave Hughes handling with a grouse and woodcock find again in 30 minutes.
Boston was hunted the rest of the fall almost daily on wild birds and had a trucklaod of grouse and woodcock shot over his points. Boston is everything we hoped for when we bred these two legendary grouse
dogs.
Placement Winner in 2008 one hour National Grouse Derby Classic, with two grouse finds and a back in Marionville, PA. Ch. Boston was hunted hard all fall, In Vermont, NH and PA. ( fall 2008, winter 2009) and was only run in two trials, but found and pointed both grouse and woodcock in them.
Ch. Long Gone Boston has size, is tri colored, is breathtaking on point, has a loving and friendly personality and is a truly gifted birdfinder. Ch. Long Gone Boston has been bred to some quality females recently, kindly call for details, or look at our “current breeding section “ on this web site for up to the minute breedings.
Three year old Ch. Long Gone Boston produced the winner of the 65th Grand National Grouse Futurity in Marionville, PA. in the fall of 2009. Of course the young winner found and pointed a grouse to wins this time honored stake!
In May 2011 Long Gone Boston was named Winner and Champion at The Empire Open Walking Shooting Dog Championship in Preston, New York, with 6 breathtaking finds and a back. The best walking shooting dogs in the country and the best pros were all there!Minard, Ecker, Formans, Malzone and of course, Dave Hughes! We want to “Thank “ Dave for handling 2xCH Long Gone Boston to this title. Boston throws his head back on point just like his mama did, 8xCH Long Gone Agnes, his poker stright tail and good size make him a joy to look at on point. Boston has now won championships on both wild and liberated birds.

The above photo of Tess from today at the Fort Mill trial, which runs on the Echo Plantation grounds in Chester, SC. She placed 3rd in the Open HB Derby stake out of a field of 33-dogs!!! This is also a Bill Conlin Setter Awards trial, so she’s got a nice start toward that. Let Boston know his daughter is doing her best to make him proud. Exciting stuff!
Take Care, Dale

My son purchased a female puppy from you
out of Boston and the Taylor’s Havelock female in September 2013. I thought you may
like an update. She is doing very well and is a
real pleasure, both in the field and around the
home. She is around 40 pounds, well built,
and athletic. For her age I think she is easy
to handle and ranges appropriately given the
cover. We live in Utah and hunt wide open
spaces to tight grouse coverts. She seems to
mange them well and is gaining experience.
Thanks for the beautiful dog! The pics are
from the Utah pheasant opener (Nov 1) and a
training session.

Hi Lloyd….congratulations to you and Dave, you should be proud of winning the Grand National, you have
great dogs. My pup from Bos / Zee is hunting much better than I thought he would considering he hasn’t
had much training, in fact he’s the only dog I’ve hunted so far this season because my 11 1/2 yr. old dog
by Nixon is still recovering from surgery to remove 6 cancer tumors. He still needs training but we have
shot a Lot of birds over his points, many limits of woodcock, several pheasants, only a couple of grouse
but that’s because we can’t shoot. He doesn’t hunt like a 9 mos old dog that’s for sure, he’s all puppy in
the house and is very playful but as soon as that bell goes on his neck it’s all business he has a great
nose for finding and tracking birds, he even stays steady for wing and shot most of the time and is breaking when the bird hits the ground. I would still like Dave to work with him but I am very happy with him
thanks again…best

We purchased a pup from you and the Taylors in September 2013. Thought you might
enjoy some recent pictures of her. She is now
6 months old. She is a fantastic dog and has
a great temperament both as a pet and in the
field. Thanks a bunch for your help in getting
her. We really enjoy her.

My wife ran her puppy this past weekend at the last trial of the year at Peltons. Dee Dee ran in amature
and open puppy. Both stakes had 9 braces with a really nice mix of dogs.Dont you know she took first in
amature and second in open…What a show she put on.She was only pup with finds in both stakes..The
judge was a guy from Manitoba named Barry Bassingthwaighte(say that three times fast) At the end of
the first day he told Maria that Dee Dee set the standard for the trial.At the end of the trial he sat with us
for a while and just could not say enough good things about Dee Dee.The dog that beat her in the open
was a pup from last years gsp amature national champion. While Dee DEE beat her in the amature the
dog did run bigger in day two. Maria got a little nervous when Dee Dee had a big cast on day two and
called her in. You live and you learn.Maria is on cloud nine right now..What a joy two watch her and her
dog giving it hell.As the judge said snappy as all hell, high on both ends and a pleasure to watch.That being said lets get another one the hell with those pointers. Somthing about that Studley breeding has got
our attention.Hope too hear your thoughts on him thanks again for all you have done for us and the
sport…………………..

bitch that I might breed to him. (December 1, 2013) Michael Smith

We think Allie will be the number one amateur derby in the NE region this year for US Complete. As of today she is 4th in the nation as well. Here is a run down of her placements this spring Setter Club (Cape Cod) 1st Sothern New England Classic (Arcadia) 1st Acadia Field trial club 1st Ocean State Bird dog club Arcadia 1st Sugar Brook field trial CT 3rd Independent (Kelsey elected to picked her up because her brace mate took a bird out that Allie was pointing and She went with it.) and you know the results of Lloyds trial. Here are a couple of recent pictures of her on point. We will let you know the results when they announce the US Complete awards later this summer.

Lloyd, I purchased a setter pup from you almost three years ago. I couldn’t have asked for a better
grouse/woodcock dog. High energy, hard charging and birdy beyond belief.
I’m looking for a partner for him. I wouldn’t even discuss with any other breeder.
Looking for a male pup sometime this spring, early summer.

It was nice to see you when I was in NH. We are now back in Florida. I meant to tell you that I met a Jim Hayes in Montana. He was from Maryland and said he had a pup from Murphy and Digit and wanted me to tell you that the pup worked out really well.
I expect Abby to go into heat either Feb or March. After she starts to discharge how many days do I have before she can be bred to Buck?
I found that there was a lot more Grouse around when the weather turned cold. How did your season go?

Hi Lloyd, (December 2012)
I bought your pick of the litter a couple of years ago and I still think she is the smartest dog I have ever trained. Sometimes too smart. She was by Boston out of the Reroy bitch (Tiger Lilly). She was in Lance Bressler’s possession at the time. Anyway, at less than two years old, she is an excellent grouse dog. She pointed a ton of wild birds (grouse and woodcock) in Michingan’s UP this year. We shot quite a few for her. Her only fault is that right now she does not run big enough for the Coverdog Trials. I would expect that she will later on though. For now she is too busy finding birds. Anyway, she is due to come in heat in February and I would like to breed her to Buckwheat or Nixon. I would appreciate your opinion on which one. I am located in SW Pennsylvania and I could travel to Dave Hughes place if need be. I also have a good vet that will do the AI. Hope you and yours have a very Merry Christmas…..Pete Campsey

Lloyd, we went up north and had a chance to hunt over a nixon pup well not a pup an older female.Wow
what a show she put on talk a bout a cracker Jack. Her owner is my cousin from mass. He should be your
sales rep. He has judged a bunch of trials over the years and just loves all of the long gone dogs. His exact
words were” Long gone dogs are the best Grouse dogs in the woods period many can try but knowone
can touch them”. His little female backed it up What a nice dog. Had some really nice finds and just beautiful on point.I hope you and your family have a good holiday season looking forward too hearing pup

Hi Llloyd:
I have a nearly two year old male from Marsal’s Kennel in New Jersey. Marsal’s bitch was bred to Long Gone Boston. My dog, Rex, is in his second hunting season and is really coming on strong. Rex is big and hunts hard. I am starting the search for another puppy and would like a similar dog. The Buckwheat/Ivy litter sounds great. Are you still taking deposits on that litter? If not, I’m in no hurry and would be interested in later breedings as well. Thanks. John Olsen

Lloyd,
That dog I bought from Kelly Shepherd “OWNS” ruffed grouse. He has a magical quality handling grouse that is hard to describe; but you know it when you see it.
Hope your season is going well. The woodcock numbers around here are huge. Grouse can be found….if you have the “right” dog; and I do.
You need to CLONE Long Gone Boston.

Hey Lloyd,
I placed my boy Jackson second in our Richard Moore OSD classic here in Canada on Saturday. I was really happy to have him handling and sticking with me, something we’ve been working on heavily. I also won the walking stake with his littermate who’s just as classy as Jackson.
I had a chance to work a wide variety of dogs this summer, gun dogs and shooting dogs and those two boys out of Boston were always the strongest dogs in the kennel.
How’s Boston doing? Is he going to be on the road with Dave this fall? Take care buddy,

Hi Lloyd,
My name is Allen Lacko. I had the good fortune to purchase one of your Setter puppies from Long Gone Boston and Long Gone Brie. I named her West Ridge Sadie and her call name is Sadie. I took her this passed March to a Southern New England Brittany Club Trial with a friend of mine. She took third place in Amateur Walking Puppy. My friend and I recently took a trip to the Northern New England Brittany Club located in the N.H. flood control area in Franklin. Sadie took first place in the Open Derby, first place in Amateur Puppy, second place in Amateur Derby and third place in Open Puppy. Sadie ended with a ribbon in every trial I placed her in. Unbelievable! I want to thank you for the dedication in breeding these champion dogs for people like me who can enjoy the pleasure of hunting and trialing with these amazing dogs. Thanks to Solon and you for this great puppy. Sadie is dually registered with the AKC and the FDSB so she also get the points for the AKC trials.
Regards, Allen Lacko

I wanted to drop you a note and let you know
how “Molly”, (Boston x Bianca) is doing at 7
months. We just finished up grouse season
that began in October in Michigan, Wisconsin
and finished up in Ohio. She traveled very well
and is getting along with my other setters. Although Molly didn’t point a wild bird (yet), she
did finally retrieve one and I am very pleased
with her in so many ways. She is a very intelligent dog and bold already…..she works the
cover better than any pup that I have had to
this point. We are expecting great things from
her…

Lloyd,
Here is an updated picture of my boston pup. This picture was taken when he was one year old. I am so impressed with his drive, intelligence and nose. He’s now with Dave Hughes in northern Pennsylvania and will soon be in Hoffman for another month with Dave. Maybe I will get the chance to run into you when I pick him up the later part of January. Dave says he is standing his birds good and is hunting really hard.

Boston pup, whelped 2011
Following up on my pervious e-mail, I wanted to let you know that Di is doing very well. She hunted with Jing last Saturday at Snake Meadow Club. As described by a fellow club member and hunting partner, their performance was “awesome.” Di backed all Jing’s points automatically and her own finds/points on pheasants were absolutely staunch with a nice feathered tail at 45 degrees. She is retrieving dummies. She will be a live bird retriever next season! Wow, at 9 plus months, I’m a happy owner!

Lloyd,
Hope all is well up your way. My Boston pup/Bog Brook Wilma is doing great standing and steady on liberated birds so I’ll be off to Wisconsin in a week to give him a week of work on wild birds and then a winter of hard hunting in West Virginia so he should get alot of wild bird work this season which will do him good. I named him Mosby and he has a great nose and alot of brains so he is going to be a great hunting dog. Guess you’re banging some grouse and having a good time with your dogs. I’d like to make it up there but probably not this year as the economy is putting some pressure on our business. One of my hunting friends in Charlottesville is looking at one of your pups out of Nixon and he showed me the pictures. He’d be crazy not to buy her as she looks great. If he does’nt buy her I may just buy her and pick her up on my way back from Wisconsin. Hopefully he’ll buy her. Take care and thanks for a great pup. I’ll let you know how Wisconsin goes.
All The Best

Email from Dr Solon Rhodes about his CH Long Gone Boston pup…3 months and change..pointing and
holding, grouse
“The best part of the trip was Kooper had three solo grouse points; one on Wed. in some pines and when I stepped into the pines to flush, the grouse went out across a cut where I only had a glimpse of it because of the pine trees and no shot. If only Kevin had been with me and standing in the cut. Thursday morning Kevin was knocked out of action when his gun failed. We were traveling back to NB for the second trial weekend and stopped in some Irwin Co. timber lands for a short hunt off route 11 south of Ashland. Kooper had two more nice grouse points and Brie had one. On one by Kooper, the grouse walked away from him right out in front of me, maybe 15 feet away. I was thinking I should kill this bird for him on the ground, but hesitated because it was too close. It then flushed and I missed a fairly easy shot. He pointed another on the side of a pre-commercial thinning lane and in toward the heavy cover and when I went to flush it, I could barely see it leave. Nevertheless, I was real happy with him as he has started to hunt and pointed and held for me to flush 3 grouse and he is not 4 months old until this Thursday. Good early developing Boston pup ahead of the curve.”

Last year I did not get to hunt her to much because of age. This year is whole new Story!! I applied some
training strategies that you showed me all of September and this FREAKIN’ dog is something else.
Hunts within range and covers ground very well. She does very well with grouse for a youngster, and really, her first year hunting. Here we have 3 grouse and 2 woodcock and we missed that many again this day. That she pointed!! I have a hard time pulling Scout of the crate this year. He is running well. Much better than when you saw him but really doesn’t hold a candle to Bea when it comes to handling and finding birds this year!! We are finding good grouse numbers with woodcock being way down. Haven’t even seen any Robins yet so I don’t think the migration is late this year.
Thanks Lloyd, Curt

Hi Lloyd
This is Jim Miller from Washington Pa. I bred my female Daisy to Boston in January. I was just wondering how you are doing and hoped the storm didn’t cause you to much damage. I kept 2 Pups out of the litter and they are really doing good. They are a little bit award when they run because there legs are so long. There almost 6 months and I am going to put them in a few walking trials just to get them exposed to whats going on. The female is about 95 percent White with very little Orange and she is a little bit bigger than her brother and are both as big as my bitch. I think they are going to be very good runners. The Male is mostly White with some Orange on his face he stands a lot like Boston when he points his nose is aimed in the air. Very beautiful pups and they have a lot of promiss in them and very smart and training very easy. I have them whoaing a little bit I am going to take it slow and not push them to hard mostly just letting them be thereselves. Maybe see you in the Grouse woods this fall, I would love to come up that way hunting I have never been up there. Well thanks again for studding 2X CH. LONG GONE BOSTON to my bitch they made great pups.

The female is about 95 percent White with very little Orange and she is a little bit bigger than her brother and are both as big as my bitch. I think they are going to be very good runners. The Male is mostly White with some Orange on his face he stands a lot like Boston when he points his nose is aimed in the air. Very beautiful pups and they have a lot of promiss in them and very smart and training very easy. I have them whoaing a little bit I am going to take it slow and not push them to hard mostly just letting them be thereselves. Maybe see you in the Grouse woods this fall, I would love to come up that way hunting I have never been up there. Well thanks again for studding 2X CH. LONG GONE BOSTON to my bitch they made great pups.
Your Friend, Jim
Lloyd,
Thanks for taking the time to show me your dogs in action Sunday Morning – that was unbelievable. It’s a real pleasure to watch a well trained dog work – yours are awesome!
As soon as I get out of South Boston and get a little more room, I’ll be tracking you down again. Best of luck this season and let me know if you ever make it down to Boston….I could probably track you down some tickets.
Thanks again, Scott Mackie

I trust you will be interested in this photo of: “Boston N’ Liz’s Bonus” . She is out of the litter Dean Reinke and Cathy Lewis raised. “Liz” is doing a good job on the wing. I hope this photo forwards.

“Jackson” is from the royal cover dog breeding of Long Gone Boston (Cracklin’ Tail Speed x Long Gone Agnes) and Uplander’s Elouise (Shady Hills Billy x Uplander’s Contessa). The precocious young male showed
immense talent to be a horseback shooting dog from an early age. Recognizing his potential, I took my
time with Jackson to nurture his hunting instincts and steady him. I won the London Field Trial Club Open
Derby with him in 90 degree heat with 4 crisp pheasant finds this past August.
I kept Jackson handling close during workouts all spring, shooting birds for him to maintain cooperation and intensity. I took Jackson to Michigan in April and he had two commanding performances on the wide open Ionia grounds. He won the Farmer-Sportsman Derby stake with 6 finds and got Runner-Up two days later in the Michigan Shooting Dog Championship Derby Classic with 7 finds.
Jackson is a dog that makes you sit high in the saddle. His style on the ground is electric and he has a tenacious ability to find birds. He drips with style on point and looks no different backing.

Lloyd,
Congratulations on winning the Empire Championship with Long Gone Boston. It makes me proud to own one of his pups. If you recall, I bought the pick of the litter out of Tiger Lilly. I call her Tinker Bell. She is now 16 weeks old and may be one of the smartest pups I have ever owned. I take her for a walk every day and she is now starting to hunt and run a bit. She will “kennel”, go into her box on command, heels, whoas and comes when she is called. I have put zero pressure, just showed her what I want and she catches on remarkably fast. She is the first dog I have ever had that actually is trying to anticipate my next command. Sometimes while heeling she will stop, knowing that the next command is going to be whoa. I am going to show her some birds this weekend.
Thanks,
Pete Campsey

Lloyd,
How are you? Just thought you’d get a kick out of knowing that yesterday at the Grand Valley Bird Dog Club’s spring trial run on the Ionia field trial grounds, my Boston pup Tess–handled by Spencer Ray– placed 3rd in the Open Horseback DERBY stake…at only 9-months old! These grounds can really show a dog, and she showed beautifully. Boston is sure putting out some nice pups. I’m heading to PA later in the week for the Ontario Grouse Championship & Venango Puppy Classic…maybe I’ll see you there.
Best of luck,
Dale

This was the last pup and the one I kept from last years litter.Joe took her down south for two weeks over the winter to get her out of the house,it was almost impossible to do anything with all the snow.When she got back I started working her and Emmy on the gravel roads in N Yarmouth Water District. just to try and keep them in shape, lots of snow And when the woodcock returned got them out three times a week.There was still quite a bit of snow,but the woodcock were in the few bare spots that the sun had got too.When I took her to Joe’s a week ago.I could walk in front of her and when I was running her and Emmy together she has been backing. Seems to come to her naturally,but we will see. She is long bodied and long legged. Hopefully will catch up with you at some point

Hi Lloyd,
Thought I’d send you a recent pic of “Tess”, my LG Boston x Waymaker Terrific Cassie (Stone Tavern Matrix x Humes Powerstroke) pup, now almost 8-months old. She is smart, has a super nose, looks great on point and is steady to flush, with zero pressure used to date. She is becoming more independent each time out, yet wants to go with you. Only time will tell, but based on what I see so far I’m excited about what the future may hold. Take care and best of luck this coming season! -Dale

Just wanted to let you know what a terific dog you sold me. Six months old and has been hunting with great success.for about a month. Holds point very well. Very easy to train.

Carmela and I went to the National Pointing Dog Museum in Grand Junction Tenn a couple of weeks ago. I have enclosed a picture of a plaque that I took while I was there, which I believe is your grandfather and I thought you might like a copy. Abby is down at Dave’s as we dropped her off on our way th NE May 26th. She has had a great first season. I shot 117 birds over her points, mostly quail here in Florida. She was in 3 field trials and finished 1st, 1st, and 2nd. I also entered her in 4 hunt tests which she qualified all four times and her lowest score was a 39 out of 40 and recieved her junior Hunt test certificate from AKC. I am anxiously waiting for Oct. How was the weather this spring up there as far as the Grouse hatch goes? By the way Abby went into her first heat in March at 14 months of age. hope to see you in the Fall

I bought one of your pups of long gone Boston and like a streak from Doug and Anne(and she is much
better looking than doug) I bought a female . And she has to be the best setter I have ever had.She is
now 3 months and extremely smart. After I had put m,y 14 year old setter Molly down ,my wife said we
will never get another dog. After I brought her home she fell in love with this pup. We named her lilly. I
thought I would e mail, you to tell you what great dogs your lines have . Probably will not hunt her much
this fall but looking to send you some pics as she gets older . Thank you , and if you talk to Doug and Anne
I hope you relay this message …Thank You Dave Aziz
Hi Lloyd,
Just thought I would let you know how pleased I am am with both dogs I got from your bloodlines. Scout ( LG BostonXLG Murphy bitch) Is really smart and very trainable. Perhaps the best I have seen and I have seen a lot. He continues to push birds right now but starting to realize he is not going to catch them and pointing more. Grouse are very plentiful and finding them is easy this time of year when the berries are out and starting to drop. I have got him on at least 50 wild birds and many Quail. In a couple weeks I will start shooting over him (Quail) and really expect him to get the picture real quick.
Mabel (LG BostonXLG Nixon bitch) She is 2 months behind but shows the same enthusiasm for birds. She loves the Quail. Finds them Quick and puts it into another gear after she does. She does show a bit more athleticism than scout but is a bit more independent also. Still wanting to please and hunts well with ME at this point. I have yet to get her on wild birds because the tall underbrush keeps her to close and I don’t want that to carry over into her adulthood. Next month (Sept) I will start going to Eustis and get her in some good bird cover she can handle at this young age. I wish she was a little older.
I will have most of October off and am lining up some good shooters right now to kill birds while I handle the dogs. There are a lot of Mountain ash berries this year as well so November and December look real good as well with the grouse populations being high.
Looking forward to getting pup from Scott Mondor this winter . He has a real good bitch and will be hunting over his dog Ghilly this fall as well a bit. Says he will be breeding to either Boston or Buck.
Real good job with your breeding over the years Lloyd. These dogs are a step up ( or two ) from the dogs we used to handle in the ‘70’s.
Best to you and your family,
Curt Cote

Hey Lloyd I got first in the horseback derby
with the tri color Long Gone Boston derby this
past weekend. It was hot, dry and tough on
the dogs but the little bugger had two broke
pheasants finds and was relentless on the
ground and a handful at pick up time!
I got first in the horseback shooting dog classic with Kevin Klein’s Texas Honey Bee so the “grouse dogs” can sure win from horseback too!
Take care,
Spencer Ray
Lloyd, Here is a pic of the Boston X Waymaker Terrific Cassie. He is now 6 months old and is the most intelligent pup that you could ever ask for. He loves to hit the cover and has a great nose. Well pleased with this pup. We will send more pics as he progresses.
Thanks for your time,
Bryan Rathbone

Subject: Update on Pemi.. Doing great as you would expect..
Hi Lloyd,
Been a while since we were last in contact but just wanted to let you know I had Pemi (Conway/Boston litter) out to north Dakota Put her on some very tough North Dakota pheasants an she was awesome as I’m sure you would have expected. She was too young to go with us to ND last year so up until now has only been hunted locally. In ND we hunt only wild birds in public walk-in’s (I can hunt stocked birds locally so only the tough smart birds if I’m driving half way across the country.) Her first point out in ND was a sneaky Rooster which was trying to get way by sneaking back through our line, She locked up on him tight and I had to release her twice to reposition on him before she finally got him pinned and I put him up.. A real thing of beauty and great handling of a crafty bird. Anyway, Long Story short, we are very pleased with her she is doing great ! Thanks Again for such a great dog !
Regards,
John Konicki

Good morning Lloyd,
While hunting in Barre, Ma. Yesterday I bumped into Steve Levesque and had the pleasure to talk to him for a few minutes. He noticed my dog and made the comment, “that’s a Long Gone Setter if ever saw one”. He was right, it’s 21 month old “Moby” buy Boston / Zeana. He’s doing awesome, i sent him to Dave Hughes in June for a couple of months. When I picked him up Dave had him broke, but he’s young and makes mistakes. Dave compared him to Your Mersadis, which was a great compliment, coming from Dave. Anyway, I’m hoping you could forward this message to Steve. I was explaining to him how good the hunting can be there for grouse, woodcock as well as the stocked pheasant but I got the feeling he didn’t believe me. Pictured below is Moby with a hen pheasant against a stone wall that afternoon and a limit of woodcock from the morning. We moved 13 woodcock and 7 grouse. The are grouse doing just fine thanks to our crappy shooting Best and thanks….

Hi Lloyd,
Spoke with Bob Lang the other night and told him how pleased I am with my Zinna two and a half year old bitch by Boston. Am thinking about another Long Gone pup this coming spring. Thought I’d check with you a see if there was any chance you might be contemplating breeding Mersadies. Know it is a long shot but thought I’d ask. Headed for Montana this October then hunting my way back to PA. Planning to take advantage of the great quail numbers in Texas this coming winter. Down to 3 dogs right now and one of them is nine. Please keep me in mind for something special this coming year.

My son purchased a female puppy from you
out of Boston and the Taylor’s Havelock female in September 2013. She is now 3 years
old and doing great. This is a picture of her
on the 2016 Utah pheasant opener. The week
before she was nailing ruffed grouse in the aspen and maples. Thanks for this amazing and
beautiful dog!
