Finally got the camera out. Had great time except my pup had a super day Mon. then went south on me this morning. 7 covies (6 pointed) Mon. and three more in two hours this morning. Any tail comments and I'll come through the screen at you, Dixie is long boring story but I've lived with that tail for nine years. Belle came up with limber tail Monday and the only good shot I got off her was this morning. My old gal Dixie on a Spur Covy, they were way out in front of her. The shadow is me, I look better as a shadow. Ace pup on a bunch (Mon)I killed a tree Dixie on a covy that got away but I shot heck out of another tree Ace on the infamous yucca covy, there was several birds in the yucca and the rest out front in the grass Belle doing her best on a covy this morn., limber tail and all The pup on the the last covy of the day Monday

Dixie was that way at birth, she's out of an Elhew bitch you know well in Kansas. I wanted a pup out of the litter so bad I took the last female and drove from GA. to Kansas to get her. On the way I told my ex (emphasis on the ex) wife that she would either be an ugly runt or have the worst tail in the universe. It taught me the power of words.............Luckly she turned out to be one heck of a birddog, but the tail has been the same for 9 years. Send Viagra.

Several friends went together and paid to breed Elehw Lou to Snakefoot. There were 7 pups in the litter. Bryce Feaming owned Lou. He kept Jill (Elhew Sunflower, horseback SD of the year for several years), and a pup with a crooked tail. I thought that pup died at a young age.
Where did your pointer come from?

Dixie's mom was Belle, a littermate to Sunflower and a multiple NSTRA champ herself. Her sire was Elhew Phantom.

Dixie's mom was Belle, a littermate to Sunflower and a multiple NSTRA champ herself. Her sire was Elhew Phantom. Got it!!!!! She was a littermate to Sage. We're almost cousins. My current pup was to be out of Sage, by a Kansas dog named, Ike. Sage never came in heat after her ACL, so I got Cracker out of MoTown. Sage is a Kansas NSTRA regional cahmpion. Here you go; Registered Nbr: 1538117 Owner: JOHN MITCHELL Registered Name: MITCHELL'S ELHEW SAGE Callname: SAGE Breed: English Pointer Region: MK Sex: F Date Whelped: Sunday, May 20, 2001 Sire: ELHEW PHANTOM Dam: SNAKEFOOT'S ELHEW BELLE Number of Times Open Champion: 2 Date of Championship: Sunday, April 03, 2005 Total Open Points: 53 John Mitchell is a great guy. I have him in my address book. I'll email this link to him. This is Floyd. He's a littermate to Dixie.

Can't really tell from the picture but there was one male pup in that litter that was a horse compared to the rest. May have been Floyd.

That's Tom Mitchell in the picture with Floyd. He lived near me for awhile, then moved up to dripping Springs. I love that pup in the last picture. What's the breeding on that one?

Didn't know Mitchell moved from Kansas? Ace is Elhew Cassidy top and bottom.

This is the Kate dog (Dixie's sister) I got from Bryce. She was a fine dog, suffered from Addisons at 7 and then blew out both knees. May never get another one like her........outstanding bird finder, pointed birds at redicules distances. Robin took her north and sent her home like a statue at the flush and shot, and she could run like the wind.

Kate looks a lot like Sage. Sage blew out a couple of ACLs. It must run in the breeding. I think John spent $10,000 on ACLs. It's been a topic of discussion by Tom and me.

There's a method to my madness. I was trolling for new forum members. I emailed this thread to a half dozen NSTRA members. Look at the views. Sorry if I bored you!!!!!!!!

Nice pics Chet. Ace is a spitting image of my uncle's Duke dog that I hunted behind when I was 8 years old (carrying a Red Ryder). Broomweed crop looks pretty solid near Spur. I am headed to Wellington tomorrow night then hunting south of Turkey on Sunday to get in a couple of days, will let you guys know how I do. They got a light rain today and temps look great for this weekend... hopefully the quail gods will cooperate.
