Robin and Butch have been a winning team for decades. And Robin's pedigree is one of the best all-time, John S., John Rex and now Robin have brought some of the best bird dog flesh to the line of anyone in the game. Robin talked about how Butch treated everyone the same, like family and the two or three times I was around Robin he made me feel like I was special and my dogs were special. Hell my dogs didn't even run a good shooting dog race much less an AA race but he worked them like they did. He and Butch will both be missed when they're not around. I have a hand written letter from Robin sent from Canada back in 2002 that I need to get framed and on the wall. Robin and Butch, heck of a team.

Dug it out last night and found I have two. Will take a pic and see if it's readable.

I'm still digging for the other letters, put them where I wouldn't lose them and lost them. 2010 This is when I sent my Ace dog up. Never get over having sold her, she was a good kind of dog.  2003 Bill you know about these two, littermates out of Mitchell's dog in Kansas.

Robin is a wonderful gentleman. It was a pleasure to speak with him on several occasions while booking a breeding to Shadow Oak Bo.
