Phil, I am not sure if you have children and even if you don't I highly suggest a fewbooks from Jim Kjelgaard, his "Big Red" series. I read them over and over growing up and they definitely fueled my love of the outdoors. Irish Setters are the focal points of the stories.

Beautiful dog you have there. I hunt my Springer in NH and while she is really an awesome bird dog and family member, I do love those classy and stylish pointers!
