Hi oskar,
I got Dixie and my first AWS back in the 80's from Swan Lake Kennels in Pardeeville, WI. They are also gone now.
I have a pal in South Carolina that is breeding them for hunting. He's been doing it for several years now and his dogs are great hunters and field trial champions.
If you'd like you can PM me for his contact info.

Hi all, went out this weekend with Wade Burns for a little sharptail hunting. Hunting was okay, saw birds and got some, but they are starting to get a bit spooky. Still, had a good time and lots of laughs as usual. A very enjoyable trip! My boys and Wade with the days bag. BTW, Wades dog Lakota just earned her VC NAVHDA title. She's a great dog to hunt with. My Raina, still needs work!!! Duchess (not pictured) is still going strong for a 13 yr old. Thanks Wade for a fun time! Best! Greg

Love seeing all these photos. Here is the first woodcock of the season, west central ME - earlier today. My friend's 2 yr old setter is in the middle who, after a short episode of run-oft, settled in and managed to put up 11 WC and 7 grouse (I ain't saying how many hit the ground ). My friend has his father's AyA XXV 20 ga. and I am shooting my CSMC A10 20 ga.
Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.

Hi all, went out after work today to a place close to home. Saw quite a few birds, but they are getting spooky. That time of year. I was able to limit in a hour and a half, so it was a good day. Glad I live where I do! Used my 16ga Carl Goluch Best! Greg

My Sons and I went here last week for some chukar and took an incidental quail in an unlikely spot. There was a tiny patch of wet on the high cliffs with a thick clump of every type of thorny weed known to man. A group of these little guys got up and I managed to scratch one down. We started the day at the river by the way. This is my chukar gun, a Model 30 Uggie.

May God bless America and those who defend her.

Miss Tilly and Mr. Evans last weekend in northern WI. She had a dozen good solid points on woodcock but she has a ways to go on grouse. She has not figured out that she can't get that close to grouse. I'm very happy with her progress at 18 months old.

Today was such a nice day that I decided to go out again after work (I really decided this yesterday!). Anyway, old Duchess and I walked another piece of property and we were able to limit in an hour or so. She pointed a single, got that one, then a while later pointed a nice group of 8 or so birds, managed to get a double out of that group. A very good day with a great dog. This time I brought my camera! Duchess with a couple of the birds: I used my 12ga SIACE 350G (a self cocking, ejector gun): Best! Greg
