Yes, it's a Bay Dog. I have two. They are a rare breed here in Britain but I have had four so far and bred one litter. I work them for myself and also pick up with them at some big driven shoots. We have been on the grouse moors today and got well wet into the bargin.
Goosander not ringed; must be a trick of the light. I don't shoot them for food, don't worry on that score. They are a protected species here but I get a special license to shoot a certain number each year for Fishery protection purposes.
No, I could not find much on F. Doumulin. This particular gun has the name of a British Army Officer engraved on the trigger guard. He served with the Royal Engineers in the last war so I wondered if it had been 'liberated' at some time. It is a nice gun and in good condition. Lagopus.....
