[QUOTE="svnmag, post: 67822, member: 330"] [B]The Tale of Rags[/B] Dog in the middle (above) looks like "Rags" (except for the blue eyes) the best upland dog ever was in the Hills. My gawd I used to love hunting with this boy and his owner's Baker Bros 16ga on "loan" from his granddad. Never has a dog busted so much brush. He was a "pointer" and loved the kill.
