She’s very active, loves the water and retrieved her first bumper from about 20 feet out at the reservoir yesterday.

Another sad day at Grand River Gun Dogs. Yesterday I had to help my great dog Scharrer’s Buddy cross the rainbow bridge. He had been doing pretty well recently, especially considering his age, 16 years old, but he took a turn for the worst this past week and stopped eating altogether. With that said, he had a good run, and outside of an occasional vet trip for heart worm prevention and normal checkups, he was never sick. He was sired by Fieldmaster’s Silver Dollar MH and my foundation dam, Scharrer’s Coco. He was a grandson of the great DC AFC Gamble’s Odyssey Fritz MH and one of the all time great producing females Saddle Up Hustler Von Boomer. Buddy was field hunting at the young age of 6 months old when earned his NAVHDA Natural Ability Prize 1 title with a perfect 112 points. He had a long career of bird hunting visiting North and South Dakota, Iowa, and Nebraska. At 8 years of age he competed in 3 National Bird Dog Tournaments finishing with one 2nd place and one 3rd place finish. He sired many excellent pups over the years. He had a great easy going temperament and was great around others dogs and loved attention. He was a great hunting partner and like he was named, my Buddy. I will miss him.

Picture of my Grandfather Scharrer, who took me on my first pheasant hunt, and gave me my first bird dog Blacky, a English Setter. Not sure of the exact date of photo, but it looks like he’s carrying the Ithaca Model 37 that was handed down to my dad and then me, so around late 30’s or early 40’s.

It was about this time last year when Pistol Pete suffered his back injury that left his rear legs paralyzed. He’s had a great recovery and is back to his fun loving happy self.
