Here's Chesty!

Here's the first pic of "Chesty", Super GSP pup. Born Feb 4, 2000. He's got a big, square, all-liver head like Manny did, but he'll be whiter than Remy. His mom's a beauty - big, long-legged and with a nice, long muzzle. One of 5 males and 5 females in the litter, they all have great dispositions. His papers read Prairie's DevilDog Winchester, but Chesty will be his call name. Coming home March 24, 2000.

This is Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller, most heroic and legendary of all Marines. Now there's a heck of a burden to place on the dog.....

Nose at work...good sign.

Chesty's mom.

In a potentially embarrasing moment, Chesty gives sister the smack down for typically sisterly behavior.

Here's the future gundog! He's photogenic at least, let's hope he hunts.

The fellas line up for a family protrait. Chesty is about 4 months old here.

Chesty at one year. Did his mom make it with a giraffe?

Chesty's first point. Took Remy and Chesty for a light pheasant hunt at the local hunt club. Chesty didn't do too much, didn't do too badly at finding birds but got a bit confused over all those noisy, cackling roosters. He'll learn!

Winchester on point during training at the Prairie.

Well, he isn't perfect. He decided to spend the New Year with Budweiser.

Two fine birddogs, looking forward to fall.....
