This is my Daisy, she is a three year old runt Visla. She is being boundary trained here and looks very nice in the red harness.
She is a hunting fool, hunts anything you ask her too plus much of what you don't want her too. Here she has a turtle from the field.

Brilliant Al!!! Love the photographs and the comments.  I take it she never did catch the mole? She obviously had a great time trying though. 
Keep the photographs coming as I really enjoy seeing them.

This is Bosco, he is a four year old Springer. He is also a hard headed male that wants to do as he wishes and not what you want. Since he will go explore he wears the harness on nearly all our walks.
He does smile at me a lot when he is happy.
Likes to lay in his inside pen so the breeze will blow on his belly.

This is Chip, she has a spanish name on her papers that transslates into a Bit Of Chocolate ie Chip.
She is going to be 11years old in just a few days. she loves water and shares her pool if dad yells at her. She also loves to play fetch and is mad in theis picture because I put her kong on the hood of the truck.
Chip also doesn't like to have her picture taken.

Al you have some wonderful dogs there. Who's the 'leader of the pack' Jewel, Daisy, Bosco or Chip? You know the one who'll lead the others into mischief given half a chance.  They must be quite a handful at times but you soooo obviously love them all to bits and who can blame you? They really are a lovely bunch.  Thank you for sharing them with us.

I too enjoyed your pics a lot Al especially the comments. I feel like I've known these dogs all my life
I loved the turtle shot. Did Daisy bring the turtle back to you? Hope she didn't hurt it 
I like dogs like Bosco who have a hard head but I have more of a soft spot for the clumsy variety because they make me laugh so much. Which is the clumsiest of the bunch?

All the kids other than Chip are pound puppies. If I could afford it I would save them all. I'm the leader of the pack as I make every effort not to let them get into trouble. Daisy I let free range when we are on our daily run/walks. She like the others has been boundary trained so stays with in bounds but some times runs way ahead of us to tree a squirrel. When she gets to barking at it the others run ahead to see what all the ruckus is all about. So I guess one could say Daisy is the leader into trouble. Bosco is always on the check cord when we do our morning and nightly run/walks because if he has a sister other than Chip loose with him he breaks the boundary and only comes home when he is ready too. He runs free with just Chip out and is fine as she will not break boundary.
Jewel is my special baby, I even named her baby till I relized I called all the other girls baby. She was such an abused tiny thing when we got her, afraid of every thing.
She to this day spends her resting times in the tinyest closed in place she can find. She at 60 pounds still thinks she should be on my lap getting petted when I am sitting outside. She is the clumsy one I'd guess if I had to chose one.

When Chip is swiming I can get pictures of her. She is a water dog. She had her 11th birthday yesterday.
