Our new addition
My son, Wyatt, and I got back Monday night with our new ES puppy. Wyatt has named him Jelly Bean. He's 7 1/2 wks old and actually hit a nice 4 second point when we were walking around and he saw the breeders quail in the flight pen. I felt like a proud new papa. We got this pup from Spin Top Kennels http://www.spintopkennel.com/ in extreme north/central Alabama. Mr. David Holt is a teacher and retired coach who raises EPs, GSPs, ESs, and Brits. This pup is from his second breeding by his Buffy and Sarge, both are registered FDSB.
I must say that I am extremely impressed with this pup so far. He is very friendly and smart, but I can not get over how bold he is. We came back to south Louisiana by way of the Mississippi River levee and stopped several times to let the pup and boy romp and stretch their legs. This puppy has gone up and down that levee a couple dozen times at least, and been stepped on and for a good ole fashion kid draggin' too. Of course there is still a lot of ground to cover, but I am highly impressed with this pup, who has yet to have an accident, and also very impressed with the breeder. We had the deposit down before the litter was even whelped, and Mr. Holt was great with the communication and sending us pics. He even had a really nice info packet for us when we left. His pups are also VERY reasonably priced. I'd certainly recommend him to anyone looking.
Enough talk, here are some pics.
And he's even just about gun broke

Two cannibals were eating a clown. One looks up at the other and says, "Does this taste funny to you?"

Nothing better than a boy, a BB gun, and a puppy. Looks like a Norman Rockwell picture.
Speak kindly to me, beloved master. Revel in my unconditional love, and give me every minute that you can spare, for my time with you is short.

Wow, i am having flashbacks!
I was nine when I got my first english setter pup. He was a ringer for your pup. Some ticking, a full black mask, and endless energy so we could wear each other out. I named him bandit, which was fitting. Your pictures brought back alot of great memories, and I am sure your son will gain those over the pups life. Your a very special dad for bringing that joy into your sons life. Not to mention, you have another hunting buddy....never a bad thing
Good luck and keep us updated!

The world needs more good dads like you!
I got my son a pup when he was just a little older. I have ZERO regrets and lots of positive memories from that time.
Enjoy both of them, they grow up awfully quickly!
