Sounds like a good one, and one I will incorporate into my breeding if I get a chance. Dogs like this need to be recognized - producers aren't always the big name dogs in somebody's big time string, particularly in setters. They come from anywhere.

: Quick Fairway Bob - 5yr old English Setter
: male owned by Don Kimble of Andover, KS, has
: one of the best records in America this
: field trial season. He has ran 13 times,

: He was 1st at Ardmore Okla against 23
: pointers and Runner Up Champion at Region 17
: against 42 competitors and 7 or 8 of them
: were multiple shooting dog champions on the

: minutes of his hour stakes going away, out
: the front door, with more than enough left
: in his tank.
: His breeding is not bad either. His father
: placed 11 times and has Larry Hedge's great

: twice in his pedigree. "Jack"
: produced great trial dogs in every litter he
: ever sired. He is a brother of Hall of Fame

: female with over 70 placements on her
: children. She is also on the father's side
