Everyone that loves a dog will enjoy reading this book by my close friend for over 30 years, D. Hoyle Eaton.

Hoyle tells the story of his work with the dogs that he trained to the championship level, as well as passing on some valuable training technical instructions about how to raise and train such throughbreds.

When you read this book you can feel the excitment not only of bird hunting but going through the Field Trials with these magnificent animals. You will enjoy these dogs and their intelligence just as Hoyle did. There are stories of animals and people told in this book that will move you deeply. And there are many, many pictures in this book.

However, the book isn't simply limited to his experiences with top-notch field dogs; relationships with people have been an important factor in Eaton's life. He writes about how those relationships have profited him in more ways than the financial. His wife and sons have chapters dedicated to them, and he's included some poetry penned by his friend W.R. "Dick" Brown.

He also discusses the qualities that a competent ALL AGE judge should possess and looks to the future of both the sport and the immpact that genetic experimentation could have on bird dogs.

Finally, I want to say "Thanks, Hoyle for writing this book." --Fred Gaines
