My Father and Grandfather were avid bird hunters and I tagged along on many occasions. My earliest childhood memory is of watching from atop my Grandfather's shoulders as my Father walked up to an English Pointer on point and flushed the birds, Bobwhite Quail. From that point on I have been fascinated with gun dogs. By the time I was old enough to carry a gun afield, the Bobwhite Quail was no longer numerous enough to warrant maintaining a kennel of bird dogs. Although most of my early hunting years were spent in pursuit of big game (deer, turkey, etc.) I never lost my fascination with gun dogs.</font><p> <font face="Trebuchet MS" size="2">While in the U.S. Navy I read an article by Larry Mueller titled <i>The Versatile Uglydog</i>. Upon reading about the Deutsch Drahthaar, I knew that this was the dog for me. After a brief and disappointing trial with an AKC German Wirehaired Pointer, I saw an ad in <i> Quail Unlimited</i> and contacted Jim Grady of Opelika, AL. Dr. Grady was the current chairman of the VDD/GNA. He explained the philosophy of the VDD and promptly put me in touch with a registered kennel. I purchased my first VDD pup, Anna vom Highview, "Annabelle." She surpassed all of my expectations and quickly became a valued hunting companion and a treasured family member.</font><p> <span lang="en-us"><font face="Trebuchet MS" size="2">Moorehaus is a
