Irish's Gravel Creek Molly -'Molly'

Molly is 10 years old this hunting season. She is out of Ch. Irish's Majestical Maxwell & Ch. Irish's Grand Duchess. These photos were taken after an Opening Day hunt on Saginaw Bay. Owner Elbert Rush writes: " We would not have found one bird without a dog. Hid in the thickest cover you could imagine after being hit. Molly dug it out of the base of a muskrat hut where it was trying to hide. The redhead she went with my buddy for about a 1/4 mile walk after it swam off and kept diving, but the water wasn't deep enough for it to get completely away. She did a mighty fine job."

Irish's Gravel Creek Warrior - 'Duncan' Duncan is 3 years old this season. He is out of Am/Can Ch. Irish's Northwyns Navigator CD JH & Irish's Gravel Creek Molly. He lives in northern Michigan with his owners Elbert & Connie Rush.

Marshlans Stunn Gunner JH - 'Taser' Taser is 2 1/2 years old this hunting season. He is out of HRCH Ch. Irish's Hard Chargin St. Pete SH & Marshlans Brandy. He is pictured here with his owner Dave Gean after a hunt at Fish Point.
