These words of George Bird Evans capture what is at the heart of Empty Collars, a collection of writings about gun dogs, their owners, and the immutable bond between them. Losing a pet is never easy, and the connection between gun dog and owner seems to have an added intensity. Studies show that after losing a pet, owners need to go through the same stages of grief that they experience with any human loss. This anthology was created in an effort to provide empathy and comfort during this time.

Anyone who has spent time hunting ruffed grouse knows that this bird presents one of the most difficult challenges for any gun dog. Extremely wary; given to early, explosive flushes; and running ahead of the hunter, grouse routinely shame all but the best of bird dogs. But it is to dogs capable of handling such challenges that Dick Weaver had devoted his life and career. Here, he not only offers invaluable training tips but shares his hunting experiences.

The stories in this book explore the connections that develop between dogs and their owners. This special collection includes a wide range of stories, dating from the early 1930s through 2005. They run the gamut, from the histories of famous pointer Mary Montrose and well-known Irish setter Smada Byrd, to the evolution of bird dogs in New England, to very personal anecdotes that are sure to touch the reader. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this celebration of hunting dogs, field-trial dogs, and brittanys.
