Gordons were originally tri-color along with the possibilities of Gordons being black with tan (preferably reddish mahogany cast), liver and tan (where the black has been muted to a liver color), and red, where the tan and black areas have a solid red effect. The nose colors will also vary.

My British field-bred "Daisy Mae" (F) and half-British show-bred "Spud" (M) have been VetGen tested and are both pure black and tan (no recessive red or liver genes). "VetGen uses molecular biology techniques to analyze DNA for mutations and variations to determine the absence or presence of hereditary diseases or traits, e.g., coat color."

My main goal is on breeding biddable Gordons with fine temperaments, true Gordon type and the ability to do what Gordons were bred to do - hunt game. Beyond that my focus is on obedience, having three Gordon specialty high-in-trial Gordons, two of which I've bred. I do field (hunt test) work and have one Beauty, Brains and Birdsense awarded Gordon, who I also showed in conformation, the judgement of beauty, structure and movement.

For now, enjoy a softened scanned bitmap image of the fine, detailed art work by California artist Janet Zepf of "Gambit," my starter male and cornerstone of my kennel.
