Shadowfax Casey Jones

Thought by many folks to be the best moving Gordon ever!

FC/AFC Belmor's Knight (Austin Sumner) x Shadowfax Midnight Promise, Casey exemplified the look and run of a canine athlete. Almost given away as a puppy, the only thing that saved him was that there were no takers.
Casey won every Open Puppy stake he ran in his first season. Casey finished his Open Field Championship early, and went on to win the National Open Shooting Dog Championship, an American Field event!
Like most of the great ones, Casey could be a handful to handle, but, handle he did..

So hats off to Casey Jones.. one of the all time great Gordons.

  1. No pic, Bill?! Dang. Anyways, nice to see someone still championing hard-running Gordons.

  2. I'm working on a new printer/scanner/ copier Andrew..
    Had to jump through hoops with the old scanner, and if I didn't do it every day, I'd forget and have to learn all over again...
    I've got an impressive picture of Casey here also!

  3. Looking forward to seeing it. Have seen some nice pics of his descendants, but it would great to see the dog himself.
