Classic Gun Dog Covers from Field & Stream
I recently came across a terrific gallery of old Field & Stream covers, from 1929 to 1968, and was shocked at how many of the illustrations involved gun dogs. Of the 42 covers, roughly 75 percent of them were dog related. The cover shown here caught my eye, of course, because the dog resembles a Boykin spaniel, but best I can tell it’s a close cousin, the American Water spaniel.
Beyond that there is an image of a fall turkey hunter and his dog, lots of bird dogs, a very dramatic scene of a hound getting near-drowned by a cagey ol ‘coon, and a Lab in full leap from a duck boat.
To check out the entire gallery click here. It’s worth a look if you have a few minutes. Among the dog covers you’ll also find a few hunting scenes from Africa and the requisite missed shot on a big buck.
Enjoy them and let me know what you think of the covers and the gun dogs.

it would be very cool if F&S would do a series of retro covers on some future issues just like they used to be! i would buy a few extras besides my subscription!
that's a cool trip down memory lane!
Setter, pointer, lab, setter, pointer, lab, hound, setter, pointer, lab.
Great covers!The poor springer though.One week off then back to school in Pa.
Love the Setter covers. Good stuff!
Definetally a water spaniel.American or Irish doesnt matter its a spaniel a great dog!What drive!
kelmitch-- Totally agree...IWS or AWS...I can't be truly sure and the cover has no caption info. -D
Many talented artists. Would love to see fresh drawn art on modern covers - perhaps Jack Unruh on the cover instead of the back page. That would give Bill Heavey something to grumble about.
Have to admit - setters make great art, but it is time to see a Boykin grace the cover. Could have a choice of birds, too. Would being a cover girl model go to Pritch's head?
MLH -- Ha. We jokingly call Pritch the debutante as is, something tells me a cover might be the final straw...
they are all cool to look at but I like the AWS as well.
definitely agreed field and stream needs to do a retro cover again, seeing as they've been shaking it up the past year for there cover pictures why not go retro.
DDiB...some of us collect. Some of us save darn near everything. I can't tell you how many times I look through Dad's old Outdoor Life issues. Same for F&S.
These covers prove something; that man's best friend has always been held in the highest of esteem.
