The Museum contains an exquisite display of Count Noble, the Llewellin Setter which is considered the great progenitor of several winning Field Trial setters in this country.  The exhibit was donated to the National Bird Dog Museum by the Carnegie Museum in Philadelphia, PA in 1999. Count Noble was whelped August, 1879 and died January, 1891.

The Museum’s Taxidermy Room is a favorite for class field trips.  Pictured here is a portion of the taxidermy room showing a wall mural by Tennessee artist Mary Spellings and mounted specimens of Birds of Prey, Bobcat, and Coyote, etc.

Missing the Master is the title of this life-sized bronze statue of an English Springer Spaniel  which is one of the newest additions to the front grounds of the Museum.  The statue was commissioned to memorialize former Bird Dog Foundation Board of Director Member, Mr. Henry Henriques, from Orr, Minnesota, who served as a board member for six years.  Mr. Henriques passed away in 2003.  The statue, created by artist Walter Matia,  was dedicated February 9, 2008 during the Field Trial Hall of Fame activities.
