A GREAT BOOK BY ONE OF HE GREATS
By D. Blankenship
In his life time, Jim Kjelgaard wrote well over forty novels for young or juvenile readers; most of which dealt with animals, in particular dogs. Most of his writing was done in the late 1940s and early 1950s. As a young man I must admit I devoured these books, giving most of them multiple readings. Several of these "youth books" had a rather profound effect on my life. The three books dealing with Irish Setters, e.g. Big Red, Irish Red and this one being reviewed here, Outlaw Red, ingrained into me a love for dogs that has lasted a life time. A fourth book, Wildlife Photographer started a life time hobby which I pursue to this day.
Outlaw Red, Son of Big Red is the story of an Irish Setter who was born to hunt but was unlucky enough to be a bit too perfect. Rather than doing the job he was born to do, he is made into a much pampered show dog and is more or less doomed to a life in a kennel. I have more to say about this later. As it might be expected to happen (Kjelgaard's books were all pretty predictable), Outlaw Red is accidentally released into the Canadian wild and is forced to live on his own, using his instincts, wits and a generous amount of good luck. This is your basic boy dog books and is arguably one of the best in this genre. Big Red, the first of the Setter series was and is the most famous, largely due to the Disney film of the early 1960s, but I, like many, feel this was a better read than the first or second books in the series.
As with most of his books, the author more or less tells the story through the eyes of the animal or animals concerned. He, the author, has tremendous descriptive power and was a natural story teller. The story here is crisp, well told and is truly a page turner. Now I will be the first to admit that some of the circumstances encountered in this read stretch credibility just a bit, but hey folks, this is a story for young men and women. I read and enjoyed Harry Potter, but I doubt if any sane individual, young or old, believed ever word that Rawlings wrote. A big part of being a great story teller is the ability to present unlikely circumstances in a light that is completely believable, or at least make the tale interesting; Kielgaard is a master at this technique.
This book, and the others by this author, are ideal reads for young people. Most of them are still in print and I note after checking with the public and school libraries, that they have quite a large following even to this day. Don't make our kid read them or he/she will hate them, but let them discover them for themselves. These are very clean books and teach so many good and desirable traits for a young person to grow into.
PURE PERSONAL COMMENT: I of course have been around dogs all of my life and in fact have owned Irish Setters. When I was young, two of the best gun dogs that I ever shot over were Irish Setters and at the same time were some of the best family dogs that you could imagine. They were a magnificent breed! Alas, this was their downfall though. They became very popular and became the darling of dog shows. There are still a few hunting blood lines out there that have held true, but they have become few and far between. The "pet" setter and the "show" setter are still sweet, loveable and goofy dogs, but to be honest they have had their brains bred completely right out of them, and most of them have trouble finding the end of their own leash. In addition to that, the puppy mill people jumped on the bandwagon and this particular breed is now plagued with a plethora of physical problems from hip dysplasia to epilepsy, (extremely common in this breed, almost to the point of being an epidemic), and everything in between. Again, there are good lines out there, but good luck in finding them. For goodness sakes do not buy from the puppy mill people or pet shops. If you do, you are likely in for a lot of heartbreak. Now you quite well may have an Irish Setter that is quite perfect, healthy, smart and wonderful...I truly hope so, but to be honest, you are one of the fewer and fewer lucky ones. If you happen to be one of those that are churning these wonderful animals out by the hundreds with no care as to breeding standards and health concerns, ad selling to the pet shop folks, then I have nothing but distain and ill will toward you. And I will tell you right now, telling me that I don't know what I am talking about here would be a lot like telling Noah that he knew nothing of the flood.
Anyway, do your kid a favor and turn them on to this one and other by the same author!Actually, you would probably like this one yourself!

OUTLAW RED
By A Customer
Far out in the Wintapi Wildness there is a breeding farm for Irish Setters. The top dog on the farm is Sean, a big flawless red Irish Setter. Running the farm is Ross his son Danny and a kennel boy named Billy. Late one night Billy has a argument with someone he has known his whole life. Then something happened were Billy has to run away and become a outlaw. Shortly after that Sean is sent to another farm to breed with their top dog Penny. On the trip miles into the wilderness the cage falls off a truck. Sean has never been on his own without the care of his friend Billy. Sean soon learns that without man, food will be his first challenge in the wild. After many months in the wild he finds his way to his original destination and his mate to be Penny. Where his adventure into the wild continues and he meets up with an old friend. My thoughts are that the book was one of the best I have ever read because it deals with some one who has been tossed into the wild and has to learn to survive on his own. I give it 5 stars.

Outlaw Red ,Full of action
By A Customer
My favorite book I have read this year is Outlaw Red by Jim Kejelgaard, although I can't say I have read it because I'm still reading it. Outlaw Red is about a show dog named Sean, who wants to be a hunting dog like his father Big Red. The book tells you how Sean dreams about running and hunting with his favorite trainer Danny Picket. He finally gets his wish, but not the way Sean expected! Sean was on the way to a show in an old rickety truck, when the truck jolted and he bursted out the back end of the truck. Not long after he was thrown into the wild, Sean starts to feel a gaping hole where companionship should be. On his adventures he runs across an Irish Setter, like himself, named Penny. After awhile Penny and Sean fall in love, and the only thing standing between them is a chicken wire fence. After much planning Penny finds a way to jump the fence. Penny and Sean are free to run in the wild.
