This is Kimber she is almost 2 years old. She is HR titled and running for Her HRCH this spring but most importantly she is a duck and dove hunting enthusiast. Soon we will be working on upland training as well as deer tracking and shed hunting. She has the potential to be an all around great dog. (Photo Credit Jay Schwisow)
This is my 12 year old Nestle. She doesn’t have any fancy titles or letters in front of her name but she’s got a PHD in duck and dove hunting. I couldn’t guess how many birds she’s picked up over the years. She has just been an all around outstanding dog. She is Exbellicus’ pup’s dam.
Meet Nelly. 50 lbs of pure rocket. We "rescued" her from a kennel at 3. She had done nothing but compete up until that point. We wanted a well mannered dog who was friendly with all and would do anything on command. Nelly's so much more than that. Not only is she a world-class retriever, she's aslo sweet and very smart. She blood trails deer and can find sheds. The latter two came natural. She's 7 now and still has a lot of puppy in her. Happiest dog I've ever known.
Her sire is Westshore Gunner. Dam is Storms Prize. Their parents are Maxx's Surprise and Nick of Time. Nelly's great granparents are Lean Mac and Chena River, for those into pedigrees.
Bocephus as a pup and a few years later when he found his original bed in our garage. He is five now, had TPLO surgery in January, but is feeling good now.
