Diego Earns His First Points
Now that hunting season is over, and Diego
can be plucked from the field to do some other work, Diego
finally competed in his first dog show. His first weekend
out at the dog show earned him 2 points. There were lots of
distractions for a young dog the first time in the ring. But
Diego overcame the excitement and behaved like an
experienced veteran on the show circuit. His success is a
strong tribute to all the work that Ryan has put in so far
with obedience and training. Who says hunting dogs can
compete in the show ring.
Trey Earns His 10th Point
Trey - Firepoint Texas Twister has become
the third puppy to earn a CKC conformation championship
before the age of 12 months. Trey earns his final 2 points
at the December CKOC show. Trey is growing up nicely and is sure
to become a strong powerful dog as he matures.
Got'em by the Shorthairs Shows Stavely how
it's done
Sure is was all for a good cause. The
Stavely Elks hosted the 2nd annual Stavely Pheasant Derby in
November. 2 days of socializing and hunting were sure to
test the strength of 6 men, 12 dogs, and 50 pheasants. While
only 23 birds were recovered by the team, we stand by the
statement that it was our intention to ensure enough birds
escaped the buckshot to further strengthen the wild bird
populations in the area. Even still, we managed to recover
the prized purple leg band worth entry to the draw for a
$4000 cash. Sure, we didn't win much prize money, only $250
for the "longest cock" award......tail feathers that is.
We're sure to be back next year to show them how it's done.
Cabela has become the second Firepoint puppy
from our recent litter to earn her CKC conformation at the
Calgary AKC show in September. A strong young dog sets the
example for her littermates. Her next challenge, maybe a
hunting title, or even an obedience title.
August 27,2 006 at the age of just 9 months,
Geneva is the first Firepoint puppy to earn a CKC
conformation Championship. Competing at the Cranbrook Dog
Show, being judged by Virginia Lyne, Geneva took Best of
Opposite Sex over a specials bitch, a proud accomplishment
for us
