REVILO'S GUNZ 'N ROSES Briar had the winter off and took in a little hunting, which she seems to enjoy. She is proving to be a very intense young lady. She is always in a hurry to accomplish her task. She managed to be number 3 in Alberta with a 65% completion rate in Qualifying and she is now qualified all age. Briar ran head to head against Nick - number 2 in Alberta and Daley (co-owned) - number 4 in Alberta and between the three dogs they accumulated 37 points of which Brian had 12. Briar is a pleasure to have around and is always eager to undertake anything that is asked of her. We look forward to her upcoming year at trials and hope to breed her later this year. Briar is owner trained and handled.

REVILO'S CUTTING EDGE Nick had the winter off and took up a little hunting, which he seems to have an aptitude for. He started out the Qualifying season with a third in his first trial and continued by finishing the year with a win. He accumulated 17 points making him number 2 in Alberta . He is easy to run. He ran head to head against Briar, number 3 in Alberta and Daley (co-owned) number 4 in Alberta, and between the three of them they accumulated 37 points. During Nick's derby year in 2005 he accumulated 25 points and was number 1 in Alberta and number 5 in Canada. He has the same marking ability as his brother Mike (Revilo's Y2K Micro Chip). He is a very intelligent, intense young man. Nick has sired two litters to date and we are looking forward to watching his progeny run this upcoming year. Nick is owner trained and handled.

Gator also competed in both Canadian National Championships completing 6 and 7 series. Gator had another successful year in 2003, acquiring 20 all age points. Her trial season was however cut short due to an injury, but she still managed to make the top ten in Canada being # 8 on the combined list. Gator ran a limited trial season in 2004, with the highlight being a finalist at the National Amateur. Gator was hunted extensively and was a specialist at upland birds. She was owner trained and handled. Gator passed away unexpectedly on April 25, 2006 and we miss her immensely. She took a piece of our hearts with her.
