Holly lived in Montana, where shows, much less majors, were scarce. Her owner sent her to be shown by me in California, where she finished easily with 3 majors She was briefly shown as a special, winning several Bests of Breed in the Spring of 1993 (one shown here). At that time we acquired Rock, who was bred by Holly's owner. She agreed to let me lease Holly for her first litter, and breed her to Rock. The resulting litter produced three outstanding Champions shown farther down this page.

"Reno" was more than a bit wild, and his owner didn't know what to do with him. She knew he was gorgeous but couldn't control him in the show ring.; She asked if she could send him to me and see what I could do with him. I decided to use his ultra-alertness and energy to his advantage, and entered him in a few shows. He was a REAL handful, but finished in less than 10 shows, third place once and otherwise always Winners or Reserve.

Katie also got an early start in the show ring, winning her first major with a BOS over specials from the puppy class, and finished easily with 4 majors. Dave Lachance broke her and was running her in Gun Dog stakes when she was accidentally bred, and was unable to complete her field title since Dave later decided to stop training Brittanys. Bred to Ch. Hybrittin's Buffalo Bonz, Katie produced Ch. SMR Rincon Vista Duchess CD JH AX AXJ, and Princess Haley II who gave us our superstar, Taryn.

I kept Axel in hopes of finding a show home for him. He won Best in Sweepstakes his first time out, later won his (big) 12-15 months class at the ABC National in 1995, then won 2nd Money Male at the Western Futurity in 1996. He was a dynamo in the field, and won two juvenile field trial placements. Although Axel was very nice, he was not the caliber of Rock or Chase, so I chose to find him a good pet/hunting home, where he was very happy hunting and playing with the kids throughout his long life.

A regular beach runner and a true monster, "Sassy Sadie" was always hard as a rock and ready to go. With gorgeous true, sound, straight movement, she was always in contention in the show ring, but the beach wreaked havoc on her coat and she never had any featherings...she took a bunch of major Reserves, but no points. I showed her in Bred By Exhibitor at the ABC National Specialty in 1996, where she won a huge, beautiful Bred By Exhibitor class and then got Reserve Winners Bitch. I took a break from dog shows for a few years after that show, so this beautiful girl never finished her Championship. And I was so taken away by Rock winning the national that year, I forgot to get a picture of Sadie's Reserve win, so we don't even have a show photo of her!

Owned by Don McNabb

Frankie is Chase's son that we co-owned with his breeders (Dawn & Joe Droel) for three years. He finished easily in the show ring with 4 majors including 2 specialty wins, with big accomplishments at the ABC Summer and National specialties along the way. He was Best in the ABC Western Futurity show in February 2003. In the summer of 2004 he went back to Minnesota to be specialed by Dawn, winning multiple Bests of Breed and a Sporting Group First.

Frankie is a beautiful, intense bird dog who finished his Junior Hunter title easily and placed three times in Derby field trial stakes. He was my best buddy and went everywhere with me for a couple of years, but when it became apparent that he had more potential than I had time to devote to his field work, I made the decision to find him a new home where he would be as loved and spoiled as he was with me, and also be able to continue in the field. He has found that with his new owner, Don McNabb of Glendale, Arizona, where he is properly spoiled and now working toward his Master Hunter title. We wish them the very best!

Steel was the pick puppy from Halley's first litter. He was promised before he was born to a breeder in Australia who was hoping to bring some new blood into their country. Steel grew up in the US for his first year, then went to Australia to become a show champion and valued sire. He has already accomplished both of those and is enjoying his life "down under".
