Home of beautiful working dogs
This month I am happy to report that the kiddo Pie did a perfectly fine job in the field to win the WCA Eastern Classic Open Puppy stake and Tacoma did just dandy in making Challenger’s round of the uber competitive AKC National Agility Trial. Congratulations to both of these pups and their handlers.
Rizz and Breyer both applied their noses to university campus lawns, sidewalks and parking lots in passing one hour old CKC Urban Tracking Dog tests – Rizz with speed, accuracy and determination and Breyer with perseverance, patience and focus. Congratulations to both of these savvy sniffers!
These fine field trial dogs all notched senior field trial stakes wins this month. Radar was piloted by pro trainer Todd Yamamoto to a 4 point major AKC Open Limited Gun Dog stake win. Avy, in her broke stake debut, gave the pointers and setters a piece of her mind with an American Field Open Shooting Dog stake win, guest handled by Lisa DeLeonardo, and Sage was owner trained and handled to an AKC Open Gun Dog stake win. Congratulations to everyone involved in these successes.
These three yearlings have established equal competitiveness in both show and field events. Alley added to her Show Championship a pair of GCH major wins and a NAVHDA Natural Ability test maximum 112 score. Singas garnered a bunch of AKC show points and then won an all breed Puppy field trial stake and Dusty Rose added to her Grand Championship a Senior Hunter title. Congratulations gals and their entire support teams!
In a simply sensational 2020 Reign completed Field and Amateur Field Championships, won a 24 dog all breed Open Limited Gun Dog stake, a WCA Regional Amateur Gun Dog Classic and the National Amateur Gun Dog Championship. Reign’s many field trial wins and placements throughout the year put her in the #1 spot for the Weimaraner Club of America year end All Age/Gun Dog standings. Best of all Reign has been exclusively amateur-owner trained and handled to all of these accolades. Next stop for Reign is motherhood with a litter due in March, 2021.

Using their keen noses and staunch commitment to the task these Trax’ters all recently earned CKC Tracking titles. The eager beavers Fable, Esme, Kenni and Ivy all zipped along their assigned tracks faithfully indicating the article at the end to Tracking Dog titles and the savvy sniffers Prim, Breyer and Mick could not be deterred from the designated path on tracks aged over three hours with multiple articles nor tempted by diversionary cross-tracks to attain Tracking Dog Excellent titles. Congratulations all!
For the notable achievement of attaining multiple perfect 100/100 scores en route to CKC Water Dog Junior titles this month, the spotlight salutes Beck, Breyer, Fable and Mick, terrific swimmers and fetchers all.
Socks applied her hallmark application, style and classy manners to breeze to a Weimaraner Club of America Shooting Dog Excellent Rating, with thanks to guest handler Carmen Spencer, and the go-getter Ocean jumped, twisted and turned to multiple Excellent level AKC Agility titles in a sea of blue ribbons. Kudos to these fine working ladies!

Loren hunted, honored, fetched and swam her way to a CKC Field Dog Excellent title with a top score of 95/100. Trace notched a CKC Field Dog title with a top score of 97/100 and Breyer completed a CKC Field Dog Junior title with a great run and her staunch and stylish birdwork to another perfect 100/100 score.

This month we congratulate some very talented gals with notable recent achievements. Reign achieved her AKC Field Championship, and better yet she achieved this title entirely amateur owner trained and handled, with many all breed placements and wins along the way demonstrating throughout her hallmark athleticism, passion for birds, intelligent application and perfect manners. The upstart Addie earned her puppy points with an all breed Open Puppy stake win of the very first field trial stake she entered. Petra and CJ both enjoyed tremendous success during their own competitive field trial careers and now these retirees have both been accorded WCA Field Register of Merit designations for establishing themselves as being equally successful as producers of offspring with superior field ability.
Tread and Dillon are brothers that have have done some big field trial winning lately. Tread won an all breed horseback Amateur Gun Dog stake for the final retrieving point that was needed to finish both his AKC Field and Amateur Field Championships. Meanwhile, Dillon was handled by pro trainer Diane Vater to a win of the NWA National Field Championship. Hip, hip hooray to both of these very talented fellas and all of the people that made their success possible.
