I haven’t posted on the page in a while… GREAT NEWS… Rio finished his AKC Championship 🎉🎉🎉

Could not be more happy that this boy was completely breeder-owner handled by me. Good boy Rio!

Saturday at the Kokomo Kennel Club dog show Fancy (Benchmark’s Fancy Pants) went BOW for her 3rd point. Thank you judge Ms. JoAnne Buehler. Isn’t this girl too cute?!

Sunday her brother Rio (Benchmark’s Big River) went BOW for another point, giving him a total of 11 points including both his majors. Thank you judge Carolyn A Herbel.

I didn’t get a picture of Rio, but how about a stack of passing CAER eye exams instead! I took 5 of my Cockers, and mom took 2 of hers, for a total of 7 clear eye exams!!! We’ll call that a great day!

When you go to take some cute pictures…decide to stack her up…an are immediately impressed with what you see! 🤩❤️🫣

Why not when they’re this cute?!?!

We went to a UKC show in Portland, IN on Saturday & Sunday. I’m proud to say that on Saturday Rio won a Group 4th in a competitive Gun Dog group of 8 breeds. Not to be outdone by her brother…yesterday Fancy pulled off a Group 2nd in a very competitive Gun Dog group of 11 breeds!

Thank you to judges Sharon Griffin and Joseph Gubry for recognizing our Cockers, and the Central Indiana Coonhound Conformation Club for putting on a lovely and welcoming event!

Could these girls *be* any cuter?! 💖
(Said in the voice of Chandler Bing) 😆

We had a great weekend at the Crown Point, IN dog show…Rio went BOW for a crossover major both yesterday and today! Thank you to Cocker breeder judge Dale R Martenson and Mr Douglas A Johnson for recognizing Rio!

No love for Fancy but she’s pictured because she’s adorable 💜

PJ & Twister girls are 3 weeks old today...preparing for their first grooms!

04/08/2024

We traveled to Dayton, OH for a dog show this weekend. Fancy went BOW for another point on Saturday, and Rio went BOW for another point today. Both pups now have 2 points, in two weekends of showing. We’re off to a good start! 🐾

Haddie & Twister blessed us with 3 chocolate parti color girls last night, an at least 2 of them are roan! Haddie had them all within an hour, and they’re all settling in now and eating like little pigs!

To say we’re excited about these litters is an understatement!

Double the fun again later this month!

I’m really enjoying taking the puppies to a local conformation class each week. 🐾 Today we tried something new.

02/16/2024

Official win photos of our bred by puppies first points from their first weekend out! Very proud of Rio & Fancy ❤️

Thank you to judges Mrs. Vicki Abbott and Ms. Bonnie Clarke for recognizing them.

We’ve decided Hans would be better suited in a pet home. Feel free to reach out.

It’s so simple, but I’m so excited to say that Breezy is now…

Benchmark’s Easy Breezy Beautiful FTN

She earned her Fetch Novice title today without any preplanning or practice. It’s the first performance title I’ve ever put on a dog…and I’m so tickled pink!

ADOPT DON’T SHOP???! Or ... why your current dog could be your last dog.
In a time when animal rights (AR) extremists are everywhere and Adopt Don’t Shop is being shoved down everyone’s throat, let’s take a second to look at what’s actually going on here.
You have greyhound racing banned in Florida, and the average pet owner cheers that those poor dogs aren’t being forced to run anymore.
You have timed dog sports like agility and lure coursing banned and the average pet owner cheers because those poor dogs don’t have to perform for peoples’ entertainment anymore.
You have states banning hunting and field trials and the average pet owner cheers that those poor dogs aren’t being forced to work with cruel hunters anymore.
You have a province trying to ban certain training tools and training styles and the average pet owner cheers because they would never use those cruel methods on their pet.
You have places trying to impose mandatory spay and neuter by six months old (in spite of the peer reviewed research showing that puppies sterilized early will not develop properly and can develop a myriad of health issues) and the average pet owner cheers because breeding shouldn’t be happening and adopt don’t shop.
You have shelters and humane societies importing dogs from other countries to “sell” to the adopt don’t shop market because there is actually a SHORTAGE of dogs to adopt. Bet you thought the reverse was true? That there was a surplus of dogs in your area and that you were saving them? In fact you have created a new market you like to call rescue to make you feel good but in many cases these dog’s are being produced cheaply in foreign countries and imported for the market your bleeding heart created. Shelters have expenses and overhead that doesn’t get paid if the shelter is empty. And then they go out of business.
You have PETA showing up at dog shows putting dogs in danger, releasing them to possibly be run over on highways - or lost, terrified, starved but the average pet owner cheers because those poor dogs shouldn’t be forced to participate in beauty pageants and have no life.
The average pet owner isn’t going to care when the AR extremists push for dog sports to be banned because we’re making dogs compete for our entertainment. They won’t care when dog sledding is banned because those poor dogs have to pull that sled so far in the snow. They won’t care when service dogs are banned because those dogs are forced to work all day. They won’t care when it’s next to impossible for a responsible and accountable breeder to produce a litter because of regulation, because people should be adopting instead of shopping.
BUT ...
They might start to notice when all that’s left are poor representations of the breeds, the ones being produced from the backyard breeders who don’t care about the regulations and restrictions that pushed ethical breeders away. When these puppies grow up to be sickly dogs riddled with the health issues the ethical breeders would have tested for, or lack the correct temperament that the ethical breeders worked so hard for by working and showing their dogs.
They might start to notice when their only option for adding a dog to their family is a shelter dog created for them in a foreign country without breeding standards with more baggage than they are prepared to handle.
By the time the AR extremists start pushing to end pet ownership (which is absolutely PETA’s goal) altogether and the average pet owner takes notice and is shocked and appalled because they love their dog so much, there will be nobody left to fight for them. All of the breeders, hunters, dog sport competitors, mushers, service dog handlers, breed preservationists, etc are already gone because the average pet owner turned their back on them.
With regulation/legislation it’s never just about one issue. Maybe the average pet owner needs to look down at the labrador, golden retriever or German Shepherd at their feet and think about what went into developing the breed they love and why. About how their dogs are “wired” to love to do what they were purposefully bred for whether that was herding reindeer, comforting a child, detecting cancer or just laying on a lap. About how wolves joined our campfires willingly and were domesticated to help mankind be where we are today and our gratitude and love for that is eternal and ongoing. The herding and hunting and working that AR extremists want to end. It all ties together and is a slippery slope and it’s going to end with you, average pet owner. Please share if you understand.
