Puppies Move Out of Whelping Box

The puppies just turned three weeks old and today was moving day as they moved out of their whelping box and into their new 1-bedroom suite. Including their bedroom kennel and litter pans, they have about 50 square feet of space. They are still just on momma's milk, but they all are getting their teeth, and they will be starting on some mooshy kibble and water this coming week. Georgie and the puppies are doing well. We have two beautiful black males still available. Please contact us if you are interested in learning about these two black males.

Second Junior Handler Pass

Our 9-year-old granddaughter ran our 10-year-old Dixie in the Junior stake at the hunt test hosted by the Keystone Retriever Club and the pair got their second pass together. We thought the team of Leah and Dixie did a great job together. This was only Leah's second experience handling at a hunt test, and she was so excited with the overall experience. Our Tuesday training group has been so kind and supportive to allow Leah and Dixie to practice together during our group sessions and we can't thank them enough. We thank God for this wonderful blessing and pray that the pair can continue to develop together as a team. Our many thanks to the club, the judges, the workers, and the landowners, it was a great event. We have a litter of puppies on the ground that are three-weeks old and the biggest reward for Leah was being able to come over and spend time with the puppies the next day. There was also a litter of puppies that were six-weeks old at the test and she was thrilled at being able to spend time with the puppies while waiting her turn to run.

We are so thankful for Rex x Georgie Magnificent Half Dozen

It was a very special Thanksgiving for us yesterday here at home with Georgie and her six puppies. The puppies in the photos are:

Orange Collar Black Male Puppy
Pink Collar Black Female Puppy
Blue Collar Black Male Puppy
Yellow Collar Black Male Puppy
Purple Collar Light Yellow Female Puppy
Red Collar Dark Yellow Female Puppy

As you can see in the photos, the puppies have their eyes open and moving around now on all four legs. They will be transitioning out of their whelping box to a play yard in the next couple of days. They all have teeth coming in so they will be starting on some mushy kibble in the next couple of days as well. It is very exciting to see them changing every day.

We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday with lots of good food to eat. Blessings to all of you.

Georgie and Willow Qualify at 2023 NAHRA Invitational

All three of our girls qualified to participate in the 2023 NAHRA Invitational held in Cranesville, PA. Being new to NAHRA hunt tests, we were very honored to be able to participate in this annual national event. Dixie was actually the first dog to drop out of the event when she really struggled on a long flyer in the first series. She was able to come up with the second bird but then had to be picked up on the third bird. Willow was our second dog to run in the first series and actually did a somersault at a full run going for the same long flyer. Somehow she got re-oriented and was clean on all three birds. Georgie and Willow got through the first two series on day one and then the next two series on day two. There was just the final series left on day three. Georgie was actually the very last dog to run in the final series. Once the scoring was totaled up by the three judges, we were thrilled that both Georgie and Willow ended up qualifying in their first NAHRA Invitational event. This gave Georgie enough points to earn her NAHRA MHR title to go along with her AKC MH title. We thank God for this wonderful opportunity and for keeping all the participants safe. Our thanks also to the landowner, the judges, the workers, and to all of our training partners. We got to train and know NAHRA family members from Alaska, Canada, Vermont, New York, Minnesota, Iowa, Pennsylvania, and more. We are so thankful at how welcome everyone made us feel. We look forward to participating in future NAHRA events.

Willow Earns a Qualifying Score at Keystone

Willow ran by herself (Dixie and Georgie stayed home) in the master stake at the Keystone Retriever Club June 2023 Hunt Test in Elkton, MD this past weekend. She earned her third qualifying score in a master hunt test. She has been running in NAHRA hunt tests this spring and has not run in an AKC hunt test since last fall so we were pleased to see that she was able to adjust and still do well enough to earn a qualifying score. Willow is from our November 2020 Whistler x Dixie litter and it was very exciting for us to see her sister Sophie from our March 2020 Whistler x Dixie litter also earn a qualifying score in the master stake at the same test. Sophie is owned by our uncle and aunt, Mike and Helen Katinas and trained and handled by Tim Mumford of Can Do Kennels. We thank God for keeping everyone safe this past weekend and for this wonderful opportunity to fellowship with so many great folks and see such great dog work. We also thank the land owners, the judges, the workers, and the Keystone Retriever Club for hosting such a well organized event. Also we thank all our training partners who have and continue to help us develop and grow.
