Congratulations to 4XGRHRCH Ash MH QAA, owned by Neil & Carol Kaufman!

Congratulations to GRHRCH UH Baker, owned by Bobby Doggette!

HHR went to the 4th series with only the yellow dogs on the truck left fighting. Ash, Baker, and Nash did very well in the 4th taking them to the 5th series… the Upland portion.

13/84 in our flight earned a grand pass—a 15% pass rate for our flight. 4 dogs did it clean or on 2’s in our flight. Baker was one of them as a 2 yr old earning his GRHRCH title. Ash earned her 4th pass going 4/4 in the last 4 Grands with HHR. Nash went out in the 5th when he broke after I shot the flush. If he had passed the 5th series that would’ve given him his grand title as a very young 3 year-old.

Those two grand passes blessed HHR with our 66th and 67th grand pass and our 14th GRHRCH. This was by far the toughest Grand path we have taken since it was split into multiple sites.

Grateful every day for this journey, the dogs who work so hard, the owners who share our vision and allow us to pursue this path, and the very best training group who are family. See you in the Fall!

We kicked off the season this year with two big events!

The Central KY Master test in Kevil the last weekend in March was a fun one. All 7 retrievers came away with Master Passes, and Miss Ash wrapped up her MH title. The judges, workers, and club members put on a great event and we appreciate all of their hard work in making it a success.

Jeremy and his assistant Julian waded to the Green River Qualifier on April 6th in Owensboro. There were 22 excellent dogs competing, and we brought three home with ribbons AND Cosby added the QAA! We are grateful for the Green River club and judges for continuing this event, even during difficult weather.

Congratulations to the following in kicking off this test season:

The 2024 HRC International Grand was a fun, challenging, and rewarding one! The Grand committee, judges, members of the Gateway HRC Club, and so many volunteers put on one heck of an event—thank you to everyone for making it a great five days for the 888 dogs that competed.

The HHR team of Jeremy and Bow took a crew of 11 talented and prepared dogs to run some very challenging series. When the dust settled (literally), 7 of them brought home the green. Congratulations to the following:

Nothing at this level happens by chance. Huge thanks to the owners for allowing us to campaign these great dogs. We are blessed with the best training group who live like family and support each other in this pursuit of excellence. Thanks to our kennel crew and those who help so much in daily training and operations! Jeremy would like to thank his wife, Kate, for tolerating him being gone for seven days with a newborn at home. We had a ton of surrounding family support and help while on the road. We are truly blessed in so many ways!

This weekend we had the opportunity to head to Coshocton, OH to run the Ohio Valley Retriever Club Qualifier. 38 dogs ran the event and the judges put on a challenging setup-up for the four series stakes. Thanks to the judges and all of those who worked hard to make the event run smoothly!

HHR started with 4 dogs…. Toby, Ash, Reno, and Fern. Cosby was scratched due to a small injury. We carried 3/4 into the second series (25 were called back). Ash, Fern, and Toby did a great job on both their land marks and the meaty blind. Ash was the star with only one whistle to the blind.

The third series was a water blind with a long entry and a big swim. Ash and Fern did very well on the water blind and were, along with 11 other dogs, called back to run the 4th series.

The 4th series was a beautiful water marking test with an indented middle retired gun. Ash was on rails in her final series run and took the blue ribbon, earning first place and the designation of QAA.

Congratulations to GRHRCH Ash QAA, owned by Neil and Carol Kaufman!

The whole crew is heading to Inducky next weekend for a HRC weekend test and important Grand prep!

Jeremy headed north with five dogs (Toby, Cosby, Ash, Reno, and Fern) this weekend to Canton, IL for a Field Trial Double Qualifier. 32 dogs ran each event and the judges put on a challenging set-up for both of the four series stakes. Thanks to the judges and all of those who worked hard to make the event run smoothly!

In the first Qual, the field was effectively cut in half with each series. Reno, Ash, and Toby made it to the third. Toby was one of 7 dogs called back to the final series—placing FIRST and earning the designation of QAA.

Congratulations to 3xGRHRCH UH Toby MH QAA, owned by Cindy & Jeni Gripshover!

In the second Qual, there was a combined second/third series, which four of the dogs were invited to run… Toby, Ash, Cosby, and Fern. 8 dogs, including Fern, were called to run the fourth series. Fern earned a Reserved Jam, a big feat for a young two year old!

Congratulations to HRCH UH Fern owned by Jeremy & Kate Legge!

The rest of the team trained this weekend with Bow and picked up some challenging marks and A LOT of blinds in preparation for the upcoming HRC International Grand!
