WHAT A WEEKEND! We tackled Inducky with 21 dogs running all three levels. We are so grateful to be able to run these talented dogs in challenging weekend tests so close to home. Thank you to the judges, club members, and all the workers for putting on a great test.

Ended the weekend 39/40 and FOUR new titles (all pictured)! HR Rooster, SHR Roly, SHR Hank, and SHR Wriggs all did great work.

As you can tell from the pictures, Em Rose is well on her way to being finished level judge, too!

Hello, FALL! Not sure how we got here, but we were back in the thick of it this weekend!

Jeremy took six dogs to the Green River Club’s D/Q Field Trial in Owensboro. ALL SIX brought home a ribbon, and Toby added QA2 to his healthy resume! The Derby on Saturday and the Q on Sunday were challenging, efficiently run, and really put the dogs to the test!

Bow got to run in one of our favorite spots! Tri-State ALWAYS puts on a great test. Big shoutout to Miss Heather for always taking such good care of us. The grounds and workers were fantastic all weekend, and we got home before the sun set!

Congratulations to all of the hard working dogs and their owners!

What a great mid-week Master test at Bourbon Hills in Onton, KY. Following the O/H Qualifier, Bow stayed on to run the MH test. The birds flew high and wide, the judges set up a challenging test that was also mindful of the heat and keeping dogs (and handlers) healthy and safe!

Not even hundred plus degree heat was hotter than NASH this weekend, running 3 clean series! He achieved his 6th pass, giving him his MH TITLE!

Congratulations on a Master Pass this weekend:

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:

3XGRHRCH Ash MH QAA, owned by Neil & Carol Kaufman, Master pass & Reserve Jam. NEW MH Title!

5XGRHRCH UH Cosby MH QAA, owned by Cindy & Jeni Gripshover, 2nd Place. NEW QAA!
