Roy Boy!!💙💙💙
Last week doing CKC Water Dog tests and this week in the ring! Day 1 Group 1 under Judge Guillermo Cavazos de las Fuentes! Thank you judge for recognizing Royal and @madison.bernardin for presenting him!
The day was filled with vicious hornets and ended with a monstrous storm destroying the tents but tomorrow is a new day we will be back with grateful hearts, a new tent and hornet traps!😊

Handling huge Browns maybe a wee bit harder than handling dogs! What an amazing day on the Bow River with a couple of great guys...

Another great weekend at the Red Deer Kennel Club show this past weekend with Roy taking Breed and making the cut in a fantastic line up of Sporting dogs under Sporting Dog specialist Judge Steve Dainard on Friday and under Judge Tony Vandendool today. Roy went Best Opposite to Quinn with Ryleigh handling under Judge Gunner Nymann! Thank you Club, judges and @madison.bernardin for being on the end of Roy’s leash piloting him around the ring! Stay tuned for photos of our granddaughter Ryleigh and Quinn and her Group 3 placement on day 2! This team is on 🔥
Sunnie made her debut as a Special and went Select on Friday and Best Opposite today with @bernardinshaunna showing her! Jenna and Kota just keep getting better and better as a team in the ring and it so wonderful to watch mother & daughter in the ring!

It's Royal's turn to handle 2 birds while Reagan honours...1st bird a no shot 'safety' the 2nd is retrieved to hand. It is so satisfying to see the results of fine, purposeful breeding manifesting in the field and the sheer pleasure of shooting over such dogs is beyond words...

It’s always a good day out with the dogs! Four month old Sunnie is getting in on the hunts and loves trying to keep up!

Haven just got back from showing @dougorama99 and friend Mark how to hunt chukar through some pretty cover filled with burrs...😳 but as we were heading back she went on a very staunch point on a couple of Bob Whites. I find her staunchest points are always on Quail! Thanks Doug for the 📸

Sunnie working with mentor dog Haven. She is learning to back (though not today!😜) search for scent and get used to shot on the flush with a starter pistol. Occasionally she will chase but more and more she will stand through the fly away. The more she can learn naturally with mentor dogs the better!

Sunnie wants to do everything the bigs dogs do so we leis a mini UT ‘drag of duck’ for this 9 week old pup. This little dynamo sure LOVES her ducks!!

Puppy adventures with little Miss Sunnie who just turned 9 weeks old! Oh how we love this puppy stage where we can seeing the pure breed instinct and bold, happy personality emerging!💛

Puppy field adventures are just soooo much fun and seeing them figure out scent and pointing sometimes right on top of them is just down right hilarious!

Reagan practicing The LONG 200 yard swim over to retrieve a duck. Video is sped up 4xs and it takes her about 5 minutes each way.
