Patton (CH CoolWater’s Patton’s Destiny Is Some Great Thing) & his owner, Todd, had a good day. Single digits to start the day and 2 foot plus snow pack – almost 20 retrieves for the day.
I was told I don’t post enough photos of dogs working……..so here are a few of Ms. Scarlett, CoolWater’s Gone With the Wind, this year. It was her first hunting season and while she was hunted over very limitedly. She picked up every bird she was asked to. Good girl. Good girl.
We’re so proud of Gale and her boy, River (CoolWater’s River Run), on obtaining their Rally Novice title today and with a second place to boot! Good job, Good job!

I’m a bit behind in my posting. As such, I have a few updates to catch up on.
- Dec. 14- Jesse – CoolWater’s The Tide Is High – took an Award Of Merit at the Eukanuba dog show.
- Dec. – Fen – CoolWater’s Roane Point- earned her Junior Hunter title making her official name Am/Intl CH U-SHR CoolWater’s Roane Point JH CD BN RN
- Oct. 5 – Fen also earned her CD and AKC Championship title.
Thought I’d give a little update from our recent time at the Chessie National Specialty.
Jesse – GCH** CoolWater’s The Tide Is High – made it through two cuts in the breed ring.
Patton – CH CoolWater’s Patton’s Destiny is Some Great Thing – placed in sweeps and made the first cut in a very competitive breed ring.
Fen – SHR CoolWater’s Roane Point BN, RN- picked up two new titles Beginners Novice Obedience (BN) and Rally Novice(RN). She also earned her first leg towards her Companion Dog title (CD). In conformation, Fen took 4th in a large class with many other nice Chesapeakes. This gave Fen the Versatility award – qualifying in three events.
All in all I couldn’t be prouder of our crew and the dogs who did their best to give us 100% each time we asked.
What can I say. It’s been an amazing weekend.
Friday, Jesse, GCH CoolWater’s The Tide is High, took a Group 4 win under judge Mr. Elliott Weiss. Interestingly, Mr. Weiss also awarded Jesse the Select Bitch win in 2011 at the National Show Specialty – one of the largest in breed history.
Sunday, Jesse, took a Group 1 Win under judge Mr. Dale Simmons. WoWsers! To say we are beyond thrilled is an understatement.
Then, to round out the weekend, Monday, she took a Group 2 under judge Mrs. Kathy Vogels.
What a weekend! Thank you to the judges who awarded her these wonderful wins and to her handler, Darlene Bergan, for the wonderful job she does with Jesse.
The CoolWater gang had a nice weekend at the shows in Atlanta.
Thursday, Gabby, SHR CoolWater’s Fly Me To The Moon, picked went Best of Winners picking up a point.
Friday, Fen, SHR CoolWater’s Roane Point, went winners bitch.
Saturday, Fen, took Winners Bitch, Best of Winners for a Major win! This is Fen’s second major!
Sunday, Fen, took Winners Bitch for another point.
Also this weekend Fen’s tried her first attempt at Rally Novice and she walked away with a qualifying ribbon and a perfect score of 100. She got second place by only 2/10 of a second! Fen also tried her first attempt at Novice Obedience as well where she earned another qualifying ribbon with a 192. She rounded out the weekend with two more qualifying legs in both rally novice and novice obedience (beginners novice).
Very nice weekend. Congratulations to both Fen and Gabby!
