Hunt Test Report: Upper Alabama – Connie & Risk earn their first two JH legs

Risk

Risk

In upper Alabama, Connie & Risk ran their first AKC Junior Hunter test this weekend. Saturday, after watching dog after dog fail, Connie sent me a text message with great concern and doubt that she and Risk would pass. However, they did great together and earned their first JH leg! Sunday, Risk did his marks flawlessly. Even so, Connie realized they have a few things to work on but in the end he earned his second leg. Whoo Hoo!

Congratulations, Connie & Risk! We’re so very proud of you two!

Hunt Report: Cali

Jala's Misty Hill CoolWater Cali

Today, Jala’s Misty Hill CoolWater Cali aka “Cali” had a good day hunting in the Carolinas. Her owner reports that she did 12 marked retrieves flawlessly — “without a hiccup” as he stated. Not too bad for a dog just over a yr. old. From the photo he sent, I’d say she did a fine job.

Show Report: Jesse

 

CH CoolWater's The Tide is High

Jesse takes Winners Bitch at the regional Specialty in Maryland under breeder judge Robyn Haskin.

This weekend was a Chessie Specialty in Maryland. There was a rather large entry with something like 48 entries. Jessie, Coolwater’s the Tide is High, was entered for ring experience. I really didn’t expect her to do anything as the competition in the Mid-Atlantic/New England area is very tough. I was absolutely thrilled when I received a phone call from Jessie’s co-owner telling me that Jessie took Winners Bitch for a 4 pt. major — and under a breeder judge at that! 

Congratulations to Tom Flores, Jessie’s co-owner and a huge thank you to Judge Robyn Haskin for awarding Jessie the win and Darlene Bergan for handling Jessie so nicely that day!

Show Report: Virginia

Jessie, aka CoolWater’s The Tide is High, earned herself 3 points in the show ring in Virginia. On Thursday, she took winners bitch and best opposite sex for a point. On Friday, she took winners bitch, best of winners and best opposite sex for 2 points. This is fabulous news considering Jessie was competiting against some dogs that were more than double her age and maturity.

Jessie has received many nice compliments from fellow breeders/judges and handlers. She’s a happy go lucky girl that’s enjoying the show ring. I was told, by a fellow breeder, that she’s very pretty and tends to show herself. Very nice compliment, indeed!

I look forward to hearing more about this little girl in the future!

Hunt Test Report: Upper Alabama – New SHR

Risk obtains his SHR

CoolWater's Out On A Limb "Risk" obtains his UKC SHR title

Congratulations to Connie & Risk for obtaining their first  hunt test title together!

Risk obtained his UKC Started title this weekend at the upper Alabama hunt test. He did well, going 4 for 4.

Risk will be hunted over this winter by Connie’s husband, and Connie plans on working towards his AKC Junior Hunter title in December. He might be seen in the show ring sometime in 2011.

Risk received many compliments from the judges, as well as other Chesapeake (and also Lab) fanciers. I’m very proud of this team!

Hunt Test Report: Risk

 Connie & Heath have never participated in a dog sport before, and they weren’t sure what to expect, but they enjoyed themselves and walked away a success as they earned Risks first SHR qualifying ribbon. I think they’ve been bitten by the bug as they’re very much looking forward to obtaining his title.

Something to note: although Risk was force fetched- he’s had NO water work at all. We weren’t really sure what to expect and I was very prepared to get a call telling me he ran the bank – but he didn’t. From what I’m told, he had no hesitation, nailed every mark and delivered to hand nicely on both land & water.

 Risk, ya did your mama (Jessie) proud!
