Successful Hunt
Sept. 2012 - “Our first hunt of the season. Tony did very well. He had four points. One on this covey of ruffed grouse which I was able to take a pair from.”
Tony is from Rosie/Titus’s 2011 litter.
“Gunner” places first in AZPDC field trial

Surprise Visit
April 20, 2013 - Benson, MN - We had the pleasure of
getting reacquainted with one of Ellie and Cory’s pups whose owners surprised us at the National CEB Show. At one year old, “Huck” is as handsome and charming as his daddy, and is reported to have the same natural hunting talent of his parents.
Gypsy Earns First Master Hunter Pass
November 10, 2013 - Gypsy received her first pass toward the Master Hunter title at an AKC Hunt Test last weekend. She scored 8’s, 9’s and 10’s on bird finding, pointing, retrieving and trainability during her runs, but she was so excited and intent on hunting that she failed to “honor” the other dog’s points three times, even though she backs perfectly during training sessions. Still, we were proud of her performance and know she’ll do better next time.
Ellie & Cory’s puppies are all sold.
Great News!
December 2, 2013 - Ellie and Cory are the proud parents of five healthy little girls born during the night December 2nd. Mom and babies are doing well.
All puppies are sold, but we will plan on another litter from Ellie next year.
Gypsy Moving Ahead
December 8, 2013 - Gypsy earned two more passes toward her Master Hunter title this weekend at an AKC hunt test sponsored by the Arizona German Shorthair Club. Three down, three to go!
