From Maggie Hayes: SHR SR Fireside Snap N Crackle JH (OTCH gunnabe) has earned the Brass Duckband award from the North American Hunting Retriever Association (NAHRA) for his work at the Started level this year. This entitles him to compete in their regional field event next fall. Proud of the little red devil!
From Marie Stuart:
Footage from the October 2003 road trial Striker and I entered was used as a lead in for the Non-Sporting Group at Westminster this year. There was rumor it would be used but no one would know til that evening watching the show on USA. It was great seeing Striker on national TV. I have been asked how did I get him to maintain position so well. Simple, obedience training and polishing with an e-collar. It was amazing to see how well Striker understood what was asked of him when it was defined with the collar. Those barn cats can be very distracting.
From Denise Call:
UKC GRCH Calla's Izzy My Valentine "aka" Tank earned his UCD in four shows 2 legs at Dulles Gateway Obedience trial Feb 7 & 8, 2004. One show each day also awarded high scoring dog with a UKC GRCH title both days. And he earned his title at Tidewater Dog Performance Clubs all breed show and Obedience trial Feb 21 & 22, 2004.

Snap earned his first obedience leg at the Dulles Gateway UKC trial on February 8. He took second place with a 196 in a large Novice B class. Don't look for any more obedience brags soon, though. The boy clearly showed me we still have our work to do!

From Dave Hamel:
Over the last few months Stonefields Pat Hand - aka "Jake" has been
traveling with his handler Darlene Bergan to a few shows around the area. For
a young Chessie he has been doing well for himself. On February 3rd,
Jake took Reserve Winners Dog in Greenville, SC (Greenville Kennel Club) at
the age of 9 1/2 months. Over the weekend of April 3rd and 4th, Jake took
his first Winners Dog (and his first point) at the Piedmont Kennel Club on
Saturday and took another Reserve Winners Dog at the Columbia Kennel Club
on Sunday in Raleigh. We are looking forward to the coming months as
he breaks out into the "big dog" class.

UCD GR CH Calla’s Izzy My Valentine “aka” Tank has entered the ranks of AKC titles. Mr. Tank achieved his companion dog title with 4 straight legs finishing up at Merrimac’s trial on October 16, and 17th. Way to go; you will never be an OTCH, but what you give me in effort, loyalty, devotion and willingness to please mean more to me than any title ever could. Thank you Tank for being another dog of my heart.
