TWO NEW Field Champions to finish out the Year!!

We are proud to introduce 

2 NEW Field Champions to the family 

- on December 12th MOON (New FC Cali's HH Serous Moonlight SC) earned her championship title!!!!  

- on December 13th Righty (MBIF DC Cali Right on Red for Hound Hill SC FCh) earned his AKC Field Championship title and thus his DUAL Championship titles!!!!!  Righty is owned by Cora Miller and is currently living with Susan Boulduc.    We are so proud to help in this 

Righty was the ASFA Region 9 Best In Event Winner earlier this year as well!!!! 

So proud!!!!!

A Lure Coursing weekend to Remember!!!

 This post is a bit late, but MAHA had an AKC trial Nov27, 28 and 29th.   

It was a beautiful weekend, nice sunny weather, perfect running temperatures and lots of friendly faces and good competition!!!

We were excited, as Righty was down visiting from Otis, MA.  While he finished his ASFA FC easily and is close to his ASFA LCM, the frequency of AKC trials up north are much lower and he only had a few points towards his AKC FC title.  

FRIDAY:

To start out the weekend, Moon won the open Stake for her second Major (3pts),

half brother, Righty, was second place for a single point.   

Sister Elsa won the tough Specials stake and Best of Breed!

What an exciting day!!!

SATURDAY:

Today, Righty decided to take the lead, going first in an open stake of 17 whippets for a 5 point major (his first)!!!!  Half sister Moon was second for a 3 single points 

(Moon now has both majors and a total of 14 pts).

Elsa was first again in specials for another Best of Breed!!!!
Wow!!! What an amazing two days....... but still one to go!

SUNDAY:

We decided not to run Moon today, too much for a young girl on these big hills, but Righty stepped up again to go first in the open stake for his second major and another 4 points!!!  

(Righty now has both majors and a total of 13 pts!!!)

Elsa was second in the specials stake, earning another point towards her LCX3!

Fun Coursing in the Sunshine State!!!

A huge thank you to Robin Barry and SSRRC for a wonderful sunny weekend!!!

So, we finally decided to embark on a long awaited and planned trip to Florida.  We desperately wanted to get down to the Ocala area so that Robin Barry, co-breeder of our Spirit/Raleigh litter, could finally meet some of the puppies.
We decided to head down this past weekend, for the SSRRC AKC trial in Lady Lake, FL.

This was a 3 day trial at a new field.   We only went for the weekend, but were very impressed with the field and faculities.  

Saturday was the warmer of the 2 days, but very enjoyable!  

Moon was 2nd in a field of 11 open whippets to earn her first 2 AKC pts.

Half-sister Elsa was BOB from the Specials stake.  So exciting after the long trip!!!

Sunday was equally exciting, while Elsa was pulled due to a small pad injury, Moon went on to go 1st in the open stake of 13 open whippets for her first Major win and 4 pts!!!!

I was sooooo happy that Robin Barry was able to see this promising young girl in the beginning of her career and we can't wait to see what she has planned for us in the future!!!

Moon is not yet a SC but she has 6pts and a major towards her FC!!!!!

Mike took some great coursing shots, can't wait to see what we got!!!

Another fun weekend of coursing!

This post is a bit late, but wanted to say how proud I am of our two Spirit girls after another fun weekend of coursing.   

This past weekend we went to a 

CHAMP AKC trial in Leesburg, VA. 

To start with, Moon passed her QC TEST on Saturday with flying colors!  So now she is ready to go and run in open at our next AKC trial.  A big thanks to Auntie Morgan who ran with her for this test.

Then, to top off a great weekend, Miss Elsa was BOB on Saturday in a large stake of 24 whippets!!!  

She ended up in a 1/2 tie on Sunday and due to the heat, we chose to take second place and head home, rather than take any chances of a heat related injury.   Too much running left in the year to push things at this time.  
Looking forward to more running next month!   

So proud of Miss Elsa - this is her 6th BOB this year in only 11 AKC trials this year!   Not a bad record!!!
