Yes they did and under breeder judge Frank Washabaugh to boot.

And what was really great, was that Alli's grandma (me) and her great grandma (Donna Spinneli) were ringside to watch. We got goose bumps just watching the pair perform. A great day!

Wow, another good weekend for the A Team.

After that BIS, NAVHDA UTI, Group2 weekend, Adam and Alli follow it up with a Group3 and a Group4 this past weekend. They are on a roll.

honeyrun

I don't post here much, but I do visit several times a week. I just have to post this BIG CONGRATS to Adam and Alli (aka "The A Team"). Adam guided Alli to a huge show win in Wisconsin on Friady, BEST IN SHOW. Then, he drives to Iowa that night and the next day proceeds to garner the NAVHDA Utility ...

Head type, short ears, color, it has got to have a lot of lab in it.

I even saw an all Liver Pointer the other day. Thought I was seeing things and just had to ask if it was a pointer.

honeyrun

Let's make pretend that- for the sake of arguement, every dog in your breeding program was tested for some genetic defect via a new 100% conclusive test ...... and they all tested positive. Wow, if this happened, I would be so disillusioned with the breed as a whole, I think I might be tempted to s...

honeyrun

When evaluating tail set/carriage, you have to realize that the tail is an EXTENSION fo the spine. Therefore, the dog will use the tail for balance when running, swimming, hunting and any other forms of movement or actions. A dog that has a 12 oclock tail, to me, looks unnatural. Also a dog that run...

Post..... Unless i am mistaken your male (the sire of adam's female) has sired a litter with a black female....so if you don't like the color and think the standard should be changed prior to breeding for it why would you allow your stud to be used. I'm not trying to be a wise a$$...just seems like ...

honeyrun

Ken, That's an easy one......Absolutely nothing but color pattern. And I have a solid liver male along with many liver/white/ticked. BUT....that color pattern is acceptable as the standard is written and has been since the inception of the GSP here in this country. I have another question.....If the...

honeyrun

Coop, For me it is just personal preference. I like the liver/white/ticked or solid liver, always have. I am sure that there are those that would never own a solid liver GSP either, same difference. That is why I really don't care if it passes. I will still show my dogs and finish them in the show r...

There is no Pit Bull here Bruce. I didn't even know this was going on till someone else told me about it last night. So, you are wrong again. I have not been active on any of the boards lately as I have been too busy with work and the dogs. I have always wondered what so many others do, What exactly...

honeyrun

Secondly, I thought I provided an example previously of a very fine black dog that has already contributed to the breed. In this case, specifics were given. Others have thrown in what they believe to be fine contributions as well. I don't know what else to tell you but to go back and read the threa...

honeyrun

The pup is about 10 weeks old right? His eyes should already be brown. But, on another note, the tri factor is a know factor in DK's and it crops up from time to time. The eye color goes along with the tri color. Don't discount that this pup is a pure bred GSP. Though, I certainly wouldn't breed one...

honeyrun

You have 30 days from the first time the dog is entered in an American AKC event. When entering, you will need to mark the foreign registration box and put in his canadian number. Then have the owner start eh AKC application, as it takes longer for the foreign to AKC registrations as it does for a s...

honeyrun

WOOOOHOOOOO Way to go Adam and Alli. What is quite unique about this duo, is that Adam bought her as a "hunting" dog. He has since put a Show CH on her, and even a Best in Specialty Show, A Group 1 and other group placements. ALSO, a JH, SH and MH. ALSO, a NAII and now a UTII. All of this and she is...

He is no longer living.

A dog that has a VERY strong pointing instinct from the getgo will either be a natural backer or be extremely easy to teach the back. Backing is pointing instinct, they are just pointing another dog as they would a bird. Many dogs, once they realize what a dog on point is pointing, they will back. I...

honeyrun

John, Why even post this: But here's the point. DK's are dogs for very good trainers. You can't just buy a DK, park it in the kennel nine months of the year and take it out in the fall and hunt it. Of course, you can't do that with any other dog either. But more than most dogs, they need a dedicated...

honeyrun

You can say all you want, but I have bred and trained Shorthairs for 30 yrs and never seen characteristics like this come from my dogs or dogs i have had here for training. Good statement, AND I TOO HAVE NEVER SEEN THAT in my dogs. Guess what, I have two german imports. One that has given me awesom...

honeyrun

What are you looking for on these dogs?

All my dogs (except my german imports) all tie back to Can CH, AFC, DC Shill Rest's Impressive, CDX, MH. I have had the pleasure of owning 3 direct offspring of his and I currently have a grandson that is 3 years old.

See my response over on Upland Journal.

honeyrun

I think a lot of people on the forum do. I think the reason you may have noticed GSP's getting weaker in Natural Ability is because there are some breeders that don't care. So it's not the GSP that is getting weaker Natural Abilities, it's careless breeders putting more un-natural pups on the groun...

honeyrun

:lol: When they can run the midwest prairies with pointers on their home turf and find/point bird for bird, then, yes, I would call her big running. That was when she was under the age of 2, She is now 7 and has adjusted quite nicely to the grouse woods of PA, although she must wear a locator collar...

honeyrun

The DK guys can correct me if I am wrong on this , but I believe most DK's are not bred to be the long range runners that would perform well in Field Trials I believe most are bred to be short to mid range running dogs for the foot hunter, but Hainholz obviously found several DK's that were bred to...

honeyrun

I was very fortunate to own one of the last surviving grandsons of DC Hillhaven's Hustler, he also happened to be a grandson of DC Erick von Enzstrand and a great grandson of CH Gretchenhof Columbia River. With a pedigree like that, I most certainly collected on him and have several breedings on ice...

honeyrun

Coming late to this discussion. IMO, I believe that the Standard, as written, for the GSP is fine. Each year it seems that breeders are tending to stretch the limits of the standards in order to suit thier needs and wants, both on the bench and in the field. As was mentioned, there are many, many di...

Home of:

AKC Bench CH Baretta vom Otterbach, MH, NAI, UTII, D1, AZP1, HN, CGC and now Therapy Dog International certified (german Import). She has produced some awesome pups when bred to my Traditional American GSPs.

honeyrun

Actually, the book is an excellent read. It is not biased for or against a certain type of dog. It gives a great history of the breed and focuses on the Versatility of the breed, rather than the specialist. It contains great info on socialization, whelping, care of, and numerous other aspects of our...

Well, Jim always had hunting beagles before we met and he was always talking about rabbit hunting. I have always liked beagles, so I told him if we get some, they will also be able to be shown. Brady doesn't appear to have too much ambition for hunting, but loves the attention at the shows and he ha...

honeyrun

He is only 6 1/2 months old and since he is doing so well in the show ring, he will stay with that for now. We do have plans to try him in the field later. Izzy, on the other hand, will be started on rabbits in the spring. Here is Izzy's pic from a couple of weekends ago. http://www.honeyrunshorthai...

honeyrun

None the less, a gun dog. Here is our 6 1/2 month old pup winning Best Puppy in Show at the very large Delaware Water Gap Christmas show lon Dec 14th. What a ride it was that day, very exciting. He now has 3 majors and 14 points in just 4 shows. http://www.honeyrunshorthairs.com/home/beagles/bradybi...

We had a great weekend this past weekend on both fronts, show and field. Retta, my german import, finished up her AKC Show CH yesterday. She will now officially be: CH Baretta vom Otterbach, MH, NAI, UTII, D1, AZP1, HN, SG But, not to be out done by her mother, Alli (owned, trained and handled by Ad...

Thanks, I guess I should have said that it has to be from Sunday afternoon on. We will be in Pittsburgh PA this weekend. So that might make a difference to someone.

honeyrun

To all my fellow GDF members, Bootie, the GSP pup that I had in the Dogs for sale section will be having a new home in South Carolina. The problem is, the guy is getting re-deployed to Iraq the first part of November and can not come and get her. They would like to get her asap so that he can have a...

honeyrun

Adam called yestered, Alli received 2 more legs of her master hunter title this weekend, that leaves only 1 more to go. We are very proud of the "A Team" and the accomplishments Adam has done, especially as Alli is his first dog.

Way to go Adam and Alli, BIG congrats from Grandma

honeyrun

Finally got the pic from Adam.......

honeyrun

Adam and Alli did grandma proud over the weekend. Adam goal and dream this year was to get atleast one Group I and then finish Alli's MH title. Well, yesterday they got 1/2 of it by taking a Group I at the shows out in their home area. They are off to the hunting test today to try for Leg #2 of her ...

honeyrun

I know whoa is thought by some to be of primary importance, and is thought to be absolutely necessary to steady a dog and teach backing, but my dogs don't know it, they are thoroughly broke, stop to flush and back. Sounds good to me, as this is the same for my dogs also. If I am hunting near a road...

honeyrun

Thanks Karen. I just heard from Adam last evening about the show yesterday. Another BOB for Alli AND a Sporting Group 2. We are very proud of this dynamic duo and look for great things from her pups in the spring. She has an appointment with her grandfather (NAVHDA VC, CH Honey Run's Puck, MH) for a...

Introducing...... "Izzy" aka "Lanbur's Stealin Kisses" Baretta has already adopted her and is very protective when the others start playing too ruff, she will go and sit between them and stare at the GSP or Brit as it to say, Back Off Buddy. :lol: http://www.honeyrunshorthairs.com/home/izzy/izzyweb1...

I do mine at 48 hours or less. Since I have been doing them a home, it makes it much easier and they don't have go to the vets office where lord knows what kind of stuff they could pick up.
