I think her name fits her well Joel.Thank you for giving her the kind of home & chance I would like ALL my pups to have!!

[LBH]

Nice job Mr. Hilkert, she looks outstanding. I am hoping I can see her at the upcoming NSTRA trial if I can make it.

Ted, to say the least you know to breed a dog. I look forward to seeing updates on the other pups including Fancy in the future.

Hey birddoggin/phezman here is one of those worthless American GSPS,that can't take the weather in Utah even colder then Northern Ohio!!!!

[birddoggin]

Is it a GSP or EP?

Looks nice either way.

No Midnight breedings I hope..



VZKennels...
Please tell us more lies about all of those month long -20F days you have in Cincinnati

The record temp of all time never even got that low..

Joel here is a pic of Storm the male I kept from the litter.He went south to Ga with Chris past wk end for winter training camp. I had him across the Rd for a run in the field & when I came back he stopped to check out the pigeons in the avery.

great looking dogs ted! I too am a fan of the saddle on the male. Who's the sire? Looks like another male i've seen.

Storm looks great Ted. Did you you throw in a bit of Lab in that "midnight breeding"? Fancy is a retreiving fool.

[vzkennels]

That Lab breeding must have taken place yrs back because ALL my dogs going back to their Solid LVR GR mother Ginger are natural retrievers.Oh & even the white EP crosses as some call them retrieve from water naturally.The funny thing is I could put pics up of the Solid LVR dogs & no one would make that EP comment.

Joel and Ted,
Both of those pups look incredibly nice, can't wait to see them in person. I think the breeding produced some real nice pups.

Thanks Dennis I appreciate that coming from you.
Jake belongs to Dennis Pennington an amateur that the pros hate to see show up & a pretty good WH trainer aswell.

[vzkennels]

Joel I see your going to run Fancy in NSTRA in a couple wks.Good Luck!! Let me know how that goes.
Here is another one of Littermates.Maxey

[Highland Gundogs]

Yeah Ted Im running her , shes pretty young, but shes been on a ton of wild birds. Should be fun...

[vzkennels]

She might even surprise a few of the older more experienced dogs,it sure won't hurt her any!!

[vzkennels]

Just a little update from Georgia on Storm,Chris likes what he sees so far.He said the puppy will run & loves birds !!

[vzkennels]

Check out this pic of Fancy,I don't want to sound like I'm braggin but WOW!!!

I think it is that Joel guy! Seems to me, I aint seen him with a bad looking or good dog yet!

[vzkennels]

I just want to wish Joel & Fancy GOOD LUCK at the upcoming Las Vegas trial in a few wks.

[SFK]

Keep up the good work Ted! They sure look nice.

[TAK]

Good luck as long as we are not in the same trial!...
But Ted really that Fancy is a nice looking dog. Pennington and you did a fine job with that cross... Joel also needs some credit here. He has her and the rest of his dogs looking really good... Clean, snappy dog work... Also Joel bred a litter that one of the pups ran also. The young male was something to look at...! This "Jet" is a dandy lookin feller!

[vzkennels]

Tak Joel deserves ALL THE CREDIT,he is giving her the training & chance to be All she can be.Joel has some & bred some very nice dogs & is doing the best he can do by them.I wish I could send all my pups to homes like he has given Fancy.As far as him & you in the same stakes well,LET THE BEST DOG come out on top.GOOD LUCK! to all dogs running & have fun,that's what it's all about.

[Highland Gundogs]

Thanks guys, hey Tom, am I gonna get to see that Sly dog run in Mesquite?
Ted, I think you and I are cut from the same cloth, watching a pup from my breeding compete and do well this weekend was a thrill for me.

I don't know yet. I would like to. It all depends on how much time I can put into him between now and then... I am still up to my eyelids in snow! Now that it has stop'd snowing it has become stinkin cold... I am a fair weather trainer man! Give me around 40-70 degree's and dirt and I am all over it!

Here in the next couple of weeks I hope to maybe head out to them Faust grounds and run some dogs. I hear that there is dry ground out that way!

[LBH]

Ted,

I stopped by the trial and talked with Joel just for a few minutes. I have not seen Fancy in the field yet.... but man is she fancy !! Happy, confident, and friendly. Is built very nice and has a great personality. To me that's just as important as anything. I hope to see Fancy lay it down sometime soon.

[vzkennels]

Here is another pup from this litter Reba,belongs to Chip Denham (LVRGSP) & Rick Riggs.

[birddogger]

Check out this pic of Fancy,I don't want to sound like I'm braggin but WOW!!!

It's not bragging, the picture speaks for itself!!! Although, there is nothing wrong with bragging on special dogs.

Charlie

[Highland Gundogs]

Wow! Reba growed up, nice pup Chip.

[vzkennels]

Chip here is where I put Reba's pic first.Joel good luck to you & the dogs this wk end !!

[Highland Gundogs]

Thanks Ted, theres alot of nice dogs going from what I hear, we've been working hard. Should be several Utah fellers representing.
