It has been a really fun fall trial season for me. Little Kiki...also known as Wild Mtn's Thunderstruck has been continuing to catch my eye as well as the eyes of others. When I put her down in a trial you simply can't help but watch her go.
She has been in the ribbons every time down. She has garnered every placement in the rainbow so far including a couple of reds. This weekend she laid it down. She still has a very immature pattern to her run but she managed to hit all of the likely places anyway. She found a covey, a pair, and stopped to point a single that was sitting tight enough for her older, wiser, brace mate to have missed. She WON the Open Puppy stake!!!
Then, entered for the first time as a Derby dog, on request by someone who was interested in possibly purchasing her, she did it again....turned her loose on a course that was thick with lots of tight turns that to many who know that game would call a true hunting dog's course.....the dogs have to be HUNTERS in order to really look good on this course. She was braced with a 16 month old English Pointer ..who was all legs and all speed.....
Kiki is just 7 1/2 months old....
She laid it down again....and just as the sand was running out of the hourglass, she snapped point....intense and stylish on a covey in the hedgerow and STOOD long enough for me to get off and fire!!!!!!
OH MY GOD....she WON the Maryland Brittany Club's Open Derby stake too!!!!! The pointer took home the red ribbon.
Just a small trial....only a single point in each stake but she now has 2 points toward her FC and I am just as thrilled as can be with my little orange girl who happens to not be so pretty. To me, she is simply beautiful.
And NOT for Sale.
