Tag's litter was whelped December 31, 2007 and produced our newest addition, "Belle". Belle is, in my biased opinion, the pick of the litter. When we tested the puppies, Belle showed that she is not only very structurally sound, but also that she has ample bird desire. We're still getting things going on building our new home, so Belle will stay with the Koeberleins for awhile still. We will bring her home on various weekends until we get the new place finished, and will then move her home with us. You can view her pedigree by clicking here.

We will be bringing home a puppy from Wind River's Kennel soon! The new addition will come from either the Spice/Tigger breeding or the Tag/Isaac breeding. (Or both!) This is, of course, following our planned building of a new residence and facility in Flat Rock, Illinois at the Ayres Farm. The 40-acre farm, owned by my grandparents, offers acres of grassland pasture and CRP ground perfect for training and hunting pointing breed dogs.

Justus earned another two qualifying scores and finished his Senior Hunter title at the Germain Shorthaired Pointer Club of Illinois Hunt Tests at Des Plaines Fish & Wildlife Area in Wilmington, Illinois. The weather was cooperative, as well as our bracemates, and it made for an easy weekend to showcase what we've been training for.

The Brittany Club hunt test weekend didn't turn out so well for us. Day one we faced a long backcourse, 85 degree weather, and, ultimately, an 80 yard retrieve on a bird that wasn't actually hit. Day two the weather cooperated, but the birds didn't. Justus had three solid points, each nonproductive. Time got called before we could get a bird to flush. These things happen, though. I can't fault Justus -- it just doesn't go perfect every time. We have another shot at finishing Justus' SH title next weekend.

The Greater Indianapolis Brittany Club Hunt Test filled to capacity and unfortunately we were on the wrong side of the bubble. So, Justus will have to wait until September to get a shot at completing his Senior Hunter title. See you this Fall!
