Taffey was retrieving to hand at less than seven weeks old and now a
nine years old, she is a finished dog with multiple titles and has
assumed the title of Kwick pack leader. What a great journey it has
been! She has a few things left to do in terms of titles, but it is time
to change from the testing focus and emphasize many of the other dreams
which now are to become a reality…..a few litters of well bred pups
that just might allow others to experience a great dog and hunting plus
the mentoring of Kooly, her yellow "fireball" daughter...Daisy and
Gunny....the newest Kwick "Dustbucket". In the early fall of 2005, on September 10th, she passed the fourth HRC Finished hunt test and earned her HRCH title. On the 25th of September she earned her 5th AKC Master Hunter pass for the MH title. Since then, Taffey she has spent several hunting seasons harassing pheasants in South Dakota, hiding from geese in northern Illinois and several days "doing" waterfowl on the Mississippi. |
The puppy that loved to retrieve and locked up on a ten second, trembling and natural point before she went home has now succeeded in passing on her talents. The future may see Taffey's pups doing some of the same things she has done. She will continue to be an outstanding upland guide dog spending quality time in the marsh, woods and fields doing what she loves to do and excels at...hunting. Taffey has finished running hunt tests and will spend a lot of time hunting, be my "test" dog when training the younger KwickLabs, start testing the waters in a few pointing "shoot-to-retrieve" competitions and maybe even run a few field trial qualifiers. Taffey's first litter was by FC AFC HRC Taylorlab Downtown Dusty Brown MH - the Top Derby Dog of 2004 and second place WRC finisher in 2005. Those pups are doing quite well with their new owners. In 2007, Taffey had another pup by Dusty. With Daisy and Gunny in the pack, It's time to relax and decide "what's next"? |
