prey drive is coupled with a staunch point and willingness to please.
In the grouse woods, she is known for thundering through the brush,
never letting anything stand in her way.
At 16 weeks her retrieving instinct kicked in and she began retrieving
bumpers to hand as far as they could be thrown. At 5 months I
introduced her to water in one session and she has never looked
back since. She is a natural hunting dog which has produced an
abundance of birds.
Her Utility training progressed quicker than expected and she received
a 195 pt, UT II at 24 months. We missed a Prize I by a mere point on
her first test! Her field searches and duck searches are nothing short
of phenomenal.
She has produced ringneck pheasants, chukkar, ruffed grouse,
hungarian partridge and bobwhite quail. In March, 2006 both she and
I received a personal invitation to train with George Hickox at the
famed Buckeye Plantation in Georgia. During the week, she pointed
approximately 500 wild bobwhite quail!

recognize black shorthairs. Additionally, very few shorhairs are white,
making Jack quite unique! He was bred by Spring Ridge Kennels
which is owned by Will Henry of Meadowview, VA. Jack's Dam is Wind
River's Sage, who absolutely impressed me with her calm, friendly
demeanor. Not only is Sage an excellent hunter and family member,
she also pulls Will on a wheeled sled iditarod style. Sage is out of
Snips Cajun Cody SH (www.walnuthillsgsps.us) and Wind River's
Tag You're It JH (www.windrivers-gsp.com). Sage also has
numerous show champions in her pedigree as well.
Jack's Sire is Autumn Breeze's Rocky II, bred by Ed Erickson of
Autumn Breeze Kennel in Minnesota (www.abkvc.com). Rocky earned
a Prize I Natural Ability title, and a Prize I Utility title when he was
2-years, 5-months of age with a maximum score of 204. Rocky is out
of Int CH VC Sharp Shooters Prairie Dancer MH (Tango), and VC Tall
Oak's Amazin Angel. Rocky's siblings have also scored very well in
NAVHDA with several Prize I and Prize II Utility titles.
dog to observe in the field. Both his pointing and retrieving instincts
are exceptional.
At 12 months Max was steady to wing and retrieved to hand. He has
already conducted duck retrieves and has consistently shown the
natural ability to be a prized Utility dog.
Due to his exceptional natural abilities, I decided to have him
evaluated by running him in a NAVHDA Natural Ability Test. He
received a 110 pt, Prize I at 13 months! His only deduction was a
single point from the pheasant track in a roaring downpour! He
received perfect scores in Pointing, Field Search, Desire to Work,
Water, and Cooperation!
Max's five generation pedigree includes dual champions, multiple
show champions and multiple master hunters. His breeding has a
strong influence from the Pottsiepen line, as he is the grandson of
Bjorn vom Jaegermeister , call name Bailey (D1, S1, VGP2, Vbr, V1,
HD FRei). Max's sire is line bred Dual Champion, AFC, Stradivarius
Baroque.
Max now resides with a nice family in North Carolina.
