Hooligan completes his JH at age 9 mos, in four straight passes!

Pocket's last breeding was done to FC/AFC Land Ahoy, currently overall the fifth ranked field trial dog in the country. Out of this litter, Lee Bilke and I kept a beautiful and promising chocolate male, Piddle Creek's High
Tide Hooligan. I did the initial training and ran Hooligan to four
straight JH passes for his title at age nine months, then brought him to
Bruce Curtis, one of the top professional young dog competition trainers in
the country, in September. Hooli turned one year on 11/11/11 and is showing strong promise. Already he is doing cold blinds and cold doubles, with retired guns, as well as, delayed triples. I had the opportunity in October to watch Bruce run him on three singles up to about 400 yards in distance, and see him slam all three., When Hooli returns to us in the spring, Lee will be running him in the derby, and I will probably run him in some hunt tests, as well. Hooli's preliminary OFA's look great and his CERF exam was normal. He is EIC and CNM clear by parentage. I expect Hooligan will accomplish great things and be a valuable addition to my stud dogs, as well.

Pocket's Master Title

HRCH Piddle Creek's Pocket Rocket MH

Pocket earned her HR title through UKC on 5/22/11 and completed her Master Hunter Title on 6/10/11 to become my fifth Master Hunter and first female Master Hunter. She was handled to her title by my friend, Lee Bilke, who has worked hard over the past year to bring Pocket out of retirement to the completion of her MH title. Pocket's HRCH (Hunting Retriever Champion title) rounded out the summer and made Pocket the most titled dog I have ever owned. She will be ten this winter but still has some juice left in her, perhaps to try the competing in some NAHRA tests. Way to Go, Pocket and Lee!
