Bronco X Evie - puppy bitch - Bravo Grandson: Pup
Hi Linda & Dale - We have 8 gorgeous pups- 5 yellows and 3 blacks. Blacks - 1 female and 2 males Yellows - 4 females and 1 male. I can't tell you how fabulous these puppies are! Bronco has made a fine father. We are having a really hard time not getting attached to them all - any tips on that??? They were 4 weeks old on Sunday and are really starting to show their personalities.We are still debating which one we will keep. One of the yellow girls is really shaping up to be the best female, so I may still be without the black girl I'm looking for. Oh well, maybe next year! Good luck on you Labor Day puppies - they should be great. We'll talk to you soon.Gaye
Sire of this litter is Sylvan Meadows Black Rock Bronco.
Hi there, Reilly is now officially
Black Rock Life of Reilly CD, JH, CC, CGC! (Boomer X Bubbles)
Reilly finished his JH title with style at the Oregon Retriever Trial Club held at Sauvie Island in Portland Oregon yesterday. He had 4 very nice retrieves and received compliments from the judges (Jim Morris and Phil Speer). After Reilly's first retrieve, Jim said he really likes a dog that looks like it knows what it is doing. For all the attitude he gives me at times, it has never diminished his excellent marking ability and he marked those birds dead-on today. He also tried something new and delivered promptly to hand - he was very pleased with himself. Jim said Reilly reminds him of a dog he used to have. The weather was the best I could have hoped for in mid-July. It was overcast with a nice breeze until about noon, and then the sun beat down hard (although the temp was a pleasant 74 degrees).
Reilly is really enjoying his tracking lessons and is making good progress. We have introduced turns and crosstracks, and he has not had difficulty with these. Our tracks are only about 150-200 yards right now (still using food too), but that is fine. He is still tracking on a short leash, so the next step is to track with a long line (they have to track 20 feet ahead of the handler at the test). We are going to be really busy in the next month and a half, so I am not sure how much time we will have for tracking practice, but we will get there eventually. Barb said that if reilly earns his tracking title, he will win the PSLRA versatility award. I entered Reilly in Open A at the PSLRA specialty August 1-2 Darlene
