Pond Hollow Chesapeakes

Denver at 14.5 enjoying the snow.

Pond Hollow B My Somebody To Love Barbara Abell owner. (Clark X Reesie) Hi Dyane, Yes! Lots of good updates to share. Lucy is going to her first HRC hunt test March 13 & 14 in Dublin, GA. Two weeks later she will be going to her first AKC hunt test on Lincolnton, GA. We went to our first pheasant hunt together at the end of January where she was fantastic! She was happy to grab cripples and even went on an extended solo hunt for a rooster that landed out of sight. She stu...ck with it and hunted him up. I’ll keep you updated on how the hunt tests go but she is ready. Except for the 1% of things we can’t plan for, she should pass easily. See more

Another Deadgrass beauty-Pond Hollow Don't Tread On Me. Jeb X Eider He will be casting his eyes on your girl Mitchel-LOL His registration is in the process of being changed. Good afternoon Dyane, I hope this email finds you well! Barrett is doing really well and looks beautiful. We currently have Barrett enrolled in a beginner Puppy Obedience class in Salisbury and he is doing wonderfully. I plan to join Salisbury MD Kennel Club and I am awaiting the start date of the ...next available Intro to Conformation Class to be announced that works with my work schedule. I know we originally spoke about possibly being interested in dog shows and showing Barrett in conformation competition. It is something that I’ve given a lot of thought to recently and I have done a good deal of homework trying to learn the ins and outs of it all. Brandon and I have also been in contact with Jeb’s owner Craig Larson who has been keeping in touch with us and helping to introduce me to dog shows and some of the basics of handling. We feel comfortable having Craig show us the ropes and help us out. I know that Barrett is currently on a Limited AKC Registration but would need to have a Full Registration to be eligible for Conformation showing. I know that typically you require to see the dog in person and have other pre-requisites for the registration change and I wanted to discuss that with you. He just turned 4 months old on the 18th and I’ve been looking at some shows in the spring to attend and possibly to compete with Barrett in the 6-9 puppy class. He has gotten a lot of compliments at our class at the Salisbury Kennel Club and overall Craig is very encouraging about how Barrett is shaping up. I figured now would be a good time to talk to you about the showing potential and to get your thoughts on that. We are new to this but it is really something that we are excited about and I would love to get Barrett’s Championship title, and even try a little bit of showing myself with possibly some help as we get more into it. I think it would be a great experience for us and Barrett. We also plan to attend the American Chesapeake Club National Specialty this Summer. I hope you are open to Barrett's potential. I have included a few photos of his growth. Thank you for taking the time to review and I look forward to hearing from you! Sincerely, Holly Hammond

Hi Dyane, Here is a good picture of Larson. We have gone hunting more this year and she really enjoys all the activity. She is my constant companion. Marc Another lovely Virgil kid-mom is Katie !

Hi! I hope you don’t get sick of these pictures, but this guy was loving life during a 90 minute winter beach walk. He started getting mad that he couldn’t carry away the old wood from the shipwreck! He loves the cold water! Mark... Woodly X Smiles
