Under the handle of good friend Robert Tomczak, Echo, having just turned 1 had a very impressive performance at 12 mile pass in Utah.

Paige started her season off by winning a very competetive 20 dog retrieving stake in Illinois.

At 6 Months and a few days Echo won his first puppy stake at the Show Me Vizsla Club.

Paige earned the title of Amateur Field Champion at the Vizsla Club of Michigan trial winning a very competitive 20 dog stake.  She also took third place in the Amateur Limited stake.  Paige is now finished both ways.

On September 6th, 2009 Rampaige won the Open Gun Dog at the GSP of Michigan Trial in Ionia Michigan.  These two retrieving points put her over the top and completed her run toward a Field Championship.  Rob Tomczak (on the right) has played a pivotal roll scouting and helping me fine tune Paige's performance. 

July 2009 we obtained Echo from Robert Tomczak's Shiloh Kennels.

Borat, named by and purchased from Greg and Liz Dixon. (www.rockcreekwalkers.com)  Borat is a 16 hand, 4 year old gelding that will greatly improve my training program as well as facilitate better handling and scouting of dogs during competetion. 

On March 19 2009 Bela took Second Runner Up in the NVA Derby Classic.  It was the largest entry in the history of the event with 41 dogs entered.  Robert Tomczak scouted Bela.  Robert’s help with the development of  Bela paired with his constructive feedback on my handling has played an important role in our success.

Bela had a fantastic derby career.  She earned 5 blue ribbons and 13 other placements.  In this picture she won three of the four events she was entered in and placed second in the other event.  She maintained the number one spot on the VCA Top Ten until aging out on March 12th 2009.

Feb 2009 Paige took first place in the Am Gun Dog Ret. stake at the GWP pointer trial held at Des Planes.
