A Showcase of pups from Megun's third litter, whelped May 14, 2008

INT CH/VC Sharp Shooter's Hot Rod X VC Sharp Shooter's Megun v. Lacy

We were fortunate to place the pups in this litter into great hunting homes across the country - they are literally scattered from coast to coast.

This third litter has followed the standard of Megun's earlier litters, and earned another NA breeder's award. The first four of six pups each posted a prize I score.

We are always grateful for the opportunity to place pups in homes with families that will provide excellent care and guidance. Here's a recent email that let us know we are being successful:

Craig and Jana,

Joanne is wonderful. She arrived at my house about 8PM last night. I took her on a short walk, she sat patiently while the neighbors said hello to her, she ran around the backyard and retrieved a frisbee about 10 times. She seemed very excited to run around the backyard and she ate her dinner and drank a lot of water with no issues..

I took her outside again at midnight and she slept until 7AM. She only whined for a few minutes.

She is just so calm and happy about everything. This morning she woke up, ate breakfast, and we went on a walk in the giant field by my house. She found an old gatorade bottle, brought it to me and we played catch for a while. I left the cord you sent with her on and whenever she would run too far I would just call her back and she always returned.

She is also fantastic around my daughter. I introduced them this morning and Joanne was very patient with her and just wanted to give kisses.

I will keep you updated on her and send you some photos in the next few days.

Anna and Fabian

Scarecrow's Pointin' Panzer (Panzer)
(NA I, 112 pts)

Panzer has started life with John and Jodi Price in Ohio. The family includes a couple of kids and an older shorthair Jetta. Panzer is learning the ropes of retrieving, and is gaining valuable experience on wild bird hunts in Michigan.

Scarecrow’s BIrds Beaucoup (Boo)
(NA I, 110 pts)

Boo is joining Randy and Linda Hulsey in Colorado, along with an older (10-month old) GSP named Alex. This pair of youngsters is keeping the Hulsey family busy, as they seem to be willing "partners in crime" in the backyard. We are looking forward to progress reports on both Boo and Alex as they mature.

(Razz) 5/14/08 -- 9/05/08

Razz lived the high life in Minnesota with Mike and Teresa Anderson. He was swimming, chasing rabbits in the garden, and is retrieving bumpers by 10 weeks of age, and had wiggled his way into the family's heart. His motto was: Its great to be alive! He passed away too soon, but will not be forgotten.

Scarecrow's Winter Storm (Bailee)
(NA I, 110 pts)

"Bailee" arrived at Mike and Teresa's place in mid September, and she hit the ground running. By October, she started to learn the details of chasing Minnesota grouse, pointed her first woodcock, and began to handle pheasants in the Dakotas with style... learning to track down and retrieve cripples like a big dog! She's got that off switch that we are breeding for, at home and on long rides. Mike and Teresa have introduced her to hunting and traveling across much of the mid-west and west; early fall 2009 has initiated her waterfowling career as she's retrieving large Canada geese without problems.

Scarecrow's Natalya d Vogeljaegerin (Tally)

This little female made a long flight to Georgia, where she's settling in with Anna Gordon Holladay and their young daughter Elodie. Anna's husband Fabian has just returned from Iraq, and he is already starting Tally on her journey as a versatile hunter.

Scarecrow's Bear River Rendezvous (Witt)
(NA I, 112 pts)

This little guy is going places... he's landed in Wisconsin with Mike Clear's family. Witt has a great future ahead -- he took to handling pheasants in North Dakota just like an older dog -- showing considerable maturity by calmly working through the excitement of multiple bird flushes, pointing, tracking and retrieving birds with style. We are looking forward to tracking this confident young dog's progress. Update 2010: Mike reports that Witt continues to impress in the field.
