While the name may give you
the impression this “looker” is a princess… nothing could be further from the
truth. Diva thinks life is best when experienced at the speed of light, and a
little mud, snow, rain, and general ugly conditions won’t get in her way.
That’s probably why Diva received two Prize II’s in Natural Ability. Both times
she received a three in search… not too many puppies run too big and hunt too
hard at five months of age. Like I said, not much of a princess.
When she was a pup, you could feel the amount of unbridled energy in Diva. While it proved to be annoying sometimes, her nonstop energy made her a quick speed in the training department. Diva was a natural retriever but we decided to force break her early to take the “edge” off. She had all of her obedience nailed by the time she was 10 months old. Even more impressive is that she was so cooperative that she maintained her prey drive throughout the process. Her speed and grace in the field mirrors that of her father; and like Tango, she too is a “duck dog.” Birds are what Diva lives for and sometimes it seems that not much else matters, unless of course she’s snuggling with the kids in front of the TV. Diva’s first litter with INT CH, VC Shooting Starrs Sharp Shooter, MH earned a NAVHDA Natural Ability AND a Utility Breeder Award in the same year, all before they were 20 months of age. Every puppy tested earned a Prize I in their Natural Ability and Utility tests, many handled by novices or first time NAVHDA members, and five are Versatile Champions. Her litter with INT CH, VC Sharp Shooters Hot Rod earned an NA Breeders Award by seven months of age. | ||

As an adult Gretchen hasn’t lost that spark, but she has grown into an honest and cooperative hunting buddy. She’s learned the ropes on the prairies and in the potholes of North and South Dakota and the ruffed grouse woods of Wisconsin. She’s equally comfortable in all places and when she’s at home she’ll still never pass up a game of tag or “rough and tumble” with the rest of her dog family. The party is always wherever Gretchen is! |

Take a whole lot of desire, a little independence, along with the willingness to please and you have just described the stylish little dog we call "Rainey." Triple J’s Run Rainey Run earned her Prize I, 201 point Utility score at two years of age with both enthusiasm and ease. A pairing between Shooter and Kelly’s Virginia Classic, 2x Prize I in Utility, produced this NAVHDA Natural Ability and Utility Breeder Award winning litter. Rainey has a natural instinct to move through the ruffed grouse cover in Northern Wisconsin, and the North Dakota pheasant trips let Rainey show off her run, solid points and incredible desire and tenacity. A Real Natural! Rainey also displays a great affection for kids and is a joy to have at home. Her first litter, sired by Sharp Shooters APC Algonquin, earned a NAVHDA Natural Ability Breeder Award, as did her second and third litters, sired by VC Sharp Shooters Time Bomb MH. | |

Chance's natural abilities exceeded all of our expectations. Her training was minimal, yet she achieved unusually high scores at a young age. Chance's desire to please complements her high energy level and makes for a biddable companion, both in the field and in the home. Chance is a member of a NAVHDA Natural Ability Breeders Award and a Utility Breeders Award litter. All five pups were tested and received Prize I's in Natural Ability, receiving an average score of 109 points. Four became Utility dogs, two of which went on to become NAVHDA Versatile Champions (VC Sharp Shooter's Me-Oh-My Ty, MH and VC Sharp Shooter's Little Rascal, MH, CD). Her litter with KS Orson vom Pottsiepen continued that success by achieving Natural Ability and Utility Breeder Awards. One went on to earn a Versatile Champion title. These dogs are as gifted as their parents and are some of the most conformationally pleasing dogs we've ever produced. | |

Annie's parents are Shooter and Tess. She is a Versatile Champion, has three NAVHDA Utility Prize I's, a Natural Ability Prize I (110 pts) and is an AKC Master Hunter. Annie's training has been minimal as retrieving, steadiness and honoring have come naturally to her. The intensity of her honoring is matched only by her strong pointing instinct. She and INT CH VC Sharp Shooters Prairie Dancer MH produced a NAVHDA Natural Ability and Utility Breeder Award litter, with one pup becoming a Versatile Champion and a Master Hunter. Annie is owned by Mark Picard of Take Aim Kennels. | |

The breeding that produced Jazz was one that could only produce pups of high desire, intelligence and conformation. Her grandparents and
father and mother (Sharp Shooters Corkpine Bid) are from versatile German and American championship stock as her impressive pedigree shows. Jazz is following their heritage by achieving a NAVHDA Natural Ability Prize I with a maximum score and a NAVHDA Utility Prize I, 201 points.
Jazz was the only female in her litter. Then, and ever since, she has proved she can play with the big boys. She’s shown high prey drive, love of the water and superior hunting instincts. Thus the reason for her registered name suffix, MD, which stands for Meat Dog. Thankfully Jazz possesses the natural instincts to retrieve and honor, which made training her a breeze and contributed to many pleasurable and relaxing hunting trips. Her desire to please is only exceeded by her love to hunt. Jazz has a medium range field search but has adapted exceptionally well to the grouse woods of Michigan, CRP land while on a pheasant hunt in Iowa, the prairies of Montana where we sought out sharptail grouse and the potholes of Canada where she retrieved many downed ducks. Jazz is equally content in our home and with children. Additionally, she took readily to motherhood. She is truly a versatile dog and one that any person would be proud to own. Lance Vernam of Michigan is Jazz's owner and the co-breeder of her litters. | |

Joy is the product of INT CH VC Shooting Starr’s Sharp Shooter MH and VC Tess Von Klana Spirit, MH. These impressive parents passed on to Joy an intense desire to produce game yet an abundance of cooperation that has made her an excellent hunter of wild game, a calm house pet and a dog eager to learn each phase of the NAVHDA training and testing program. Joy’s genetics supplied her with an intense point, natural backing, high desire, an uncanny ability to retrieve downed game and the spirit of cooperation that make her such a pleasure to hunt with. Joy’s 112 NA score and her 201UT score are just a small indication of her abilities in the field and flooded timber. Joy lives to hunt. During the annual fall and spring migration of woodcock through my backyard Joy points well over 250 wild woodcock annually. Each year we take a week to hunt grouse, woodcock and pheasant in Pennsylvania, a week in Kansas pursuing quail, pheasant and prairie chickens, and then every remaining weekend in Maryland hunting quail, ducks or geese. Joy’s retrieval of downed wood ducks in the flooded timber and swamps is legendary. Joy’s stamina, desire, and cooperation carry her through these weeks of hunting seemingly effortlessly. Joy is owned by Chip Bonde | |

Tera was a true combination of her parent’s best qualities. She had her father’s amazing drive in the water, natural intelligence in true hunting situations and his adorable and affectionate nature. Match that with her mother’s grace and style on birds and you come up with an extremely well-rounded animal. Additionally, she inherited both of their sound body types and had good conformation. Training came easy to Tera. Her water love was absolutely inherent as we didn't have to teach her water work, but only had to foster what came to her naturally. Tera’s love for retrieving was a true reflection of her father, Shooter. She was a medium range dog that was handled with ease. Her cooperative nature and "team player" attitude made her a joy to be around, both in the field and marsh, as well as in the house. Tera was a Prize I Utility dog at two-and-a-half years of age. Her sister earned a UT Prize I, 204 points and another littermate received a Prize II, 200 points. These high scores make them part of a NAVHDA Utility Breeders Award with an average Utility score of 202 points. The same litter was also a recipient of a NAVHDA Natural Ability Breeders Award. Tera's puppies were show stoppers as she produced two Natural Ability Breeder Award litters, two Utility Breeder Award litters and three Versatile Champions. We lost Tera on November 24th, 2007 while hunting in North Dakota. While we’ll never know for certain what caused her tragic death, our best speculation is a pnuemothorax from something she must have inhaled while hunting. Our only solace is she died doing what she loved most which was hunting with and for us. | |

Tess was blessed with an abundance of style and
desire, two attributes that permeated her entire being. Her ability to find
birds made her a showstopper since her first day of testing and competition.
Tess was one of our primary hunting dogs until the end. She was the first to hit the ground and the last to jump into the trailer at the end of the day. She bagged thousands of birds while hunting, training, testing and guiding. We can only hope that her version of heaven includes prairies to the horizon, sharptail grouse, potholes and ducks, all in abundance. We will forever miss her spirit, her determination and her never ending love to hunt. _________________________________________________ | |
