The 2010 trial season is a wrap for the "girls".
We ran another trial in Missouri this week-end and it's all over but the crying for me. (Not real, actual crying of course).
The first series of the open was very difficult as the long retired gun was directly over top of, and 200 yards deep of, the short retired. Dogs had to really be looking to see both birds thrown with the tempting flyer station off to the side.
Miikka pinned the flyer and the short retired. She ran the perfect line to the long retired and I thought we had it in the bag. About 15 yards from the bird, she popped. She couldn't take it anymore I guess. She is training and running like a new dog, but the skeletons are still in her closet. There are many times she is the best dog on the truck on a certain test in training and other days I wonder if she'll ever come around fully.
Darbi did a very nice job on the first series. She pinned the long retired, which made me very proud. Then the second series was a land blind with several tight keyholes (places the dog had to run through) and a poison bird only 10-15 feet off line. Only 12 dogs of the 36 that ran did the blind in any reasonable fashion and most dogs picked up the poison bird. Unfortunately Darbi was one of those who "pinned" the poison bird. I think it's the first poison bird she's ever picked up in her life, and it goes to show how difficult the test was as she usually avoids poison birds with a passion.
I'm pretty thrilled with Darbi's 2010 season overall. She won Opens in both the US and Canada and made it 7 series in our first National. Now it's time for her to be a momma one last time. I'm very excited to be keeping a puppy from this upcoming breeding. Darbi will be bred to NFC AFC Maxx's Surprise via artificial insemination and my waiting list is already full for this exciting litter.
Miikka's season was a wash to me. Full of heartbreak and moments of frustration. She is coming back into her own and getting better each and every day though. I've had thoughts of retiring her as she will eternally suffer from many years of bad training when I never knew any better, but we'll keep plugging along for now.
Libby shows her mother's pin point marking ability and looks to be a very, very exciting dog. She is stylish, smart and a team player. I can't wait until she breaks out in the Derby next year. She is currently doing pattern blinds with gusto and she will finish her Basics with the swim-by once we get down to the warmer waters of Texas.
I'll probably be slow to blog until Darbi comes in season, which is hopefully soon.

Break
I'm at a field trial in Missouri.
Miikka was early to run today.
Test is a quad with an out of order flyer.
Miikka broke on the flyer.
It was close, but not what I'd consider a breaking bird.
She's 6 1/2 years old and has never broke in her life. Ever.
I laughed. She was into it.
If she breaks again next week-end, I'll bet I won't think it's so funny anymore.

Yankee
A friend of mine sent me this picture of "Yankee".
He was running the Open at a field trial in Mississippi this week-end.
Yankee is from my very first litter (Tiger x Darbi, 2006) and he's officially known as Elmingo Flight Director XXXVI.
What a handsome guy.
Two more trials left for me this year, and then the long, hard grind that is the 2010 trial season is over.
October 11, 2010
Trial? What Trial?
"Girls" went to a field trial in Kansas this week-end without me. I know neither of them finished the Open, but they both tried. I don't know all the details, but I'm sure I'll hear all about it when I get back.
Me? I've been in San Francisco. Hanging out. Watched the 49'ers play the Eagles at Candlestick Park, toured Fisherman's Wharf, saw the Blue Angels in action and roamed the University of San Francisco where my brother is a professor.
I do admit, I miss my pooches and can't wait to see them.
But I had a great time!

Eider
While at the Canadian National a couple weeks ago, I got the opportunity to RE meet "Eider".
He is Elmingo's Pacific Eider MH, and is from the Shaq x Miikka litter of 2007.
He is a very handsome boy.
I'm not sure if dogs recognize their "kids", but Miikka was happy to pose for a picture with him.

Great day for Peanut
Bizarro world continued on today.
The land blind was 475 yards!! I was a little freaked out because Miikka has always had stopping issues. No way, no how, does she do this blind I thought.
She did it! AND...stopped.on.every.whistle.
She was called back to the water blind along with 17 other dogs of the original 50+ that started the trial. It was a very hard, very long blind in a stiff cross-wind. A number of dogs picked up. Miikka was doing great until the last piece of land and she decided she was going to play it safe by staying in the water and not get out on the point. She sliced past the point, and I knew it wouldn't be good enough to play. Only 7 dogs ended up doing the blind and being called to the last series.
But I was SOOO happy to see her running like the dog she was last year and she was all smiles too.

Bizarro World
So...I'm at a field trial in Lincoln, Nebraska this week-end. It was a pretty difficult first series the judges set up yesterday.
Darbi had to handle and was dropped, and Miikka PINNED all three birds. It was a wow moment.
Ever since Miikka lost her brain after having puppies, it was always the expectation that Darbi would be back and Miikka would do something weird and be dropped.
I'm going to start walking backwards and put my clothes on inside out, in case this is a reverse universe.
Well...my little Peanut is on to the second series today for the first time in a long time. Finally.
I knew she was coming around. Here's hoping the wheels don't come off quite yet.

Alberta Sunrise
Looks like Miikka's kids had a great time during an early season Alberta hunt.
On the left is Lili (Shaq x Miikka 2007) and on the right is Teah (Shaq x Miikka - 2009).
The sunrise was breath taking.

Tired
The "girls" enjoying their last night in BC before heading back to Colorado.
I would assume Darbi is a lot more tired than Miikka though, as Miikka didn't run the National.
September 24, 2010
Out
Lost Darbs in the seventh series today. It was a bummer as she was running so good. After I got over my initial disappointment, I reflected on how good she was doing up until that point and the fact it was our first National.
Way to go Darb, ya done good. It was an honor to stand beside you.

Fifth Tomorrow
Darbi is running great!
She is still "clean" through 4 series...and lots of dogs have handles.
We still have six series to go though...so we're not even half way there yet. My goal was to make it five series in my (and Darbi's) first National, so fingers crossed for tomorrow.
We started with 70 dogs are there are 39 left going to the fifth series.

National Starts
Had fun at the first day of the National today. It was a tough, tough test. Short, tight and tricky.
Here's a little video of the test as test dog ran...probably hard to see I'm sure.
Darbi did a great job! We figure that 40% or more of the dogs handled on the first test and she was clean.
After the marks, the dog had to run a little land blind, so it was a combined 1st and 2nd series. She two whistled the blind, but no dogs really had problems on this part of the test.
I'm glad to get that first series over with. Now on to test #3 tomorrow!

Pre-National
I'm in Merritt, BC to run the Canadian National Retriever Championship.
A LONG drive to get here from Colorado, but well worth it. Amazing scenery.
We have only been here to train for two days before the National starts tomorrow. I am running Darbi myself, which was a tough decision. I thought about asking Kenny to run her as she runs so well for him and he is obviously much better then me...but I really wanted to experience a National myself as a handler and chose to give Darbi a "handicap" by running her myself. I sure hope I don't mess it up. She is running well and training great.
Kenny is running 5 dogs; Arson, Ollie, Rosie, Sinner and Tea.
Here is a pic of where we trained two days ago.
Fun part of my day is that I got to meet "Eider". Eider is Elmingo's Pacific Eider and I have not seen him since I put him on a plane at 8 weeks old. He is from the 2007 Shaq x Miikka litter and he is here all week as one of the "set up" dogs for the judges. Eider completed his Master Hunter last week-end and he looks just like mom. Was so fun to see him.

Cheyenne Trial
Having a lazy Sunday morning.
The Open finished at the Cheyenne, Wyoming field trial yesterday, so it will be a nice day off.
Darbi finished with a JAM in the Open. She ran a great trial! It was actually a 5 series field trial more or less as the judges decided to run a second water blind before moving on to the water marks. Darbi's water blinds were incredible, but she had a hunt on the last bird of the last test to finish out of the placements. She sure is running good!
Miikka ran a very respectable first/second series. It was a double and a blind. After picking up the flyer, one had to run the blind and then go out and get the long retired. She had a long hunt on the flyer, ran a great land blind and then went about 50 yards deep of the long retired before coming back and picking it up. The two hunts weren't good enough to move on to the next series, but I was thrilled! Miikka is training like a new dog and it's beginning to show at trials!
Leaving in a few days for the Canadian National. It will be my first National and I am both excited and nervous.
Miss Libby is currently on the "T" in her yard work. According to Kenny, she is "flying" through her Basics! She still thinks it is all very funny.
And CONGRATS to Darbi's son Turq for getting a Derby third this week-end in Cheyenne!!

Close...
Had a good week-end with the dogs at a trial in Red Deer.
Darbi got a Reserve Certificate of Merit in the first open (5th place). I thought she ran a great trial. Her land blind was a little rough (it's our weakness right now), but she did great on the water blind and last series. She also had a great set of opening marks on a HUGE test. She was one placement away from a title...but we'll get there someday. Entries were over 50 dogs, which is very large for an Alberta trial.
I scratched Miikka from the Opens as she is running weird. But, I did run her as test dog on the water blind and water marks. She had a very good blind (better than Darbi and Ollie I thought) and tried very hard on the marks! She popped on the "go" bird (which is her thing now), but pinned the two retired marks!
Ollie got third in the Open the first day! His water blind and water marks were not as good as Darbi's, but his first two series were amazing! He was in great shape after the land blind in the second Open, but because of the big entries, the Open was being carried into today...so I scratched him. I'm hitting the road back to Colorado this afternoon and decided I didn't want to spend another day at a trial.
I'm a little trialed out.
We're running another trial this week-end in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Kenny will be taking over Darbi the rest of the year in hopes of qualifying her for the US National. She needs two more points to qualify now that she has the win. And Ollie needs one more point to qualify as well. It will be extremely difficult, but here's hoping!

Good Qualifying Week
I just got word that "Shadow" (Elmingo's Cedar's Shadow - Tiger x Darbi 2006) WON the qualifying in Manitoba this past week-end!
Shadow has not run in a field trial until this year and she is entirely Amateur trained and handled. She has a few passes towards her Master Hunter title as well, running in only one or two tests a year.
Congrats to her and owner Alan!!
This comes on the heels of Matti's second and Meg's third in the qualifying.
Here is a picture of Meg and owner Jill running the Qual in Ontario.
Way to go Elmingo puppies!!

Back in the mother land
I'm back in Canada for a little while and enjoying seeing friends and family.
On the way up I spent a few days training in the "middle of nowhere" (AKA Wyoming).
Miss Libby is still a star, at least in my eyes. She is going through Basics with tail wagging and a great attitude. She thinks everything is funny and for her benefit, just like her mother.
While in Wyoming I took a few pictures with my zoom lens of Libby marking a bird I threw. I run her 99% of the time, but once in a while it is nice to get out in the field and watch my dogs from a different vantage point.

This past week-end I ran a field trial in Alberta. I had three dogs entered; Darbi, Miikka and Ollie. Ollie is FC Mr. Oliver D. Place and I brought him up with me in the hopes of qualifying him for the Canadian National in September. Ollie and I got SECOND place in the Open, which qualified him!! Nice to get that out of the way early.
We ran two opens on the week-end. Darbi was having a great trial up until the last bird of the last series in the first open...that's how trials go sometimes. And she had two hunts in the first series of the second Open, which was not good enough to play. She sure is fun right now and I'm having a great time running and training her.
Miikka went out in the first series both days. Still not herself of course, but I did see a big improvement...I think we're on the right path.
And a BIG congrats to "Matti" (Elmingo's With One Twist - Shaq x Miikka 2007) who was second in the qualifying this past week-end!!
I had two goals when I came up here to run the trials. One was to qualify Ollie, which I did. The other is to finish Darbi's titles. We have three more Opens to run in the coming week, so I still have time.
Fingers crossed.
August 22, 2010
Yeah Meg!
Congrats to "Meg" (Elmingo's Prime Suspect - Prime x Darbi 2008) for not only finishing her FIRST qualifying, but getting THIRD place!!
Meg is not yet two years old and also has some Canadian Derby points.
This was also the first time that owner Jill ran her in a field trial.
Way to go Meg & Jill!!

Coming around...
So...about Peanut.
I've been writing about what a frustrating spring we've had with her. She hasn't been herself since she had her puppies.
We've tried playing nicey nice with her and we've tried digging into her too. Nothing was working.
Well...it seems we've turned the corner. She has been training gang busters the last couple weeks.
Fingers crossed, but it seems Miikka is back.

FIRST and third
Darbi WON the Open at the trial in Colorado this week-end!!!! Her first US Open placement is a win and I'm over the moon.
Darbi and I have had a lot of bad luck this year and I asked Kenny run her hoping to change her luck.
It worked!
Big thanks to Kenny as usual. He is behind all our successes in the past couple years. When he got Darbi he told me "she's a nice dog, just not very well trained". A blow to my ego, yes, as I had done most her training myself, but it opened my eyes.
And Pedro was THIRD in another stakes race this week-end. He ran hard, but was battling on the front end in fractions that were too fast for him and he tired at the end.
Three goals for Darbi this year now:
Qualify for US National
Finish her Canadian titles
Have a good showing at the Canadian National
I have a full waiting list for Darbi's fall litter, but it looks like the litter will have to wait until we see if Darbi qualifies for the US National or not.
Pictures to come...

Another fourth!
I got to run Turq in the Derby this week-end in Colorado and we had a blast. He was such a good boy.
We received a 4th place and I am very proud of his efforts. There was more than one occasion that he reminded me of running his mother in Derbies many moons ago.
I ran Darbi FIRST of 80-plus dogs in the Open and we didn't do the test. She was a bit wild with me on line and that is a first for her. It did make me giggle, but it also showed me that she needs to be nailed down. Kenny is going to run her all week and in the trial next week-end. That will burst her bubble a bit I think.
Miikka is still acting weird. She is also nesting here at home and showing signs of false pregnancy from her heat cycle a couple months ago. I'm hoping she comes out of it soon and we're nursing her along as best as we can right now while her brain seems to be on vacation.
My training group had another great week-end! First, 3rd and Reserve JAM in the Open!
Arson (the dog I won with in Canada) WON and this titled him in the US.
Miss Libby continues to be a star and she's starting to run the Open marks as singles now and doing great! She still makes me laugh every single day and I love her personality.

Fourth and Fourth
Congrats to "Turq" (Backwater's Smokin Turq - Prime x Darbi 2008) who got a Derby fourth this past week-end! He is 3 for 4 in finishing US derbies so far!
It was a great week-end for my training group. Kenny and "Ollie" WON the Open and Joe and "Rosie" WON the Amateur. There were smiles all around on Sunday.
And my racehorse "Pedro" was fourth in his Stakes debut. He ran against stiff competition in the Graduation Stakes in Manitoba. Horses shipped in from the US and Canada to run the race. He was in the lead until the final few jumps and was only a length behind the winner at the wire! I really thought we had it...and he ran so well.
Pedro is being shipped to Alberta to run in the Alberta Sales Stakes for his next start August 14!

Ping's first ribbon
Congrats to Ping (Shaq x Miikka 2009) and owner/handler Peter for passing their first NAHRA started test!!
And also congrats to Pie (Ping's older "sister") for completed their MHR with Peter's daughter Morgan!
Way to go!!

Lazy days of summer
HOT here in Colorado. Annoyingly hot.
We're still getting in lots of good training though, gearing up for a stretch of trials starting this week-end.
But, it's not all work and no play for the girls. They seem to be enjoying the heat more then I am.
From left to right:
Libby, Miz (FC AFC Mizpah Miss), Miikka and Darbi.
Sadly, Miz was retired this spring due to a cruciate tear at 9 years old. Being the 3 time US National Finalist that she is, she deserves her days in the sun. Miz is also the "cranky" dog that bit Libby on the tongue...they get along famously now. I guess Libby is less of a pain, but if you asked me I'd say the jury is still out.
