Major Achievements

2022

This was a busy year for us. Life felt more like normal!

Laney continued her film work and will be seen in another romance movie that I will share once a release date is announced. In the spring she got her CKC Master Hunter title in 6 tests, and got her first pass towards her Grand. In August, running tests got put on hold as she was bred to "Topper" Wynwood's Over the Top MH QA2 for her first litter of puppies, who were born in October.

Her mom Tana had a great summer, and finished her Grand MAster Hunter at the LAnark tests at the end of July. She is now qualified to run the National Master in Sasktoon in summer 2023.

Baby Nova got out and earned her Junior Hunter.

Sophie the black labrador finally got the last pass she needed for her Junior Hunter, which had been delayed due to COVID.

Our client dogs also had a great summer with quite a few WC's, JH's and one MH earned!

2021

Laney got her SH and WCX. She also started working in film! She has been playing the role of the Hellhound on FX's What We Do in the Shadows, was featured in AppleTV's Five Days at Memorial, the romance movie Love in Wolf Creek, and a number of commercials.

Tana picked up a couple of Master passes towards her GMH.

2020

This year was pretty much a write-off due to COVID!

Laney got her WCI in September.

2019

Tana racked up a few more Master passes towards her GMH, and took a 4th and a JAM in Qualifying field trials. She also ran her first AKC Qualifying, and made it to the 3rd series in a large field of dogs.

Little Laney earned her JH and her WC before her 1st birthday.

2018

This was a mixed year for us with both highs and lows.

At the end of May our young girl Tana got her first Master pass at the LOC HT, and her WCX at MVRTC. Youngsters Portia and DeeDee both got Junior Passes, and Portia earned her WC. The next weekend, her mom Bonnie and I finished our first field trial together, earning a CM at Long Point. Then at Horseshoe, DeeDee completed her JH. Portia would complete her JH at the GRCGT tests in September.

At MVRTC, Tana got her second MH pass, qualifying after a very challenging water series that proved too much for several dogs. Tana got her third MH pass at Long Point at the end of July, and then completed her title at Montreal with back to back passes. She is now Sterre Spirit of the West MH WCX

In the week that followed tragedy struck, and our dearest Wings collapsed and passed unexpectedly while we were visiting friends in the Eastern Townships. Our sadness was lifted at the CCRQ field trial, where Bonnie took 1st, Tana took 2nd, and Bonnie's brother Baron took 3rd in Qualifying. This made both girls *** or Qualified All Age in Canada.

At the Ottawa RC, Both girls finished once again, with Bonnie earning 4th and Tana a CM. That weekend Baron also passed his second consecutive National Master out in Nova Scotia.

In October, Tana turned three, and that weekend, her mom Bonnie finished the Qualifying at MVRTC taking 3rd place to earn the last two points for her QFTR title. She is now GMH NMH Sterre Texas Bluebonnet QFTR WCX CGN

I lost my dad at the end of October, and the day we planned the funeral service, Tana was confirmed in whelp. She had four healthy strong puppies on Nov. 29th.

The newly minted MH ran all five series, going out on the final water mark. She was one of 19 dogs out of 46 starters who made it to the final series, and while she did not get that NMH title, we are still proud of the work she did.
