What a wild ride it has been with our Woody.  He is an excellent close ranging personal gundog, who’s brought home the birds successfully every grouse season for 9 years.  Combining intense desire with a staunch point and dependable retrieve, Woody has fulfilled our dreams for a dependable hunting companion who is a treasured member of our household.

 

 Woody was an excellent “showman” during his show career.  He was Best Puppy In Match on his first day in the ring at three months.  Woody has had an astonishing show career in both the US and Canada including multiple Best Puppy awards, championships, breed wins, group placements and ultimately a CKC Best in Show and AKC Best Veteran in Show.  While we have owned, trained and hunted shorthairs for years, Woody was our first experience in the show dog world.  Thanks to all of you who have supported us and cheered him on over the years!

 

Specialed in Canada on a limited basis, Woody  was number three GSP in 2000 and number two GSP in 2001 while successfully hunting each fall season in Vermont for grouse and woodcock.
