Caroway's JJ Rocky Bottom got a 4th place in the western New York trial last week and a R-Jam at the SRRC DQ Friday, Also Rocky is owned by C. C. Andreson and handled by Rick Millheim. The best part she is Rachels's sister and John Nichols also has a female out of the same litter. {Babe X Hummer]

Hey Billy,

That is great. How much more time left in the derby and what is Babe's breeding?

Rocky got another 4th in the derby this weekend at the SJRC club trial. This was reported by Carol.

Desmarais of Cold Harbor got 3rd place at the IRC derby. She is the litter mate to Rocky. Desi is run and owned by John Nichols. Linda Paterson and I bred these two dogs. Rachel [sister]is knocking on the derby door. All three dogs are Jersey born [Hummer X Babe breeding] I'm so proud!!

Congrats!!!!!

Nice job!! Congrats!

Congratulations to John Nichols and Desi on their derby 3rd.
Congrats also to Carol Andersen and Rocky on their second derby 4th.

Rachell got a derby second at the ACC trial. That's 3 puppies out of the same litter with derby placements.

Looks like 3 young ones to watch out for!

Congtratulations and when due they turn two?

Rachel got a Jam at the Midwest trial this weekend. She is trained and handled by Mitch Paterson. YAHOO!!

Rocky gets a 3rd place at the LIRC trial in Winslow, NJ. Owned by Carol Anderson. Ricky Millheim at the wheel. Ricky did the break out work for Decks, Tiger, Hummer and now Rocky. YAHOO!!

Congrats! Ricky did Curry's basics too.

Very good news in the next crop of FT peakes!!

Billy,

what is in Babe that has some nice Peake owners running her pups? Has she been bred before and produced well? Don't give me a one word response!!

Yours truly,

Scott

Scott,

I believe "Babe' is Rock Rivers Misbehavin Babe (decks X jj's nala marie)......If this is true - she has a littermate up here that is a QAA MH that is a very nice dog with a lotof bottom and drive....


Consequently, a Hummer X Babe breeding would be a linebreeding back to Decks....

Now I could be totally wrong, and I am sure someone will kindly correct me, if this is not so....

Yup. Babe is a wonderful dog with a lot of prey drive. Out of Decks. It's all about prey drive and where you came [dog] from if you want to win in field trials. These 3 girls most likely will get their letters up front if they stay in an excellent program and stay healthy. This is the second time Babe was bred to Hummer and won't be done again. The puppy we kept from the first litter looked excellent but died in an accident.

It certainly sounds like Rick Milheim's apprenticeship with Danny Farmer has certainly benefited a number of well known Chesapeake field trial dogs.

But then again, folks in Colorado have known the competitiveness of Danny Farmer for 25 years. I think many breathed a sign of relief when he went to Minn. this past summer.

Danny's 300 plus Open wins and 17 or 18 straight at one time, is a testament to his training methods, skill and great dogs.

Danny and his mentor, Judy Aycock once put a wonderful collar seminar in Colorado in '86. The list of titled dogs trained by those two is just incredible.

PS. Justin Tackett of Waterdog recently did a real nice interview with Danny.

Bruce Ahlers got a 3rd in the open with Rags and Rachel got another derby jam. This was at Miss. Valley RC.

Congratulations to "Rachel", Billy, Linda and Mitch who I read someplace also won the Amateur at the same trial with "Desi" and the puppy stake with their yound Lab. What a great weekend they had!

And of course, a big congratulations to Bruce & Marlene with "Rags." I've always thought she was pretty cool from the first time I saw her in 2001 when we were picking up the puppies from the last "Boss" x "Sammie" litter. Hope she gets there!

Keith

Looks like Rachell Jam'd another Derby at the Lincoln Trial trial this weekend. Linda was at the wheel!
