Planned Breeding – 2016 Litter

VC Ch Roughneck Walk the Line MH “Johnny”

Spring Valley’s Summer Brew UT1 204 “Shandy”

Johnny has excelled in every venue. From the show ring to hunt testing to the wild bird fields, he has been outstanding in every way. In the kennel or the house, he is easy-going and a joy to have around. We cannot think of a more perfect example of what a shorthair should be.

Striking describes Shandy’s looks – she is jet black, with just a bit of hot white on her underside. Shandy is a little pistol She is a smaller female with lots of go, yet very calm in the house. She loves hunting sharptails, pheasants, ducks and geese each fall. She’s a natural backer and is always eager to “do it right.”

This is a repeat breeding of our 2014 litter. These puppies have shown exceptional natural ability, strong desire in both field and water along with a strong work ethic and excellent cooperation. Puppies should be ready to go to their new homes on or about April 15, 2016

Spring Valley’s Wish I Was a Boy

Butchie is from our 2014 litter Shandy X Johnny. We are so excited about this girl! She is super cooperative, and just wants to learn. In her first day of hunting sharptails, she had those wily birds figured out. Butch earned a maximum score of 112 and a Prize I in her Natural Ability Test, and is testing in Utility this fall.
