Winner’s Circle!<\/p>\n

This page is dedicated to the outstanding performances in competition of individual dogs purchased from, produced by, or owned by\u00a0Twin Cedars Kennel.\u00a0 Although most of our dogs are used as hunting companions, some owners choose to show off their dog’s natural abilities and their training and handling skills in a variety of competitions, once again proving that these dogs are capable of doing both.\u00a0 If you have purchased a dog from us and have placed in competition please advise us of the details along with photos so that we can add you to the Winner’s Circle.<\/p>\n

Fergie –\u00a0<\/strong>English Pointer female out of Sunny and Gil, born January 2012<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

I entered Fergie in the Quail Forever Wild Bird Classic at the Cecil Webb Field Trial Area in Punta Gorda, Fl.\u00a0 There was thirty dogs entered in the trial.\u00a0 These were all seasoned dogs that have done many trials and had many birds shot over them. Fergie being the youngest dog there I just wanted her to find one covey and have fun watching the other dogs. No expectations but I knew she was capable of competing especially in that area because they have so many more birds there than the area we hunt.\u00a0 She has found two nice coveys in our area where the Quail numbers are very low so she\u2019s used to working hard for it. Saturday she drew to run at noon which was no problem for her she is in great shape and will hunt as long as I let her even in the Florida heat.\u00a0 She had a great ground race and found a twenty bird covey with a very stylish point, front leg up and tail straight to the sky. \u00a0The judge asked me how old she was and I told him she would be a year on the 11th. He told me I had one heck of a good bird dog.\u00a0 That night they announced the top 12 dogs for the one hour championship braces on Sunday and Fergie made it in.\u00a0 All of the dogs found birds on Sunday including Fergie.\u00a0 She looked like a pro the compliments keep coming in on my pup.\u00a0 Then something happened I never have seen her do.\u00a0 Her brace mate cut in front of her and went on point. The judge yelled out not to let her in on the other dog\u00a0 so I gave her a whoa command and she stop about 30 yards behind that dog backed perfectly. The judge later told me that he was more impressed by that back than her find. I was to because she\u2019s never hunted with another dog. \u00a0She never stops impressing me.\u00a0 So with all of that she won 3rd Place and her first trophy. Not too bad for a young dog and a handler who has never owned a bird dog.\u00a0 I just went on YouTube to learn a few things but Fergie has so much natural ability it all comes easy for her.\u00a0 Everyone there knows about your kennel know. In fact the guy that won came up to me and said that if I ever breed her that he wants a pup. I told him to check your website because I\u2019m not getting into breeding.\u00a0 Thank you for everything!<\/p>\n

Thank You,<\/p>\n
