Kobi x Nibs
2021 AKC SPORTING GROUP BREEDER OF THE YEAR !
Breeding in August 2024/Due Oct 13-16 2024/ Ready mid-Dec 2024
Mainly brown puppies are anticipated but perhaps a deadgrass. I expect truly superior conformation and wonderful aptitude to do ANYTHING you want-shows, agility, hunting or superb companion. Looking for trainability and well natured hunting or home companion ? This litter will easily fit the bill ! Coats should be thick & well waved, heads classic for the breed; pups should be medium in size (60 to 85 lbs at maturity depending on sex) but well boned.

KOBI is 23 1/2 " 75 lbs. dark brown boy who is well constructed in front and rear angles that are complimented by a deep chest; short loin and practical coat. He enjoys a friendly and happy personality. In the field Kobi is in his element. Completely amateur trained by his owner Rick Sprake, he titled to his MH shortly at age 2 ½ . He runs with style-quick out and back. Easily works multiple marks and handles well. His high drive is his occasional downfall at times-breaking in exciting marking set ups. When he lived in PA during hunting season, he worked Lake Erie for waterfowl and upland game.
Kobi was shown briefly in 2022 ( has 5 single pts.) by co-owner Patty Martin. He has a BOB from the classes; Hunting class First at 2022 NSS and made 2 cuts in BOB at that NSS. Hopefully he will resume his show career this winter (2025) on the Florida circuit.
He is one of 4 littermates titled in hunt tests- siblings Ch Pond Hollow Prairie Dawn MH & RWB 2022 NSS; Ch Pond Hollow Sentimental Lady At Camptown SH & Pond Hollow Ten A C Szarac JH. His pedigree shows 10 MH titled ancestors-several with FT Awards; group winning/placing; MACH title and advanced obedience titles. Pups from his first litter are well boned, good thick coats, shoulders and rear angulations correct and short loins. Outgoing and inquisitive personalities-pick-up and carry everything they see !!!

NIBS is 21 1/2” 68lbs. Thick heavy waved coat of proper texture, she greets every new venue with enthusiasm ! Sound moving with a short loin and muscular body, her hallmark is her head. Ears are small and set high as required-a feature fast becoming too rare in the breed. She has gorgeous expression with kind intelligent eyes. This girl can look into your soul.
Currently in training for her JH retrieving work, she shows superior marking ability, is birdy and very tractable in training. She earned her first conformation points-4 pt. major-at 7 mos.! She has won multiple BOB and has earned Owner Handler Group placements. She “flew” to her Fast Cat title including under 24 seconds runs. Dock diving was a cinch. She also has her beginning therapy dog certification and Canine Good Citizen award.
Her sire is one of the legends of the breed-#2 Stud dog all-time. His offspring are noted for their high quality conformation, outstanding temperament and trainability. Nibs fits all of those attributes. Her pedigree is filled with dogs that were outstanding show winners, competed and titled in hunt tests including Master level and were National Specialty winning dogs.
