It’s been a minute! Updates:
I (Elizabeth) have been back to teaching full time and attending graduate school for my principal license (almost done!!), so my bandwidth for managing the dog socials was gone for a while.

Dad has been managing the puppy list and puppy buyers (which he’s great at)!

We didn’t have any puppies in 2025, which was a somewhat welcome break.

We have two litters planned this summer! One, our Z III litter, is born! There are four beautiful puppies (2 boys and 2 girls)!

Onnie is due soon with our second litter of the summer, our A IV litter vom Jagdkönig. This is a repeat of our W III litter, and I can’t wait to meet them!

Wow, what an Armbruster! We’re excited to get out in the field now that it’s over! The 23rd International Armbruster took place in Sparta, IL from October 22nd-25th. Mike ran two dogs: Xenia III and Wynona III. Xenia ended the Armbruster with 8th place (188 pts HZP and 8/7 form and hair), and Wynona III placed 14th (184 pts HZP and 9/8 in form and hair).

We had three other handlers run dogs from our kennel: Andy Burris, Alan Steffen, and Justin May. They all finished with Armbruster scores, ZR numbers, and breed certified dogs. Huge thanks to them for taking the time, effort, and money to enter and complete an Armbruster. It’s always an adventure!

We have so much gratitude for the organizers (Jim Halleran and Jason Abbas and crew) and judges (Mike Fortner, all the breed and performance judges) who take time out of their busy schedules and travel thousands of miles from across the county and the world to give their opinions of the dogs. It’s a privilege to be a member of a club with high standards and so many hard working volunteers. This was an exceptionally well executed Armbruster.

We were able to spend quality time with Tom and Molly and Sam Hinderer. They’re wonderful friends and great people, and we’re grateful for their dedication to the breed and our kennel.

On a side note, as a daughter, I’m proud of my dad. It’s not every 67 year old who is willing and able to engage in physically, mentally, and emotionally difficult activities. Breeding, training, and running dogs is hard, and Dad always meets the challenge while still helping our handlers and managing his responsibilities around home.

Many thanks to Johnathan and Mom (Jeanne Schell) who are always there to help in any way needed to keep all of our plates spinning. From holding down the fort to judging dogs and contributing to the club, they’re our rockstars.

Our whole crew (Me (Elizabeth), Dad, Mom, Johnathan, Elsie, and Lane) was able to make it down, and it was great to spend time with our awesome handlers.

Now on to the hunting season 🐾🦆🪶🦌

Y III litter! They’re going home or have gone home recently. What a litter. They are super consistent in size and temperament, especially for a large litter (12 puppies). There aren’t any very wooly or very short coated pups, and we’ve been so pleased at how they interact in a pleasant and communal fashion. Overall, top notch candidates.

One of the beauties of a spring litter is early, positive water exposure. We value the time we can spend with them in many different environments including those where they’ll eventually hunt and test: field, forest, and water. Because they are immersed in surroundings that regularly provide obstacles (brush piles, hills, various logs and objects to negotiate), they are uniquely able to tackle the challenges life will throw them. This early exposure will help them physically and mentally.

Y III litter at four weeks old— the beautiful weather has facilitated their outside time so that they’re doing a great job of getting housebroken!

We will likely have two males available from this litter. For our Jagdkönig family: if you have a friend or family member who is interested in a hunting companion, we’d appreciate you sending them our way!

Give us a call! Mike: 217-357-4186 or Elizabeth: 804-389-5079

Out and about with the X III litter today! They are loving the big puppy yard— trails and foliage and sticks galore.

All of the X III litter is placed, but we do have male and female spots in the Y III litter that is 2.5 weeks old. Call for more information :)
