Endeavor Drents

Well…the Pheasant opener this past weekend didn’t go as planned. The quail thought they were in the clear for the day but Winnie had other ideas, getting down to business and giving each of us a chance to shoot over her. A couple of birds, a couple of miles, and a whole lot of fun!

While the quail continued to elude us, Winnie made a nice point on a covey of Huns. Thankfully, my shooting was satisfactory enough to net her a pair.

Beautiful day for Eastern Washington upland season opener. Winnie made good bird contact, gave us some nice points, and although no quail was found, she helped us get 1 Hun for our freezer!

There’s few moments as a dog owner, let alone as a hunter, as sweet as this.

Today, Winnie pointed her first sharp tail, and as a result, had her first wild bird shot over her. Exhibiting nice dog work in the presence of good friends, she demonstrated the type of intelligent hunter she’s shaping up to be. As a handler and as a dog dad, I could not be prouder of her or more excited about the many more birds to come.

It’s been a long time coming! Pending AKC confirmation, Strider is now:

Body Lieve V. Zoterbek FDC RATO STR ✨CGC✨TKN

So so proud of him! It was a very busy environment with a bunch of dogs walking outside the testing ring, but he handled it like a champ 😊

He did not get a ribbon at the event, so please enjoy his photoshopped floating ribbon near his adorable big head ☺️

What a weekend! ☺️

We had such a wonderful turnout for all the Greeley, CO Open Shows and an even better turnout for the 2 ADPA Supported shows on Saturday and Sunday. Thank you everyone for entering and making the trip to the Rocky Mountains! For several dogs this was their first time in the ring, first points, and first big show experience! Congratulations to all the winners!

This weekend, we got the incredible opportunity to be a part of the largest entry of Drents (7-10) at a show in AKC history! The Drents and their people made their way to the Greeley Kennel Club shows and showed their hearts out for us. Thank you to all of the amazing American Drentsche Patrijshond Association members that worked together to make this happen!

These past 4 days we have been spending time with our good friends, their Drents, and all the people that wanted to know more about them.

Both of our pups did their best, had fun, and Strider gets to go home with 1 more point towards his CM, winning his class, and taking Best of Opposite S*x in the second show on Sunday 🥳

More than anything, it was truly so wonderful to cheer on our friends. Our little community felt HUGE this weekend, and my heart is so full.

Thank you as always to Kennel van Zoterbèk for trusting us with these lovely dogs ☺️ We are excited to continue our journey with them.

Such an awesome accomplishment by ADPA members!! We are so excited to drive to Colorado!

WOW❗️ Breed entry counts are out for the August 14-16 open shows in Greeley, Colorado, and we are thrilled to share it is a historic entry of Drentsche Patrijshonden!

The Saturday & Sunday APPMGC Open Shows, with ADPA-sponsored awards and prizes, have an incredible ✨️TEN✨️ Drents entered! This more than doubles the previous record entry of Drents at a single show.

A huge thank you in advance to all the entrants, organizers, and volunteers! We are looking forward to seeing ALL the Drents and their people who will be gathering in Colorado in just two short weeks, for our first in-person Annual Meeting & Events weekend!
