Smudge sires his first litter, pups available!

Pine Straw Smudge JH sired his first litter with Rouge River Bog Sucker (Nellie). Smudge is CH/RU Chip's Torquato X RUCH Pine Straw Katydid. Nellie is Dun Roven's Gary X Dun Roven's Boofay. This breeding brings in a lot of really good dogs, from back in the day as well as recent dogs of note. Grouse Ridge Storm, Tomoka, Tekoa Mountain Sunrise, Grouse Ridge Reroy, Destinare, Havelock Blacksmith, Body Guard, and Hick's Rising Sun all appear prominently in the pedigree. Recent Grand National Grouse Champion Chip's Uncle Buzzie is Smudge's grandsire.

Smudge is fast and fancy and has multiple field trial placements. He has placed in walking and horseback trials as well as in both planted and wild bird trials. He is showing a lot of potential and will be running cover dog trials this fall. A summary of his wins can be seen on this blog just a couple posts back.

I have hunted over Nellie and she is a very fast and fancy as well as an awesome bird finder. She handles well and knows where to go to find birds. Nellie is a bird dog anyone would be proud to own.

These pups should make some awesome bird dogs and have serious trial potential. They are located in Southern Michigan.

For more information or to reserve a pup, please contact Dale Ash at 616-318-8254. The pups are priced extremely reasonably at $400 each.
