CH Pine Straw Black Hawk offered at Stud

We humbly invite owners of quality females to consider CH Pine Straw Black Hawk as a sire for their next breeding. Hawk was sired by CH/RU Chip's Torquato, a hard running champion grouse dog whose grandsire was Grouse Ridge Been. Hawk's dam is our RUCH Pine Straw Katydid. Katie, in addition to taking runner-up at the 2010 National Amateur Grouse Championship, is an AKC Field Champion and has several horseback placements. Katie came from the breeding of two very accomplished grouse dogs: GNGCH/CH Chip's Uncle Buzzie and Mult. CH Sky's Blue Belle (Foster Award winner). For pedigree studiers, Hawk has a significant amount of Tomoka, along with other greats like Brannigan, Grouse Ridge Reroy, Grouse Ridge Storm, Still Meadows Jim, and has several strings leading back to the old Commander blood.

Hawk is a bird finder, runs well in the heat (as evidenced by his 2nd place run at the 2015 Inez Smith Classic in temps well over 80 degrees), loves to please, and is a very personable dog. He is fancy running and stylish on his game. We invite anyone interested to go to a trial and watch him, so you can see for yourself. Hawk is currently campaigned on the Shooting Dog Circuit by Jeanette Tracy of Ladywood Kennels. Prior to joining Jeanette's string, Hawk earned his AKC Field Champion title under the whistle of Jamie Fountain of Oconee Kennels.

Hawk has puppies on the ground that are looking very fancy, and very birdy. We are very interested in getting pups from Hawk out of quality females, and are asking $750 stud fee. Other arrangements are possible based on the qualifications of the female. A negative brucellosis test will be required.
