Gracie is a sweat little dog. She weighs in around 70 pounds but has tons of go and crazy about birds. She has her Senior hunt title and 2 master passes. Gracie has also ran in derbies and Qualifing stakes. This would be her second litter and offspring from the first litter turned out great and 1 earned his JH before he turned 1. Durring the hunting season Gracie is commercially hunting with me and her sire on the Chesapeake bay. I plan to finish Gracies Master titled in the spring and then run Q's with her and her sire in Q's.

Gracie X Larry

We just bred Larry to Gracie.
CAPTAIN THOR'S GRACIE GIRL SH, WDX, CGC
(Captain Thor of the Chesapeake MH, WDQ, CGC X Worthington's Princess Haley Gal)
Gracie is Thor's daughter from his first sired litter he sired. She will not be seeing any blind action for a couple years. She is going to concentrate on some hunt tests and trials first. This little girl has tons of go and many natural birding abilities so we have high expectations for her future as a gunning dog. Gracie finished out her Senior Hunter title at 25 months old. She also earened her first 2 Senior passes and her WDX title before she was 2 years old. Since Gracie skipped Junior she needed 5 senior passes and she handled it in style. Gracie was a very busy little girl in the Spring of 2010. She ran 6 Senior hunt test, a Derby and a Canine Good Citizen test in 10 weeks. Right now Gracie is training to run Masters and hopefully Qualify for the 2011 Master National.
