The terrain is unusual to our dogs as the cover is knee high and green.  It makes it an extra tall challenge for&nbsp;the Southern dogs.&nbsp;<br /><br />Morning temps were a wonderful with cool mid 50's with highs reaching 78-80 degrees. All tests were challenging and fair with good judging. As always, its great to see our long time, fun, northern friends. So the results are shown below.

Our long time friend and Stellar Staff member, Darren, was out working with Josh and I to run Ye Ol'Steadying Drill with Lee and Debbie Telling, my honey Wendy, Tim Buck, and Mike Meek.  We had blue bird skies and mild weather to head out near the barn and setup the signature test warm up drill for all the dogs.  Short mark thrown behind a tree and log with the flyer dropped right in the dog's grill to test the dog's steady, blind under the arc of the short bird, diversion thrown on the way back from the blind, and a long single to finish things up.  A lot going on for sure and most everybody did well.  Forrest, handled by Lee, bit hook line and sinker for the flyer dropped in his grill so we had to give Lee the usual hard time for Forrest's performance.  Now that Lee has shook that off, we wish him luck tomorrow at the Waterloo Hunt Test which promises to be a little dicey with some really bad weather blowing in over night.  <br /><br />Mike put together a slide show with mug shots of Cody the Chocolate, Maggie, Mary Tatum's Party, Doug Bishop's Sway, and Fernando Somoza's Emmy along with some various shots of the farm which can be viewed here:  <br /><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.mightydogphoto.com/#/gallery/march-19-stellars-flyer-friday/" rel="external">Flyer Friday Slide Show</a><br /><br />Here is a taste of a few of the mugshots:<br /><img class="imageStyle" alt="CDC_0013 (1)" src="http://www.stellar-retrievers.com/files/cdc_0013-002810029.jpg" width="300" height="199"/><img class="imageStyle" alt="CDC_0004" src="http://www.stellar-retrievers.com/files/cdc_0004.jpg" width="300" height="199"/><br /><img class="imageStyle" alt="CDC_0015" src="http://www.stellar-retrievers.com/files/cdc_0015.jpg" width="300" height="199"/><img class="imageStyle" alt="MAG_0044" src="http://www.stellar-retrievers.com/files/mag_0044.jpg" width="300" height="199"/><br /><img class="imageStyle" alt="PAR_0029" src="http://www.stellar-retrievers.com/files/par_0029.jpg" width="300" height="199"/><img class="imageStyle" alt="PAR_0036" src="http://www.stellar-retrievers.com/files/par_0036.jpg" width="300" height="199"/><br /><img class="imageStyle" alt="SW9_0121" src="http://www.stellar-retrievers.com/files/sw9_0121.jpg" width="300" height="199"/><img class="imageStyle" alt="SW9_0112" src="http://www.stellar-retrievers.com/files/sw9_0112.jpg" width="300" height="199"/><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Brazosport Hunt Test&#x2c; Montgomery Texas...Results In&#x21;</title><dc:creator>www.mightydogphoto.com</dc:creator><category>None</category><dc:date>2010-03-15T21:10:44-05:00</dc:date><link>http://www.stellar-retrievers.com/files/4dfb9db3db36356976de71cc9a747860-40.html#unique-entry-id-40</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.stellar-retrievers.com/files/4dfb9db3db36356976de71cc9a747860-40.html#unique-entry-id-40</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[<span style="font-size:15px; ">Headed over to Montgomery, Texas this weekend for the Brazosport Hunt Test.

He was my right hand man. Chris always came to work early and took pride in taking care of the dogs.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><br />Chris had the best memory&nbsp;of anyone I've&nbsp;ever seen and known. He always remembered what every dog needed. Not only&nbsp;did he take care of them, he also noticed if&nbsp;any of them&nbsp;needed&nbsp;something&nbsp;else.  He was a true friend of both man and animal alike. <br /><br />In thinking about my time with him, I also thought about his service to the sport.  Chris was so proud about being&nbsp;one of the flyer shooters for the&nbsp;open stake at Dave Rorem's.  He shot for 90 dogs and allowed zero "no birds".  Two weekends prior, he also shot for the derby and the amateur&nbsp;stakes at the Coastal Bend Retriever Club Field Trial with similar skill. This from a kid that 4 months ago didn't know how to load a starter pistol. He was a&nbsp; good student of the game and learning in leaps and bounds.  His enthusiasm for discovery was infectious.<br /><br />Everyone who met him&nbsp;loved/&nbsp;liked him as I did.&nbsp;This was a great person who seemed happy in life. I will miss him. I don't understand the term, God works in mysterious ways. <br /><br />Remorsefully,<br />Jack</span><span style="font:12px Trebuchet, Verdana, serif; color:#010101;"><br /></span><span style="font:12px Trebuchet, Verdana, serif; color:#010101;"><br />For those interested in joining the family for the funeral services, here is information that will be useful:<br /></span><span style="font:12px Trebuchet, Verdana, serif; color:#010101;">The viewing and&nbsp;service will be on Saturday the 27th.

Since it has been mild over the past two weeks, this found the group a little ill prepared for such a tough day for training.  That being said, we loaded up and headed out to run a setup that reminded us of the River Runs Through It series of the 2009 Master National.  <br /><br />Our long bird was out about 200 yards through a rushing spillway from a large tank.  All running water with lots of ups and downs along the way to throw the dog off the area.  Two other control birds were placed tight up a hillside and we threw in a double blind to make sure we covered all training bases.  Call it a  "kitchen sink" setup!<br /><br />The big dogs ran a double up the hill, long single, and then the blinds that made them handle either near an old fall or passing under the arc of one of the marks.  Plenty of meat in this one!<br /><br />Tim Buck ran his dog, Lori, and she smoked all of the test.  The Stellar dogs all ran a strong set, and Mike Meek and Zoe even made it out to run with the big dogs.  We had a great time, just wish we had all remembered gloves!  <br />Winter/Spring training is underway and remember, amateurs are welcome on Fridays.  Just give me a call and let me know you want to come out!

Lee Telling joined me for the trip and we left with snow flurries falling on Friday afternoon.  Saturday morning found us shuffling retrievers at the Master test and the cold would show no mercy.  Anyway, on Sunday, we had three Stellar Senior dogs score qualifying tests.  Here they are:<br /><br />Sway, owned by Doug Bishop of LaGrange, secured her 3rd Senior Pass! <br /> One to go for a Senior title.<br /><br />Cody, a chocolate lab owned by Steve Hoppas, smoked out his 3rd Senior pass.  <br />He too, just needs to pass one more test for his Senior title.  <br /><br />Cody, a Chesapeake Bay Retriever owned by Penny Watkins, passed for his Senior Hunter Title! Congratulations to both Penny and Cody!  This Chessie has already scored his two majors in the show ring and is just a few points away from a big show title.  As promised, here is his Stellar Retrievers mug shot:<br /><br /></span><a href="http://www.mightydogphoto.com/#/gallery/cody/" rel="external"><img class="imageStyle" alt="Cody_Senior_Hunter_AKC" src="http://www.stellar-retrievers.com/files/cody_senior_hunter_akc.jpg" width="266" height="400"/></a><span style="color:#FBF3FF;"><br /></span><span style="color:#FBF3FF;"><a href="http://www.mightydogphoto.com/#/gallery/cody/" rel="self">Click Here or on the Photo to See More of Cody!</a></span><span style="color:#FBF3FF;"><br /><br />Saturday and Sunday had Lee and I slogging away in a difficult master test .  The field of thirty was cut to seventeen in the first series.  The test was run on stalwart technical water with cold, miserable weather.  That being said,  three master dogs managed to make the grade.  Congratulations to:<br /><br />Blackie<br />Idgie<br />Ray, owned by Bill and Lee Hanes of North Carolina.  Ray is still on her game after the National!<br /><br />That gets us wrapped up for the holidays so everyone stay tuned for more news and have a happy and safe holiday.<br />-Jack-<br /><br /><br /></span></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Happy Holidays&#x21;</title><dc:creator>www.mightydogphoto.com</dc:creator><dc:subject>Home</dc:subject><dc:date>2009-12-07T19:28:00-06:00</dc:date><link>http://www.stellar-retrievers.com/files/a0f8c2ef8be21d644c442d0517546053-29.html#unique-entry-id-29</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.stellar-retrievers.com/files/a0f8c2ef8be21d644c442d0517546053-29.html#unique-entry-id-29</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.mightydogphoto.com/#/gallery/stellars-high-octane/" rel="external"><img class="imageStyle" alt="2_Ethyl_Retriever_Christmas" src="http://www.stellar-retrievers.com/files/2_ethyl_retriever_christmas.jpg" width="480" height="318"/></a><br /><a href="http://www.mightydogphoto.com/#/gallery/stellars-high-octane/" rel="self">Click here to see a few more of Ethyl!</a></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>2009 Master National Results</title><dc:creator>www.mightydogphoto.com</dc:creator><dc:subject>Home</dc:subject><dc:date>2009-11-03T19:27:44-06:00</dc:date><link>http://www.stellar-retrievers.com/files/81a52fd9fb2dd27ce49f8b34e39cd31e-28.html#unique-entry-id-28</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.stellar-retrievers.com/files/81a52fd9fb2dd27ce49f8b34e39cd31e-28.html#unique-entry-id-28</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#FEFF61;">It was a wild week weather wise and the Master National came with a twist or two this year.

Our group of handlers were assigned to Wizz's Pond on the Eckett property so off we went.  Robert Rascoe, Marty Thompson, Linda Baily, John Blackbird and a sweet gal named Marty from Tennessee gathered to run their dogs on a deluxe version of Jack's Ye Ol' Steadying Drill. <br /><img class="imageStyle" alt="Lindas_Retriever" src="http://www.stellar-retrievers.com/files/lindas_retriever-3.jpg" width="600" height="275"/><br /> That's right, the one where the wipeout flyer lands at the dog's feet after a long bird across technical water goes off!  We all had a great time running a walkup single, the wipeout double run after a blind, and finally a great water blind across one point.  Here are some pictures from this great day of training!<br /><img class="imageStyle" alt="Labrador_Jack_Retriever_Training_Master_National" src="http://www.stellar-retrievers.com/files/labrador_jack_retriever_training_master_national.jpg" width="600" height="400"/><img class="imageStyle" alt="Echo" src="http://www.stellar-retrievers.com/files/echo.jpg" width="600" height="400"/><br />Leslie Vieau's "Echo" staked out after running the land water setup.<br /><br />We are all very excited about the start of the event Sunday and some of the group may even run late Sunday afternoon.

We had tweleve stakes entered and the boys and girls cleaned up at the Rose Country Retriever Club Hunt Test.  Of the tweleve entries, Stellar Retrievers brought home eleven passes with the only disappointing result coming from Blackie in a Master test due to a double handle in the first series.  The judges threw a well placed quad that proved to be a tough test for everyone!  <br /><br />First off,  Congratulation's to Fernando Somoza and his yellow lab Emmy!  On Saturday, she secured her fourth Junior pass to title as a AKC Junior Hunter. <br /><br />Other great news and congratulations go out to:<br /><br />Stellar's Southern Exposer (Louise) completed her Junior Hunter title on Saturday and then ran and passed her first Senior test on Sunday.<br /><br />Doug Bishop's- Sway JH, for running and passing her 1st Senior Hunt test.<br /><br />Nancy Meyer's Stella passed her 2nd Senior test after being back with me for just a month after a 1year break!<br /><br />Steve Hoppas's chocolate speed demon Cody, for his 1st Senior pass.<br /><br /> Bob Owen's Casey SH, 2nd pass in Master, as both of the master tests he has run, have been difficult.<br /><br />Forest passed his 1st Senior as well with his owner, Lee Telling as the handler. Rumor has it that Lee was so nervous that he had to change hsi shorts after the first series!<br /><br />Congrat's to the  Master dogs that passed their tests:<br />Ray -Lee and Bill Hanes<br />Sky- Robert (Bob)/Molly Rascoe<br />Idgie -Tim Mahady.<br /><br />Heading to Montgomery, Texas this weekend to run Junior and Senior stakes.
