Hellfire Springers: New RALLY-OBEDIENCE CHAMPION

Chip is from the 2021 Joules/Pod litter. Hellfires first Rally-Obedience Champion. The requirements for a RACH are grueling:  (sounds like “ROCK”) requires the team to earn 20 triple qualifying scores; qualifying in the Advanced B, Excellent B and Master classes at the same trial, at 20 separate events, plus earn 300 RACH points from the Excellent B and Master classes.

Home Sweet Home

I get asked all the time about our "facility".  As a tiny, HOBBY breeder that only has 1-2 litters a year, I don't have a facility, I have a private residence just like you.  I am not open to the public for tours, the very idea is absurd!

We have 360 acres with plenty of room for dogs to run, explore and hunt...and they do!  We are fortunate  to have a climate controlled indoor kennel of 8 runs. We do not keep intact male springers on the property. Our dogs are not prisoners and the springers are kenneled only at night, when we are having horrible weather (muddy floors - OY!) and during heat cycles. The Sussex are full-time house dogs. Our property is gated with several security cameras strategically placed to keep track of spaniel shenanigans. There are two, one acre puppy and dog yards, and a 40 acre fenced "yard" for the house dogs.

When we have puppies, they are live streamed 24/7 until they leave, or destroy the camera. (Usually around the same time - lol!) 

We are located near Anaconda. Yellowstone National Park is about 90 minutes to the south. A fun factoid: Yellowstone the TV show is filmed in Ravalli County, in western Montana and in Utah...pretty far away from the real Yellowstone. I don't watch the show. Most Montanans don't. We prefer 1923, which is legit and filmed locally!

Here are some pictures of Hellfire doggy life here:

We have 360 acres of rolling hills and forests to run and play on

Our puppies are whelped in the house, on proper bedding...no shavings, paper or straw

 

We have 8 sparkly clean, heated/cooled indoor runs

My grooming room is used a LOT.

The puppy yard is in two parts - this is the one acre "big yard".

This is the "little yard"  - the puppies have access to it at night and learn to use the doggy door around 5 weeks old.  The lavender gate opens to the big puppy yard.

Sussex Spaniel Art Prints

ALL SOLD! British artist, Jo Van Kampen has sent me a few  gorgeous prints of the oil painting she has done of my special boys! They are $100, including shipping. They are more gorgeous in real life than in photos.  She is doing another one of my girls Faith and Marv in 2025. I believe they are 12 x 16 in size, numbered, signed by the artist. Only 20 high quality, giclee prints were made. No more will ever be made.

Zeeza was out of CNFC Rolling Oaks Sumday Bud X Abitt of Hellfire MH.

He was an amazing dog and I miss him every day.  He was the best dog. I wish I had started him in obedience earlier as he would not doubt have finished his OTCH.

Hellfire Sussex Spaniels: New Grand Champion!

Yay! The lovely Smoosh has finished her Grand Championship! Smoosh is a very correct, breed typey Sussex with beautiful movement, perfect bite and of course the best temperament on the planet, thanks to Marv, her mother! Note the proper tail set, below the back...something that is sadly disappearing quickly in this breed.

Then there is the magnificent Riddle -

Owned and trained by Linda Coffel

She's never been super fast, but she has always been super QQ consistent!

 

Also a highly successful Search and Rescue dog with documented finds. Why this amazing dog isn't an @AKC ACE Award winner, makes no sense to me. This dog has it all.

Two decades of purpose bred dogs.
