Remember this awesome guy? A dominant sire that is in just about every pedigree in the east coast.

Gun dogs that can do it all. 
There are a handful of awesome Hellfire Springer puppies doing AKC Agility. Two have earned the MACH and/or PACH, I think two more are getting close, a couple more are getting started. I just realized I don't post enough about them, so I will start adding more of them on the blog site.
Meet Hellfire Can Fly CD BN GN RM RAE AX AXJ XF "Chip" has both agility and obedience rankings.

I had no idea some of my puppy owners were doing this fast growing sport, but I DO know how exhausted I am after raising a litter of these little cheetahs! Good grief, three of the Top 5 FastCat springers in the US are my puppies.
AKC FastCat is a running/lure coursing sport - the dogs chase a plastic lure (rabbit) about a course and their running speeds are clocked over a 100 yard dash. It's super fun. I've seen it at dog shows and have always wanted to try it, but the lines are so long we can never get in.
I tried to get the springer youngsters to sit still while wearing reindeer hats for the new Christmas Card, but this ended up as the 2022 winner.
Have a great holiday season. (Photo credit: © 2022 A Monaghan All Rights Reserved)
I said the final farewell to my beloved Mia on August 10th. It was a surreal experience as her Smudgie great granddaughters were being born via c-section in the adjacent operating room. I hugged her as she closed her eyes, while hearing the newborns push out their first wails. I felt horribly numb and ambivalent as they handed me the box of babies...but, life goes on. My entire second generation of outstanding Hellfire bitches are now gone.
Mia was the last daughter from my foundation bitch Maia, Abitt of Hellfire MH. Her sire was Toby, FC AFC CFC Abitts Highlander Lord MH RE VCD1 OAP OAJ. She was 14. Her daughter Cate, American/Canadian FTW Hellfire's Fling in Decatur SH was her magnum opus.
I already miss her so much.
In addition to all of our professional working super sniffers, the highest ranked competition nosework springers in the United States were bred by me. Heat seeking missiles indeed!
