Hellfire Springers - PACH MACH Grimms Hellfire Hexenbiest BN RA TD MXS MJB MXP2 MJP2 MJPB OF T2B CAA BCAT TKN

Update 7/14/24: New PACH title for Riddle!

 

Then there is the magnificent Riddle -

MACH Grimms Hellfire Hexenbiest BN RA TD MXS MJB MXP2 MJP2 MJPB OF T2B CAA BCAT TKN

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.

Baby Olive then and a year later. Oh, and have a fantastic holiday season!

 

Merry Christmas!

Happy first Birthday, Olive!

 

Hellfire Gun Dogs

NO White Christmas this year in Montana. Not a snowflake to be found. First time in the 40 years I've lived here!

 

Just wanted to add that no matter what my springers do with their lives, they are always bred as gun dogs first and foremost. I have been shooting over FIELD springers since I was 10 years old, I'm a gun dog person. I am NOT a field trialer. I always get a kick out the guys who ask me if my dogs can hunt. I'm like dude, can you read? I guess the 30+ Master Hunters and 14 Field Trial Winners and countless people who have actually shot over my dogs just aren't proof enough! Whatever. I do not keep dogs that are subpar. Period.

Hellfire Sussex - GCH CH Hellfires Rogue One

It's official. My dad's house pet is a Grand Champion.

 

In May she was a 100% couch potato and had never been on a show lead a day in her life. By June an AKC Champion. By October a GRAND.

 

I have rarely done a CH/GCH in the same year! Come to think about it, she might be my first one! Thank you Australian judges Sue Bownds and Nellie Abela for the first major wins. Then Tippy just kept racking up more majors...all majors. And then there were the Best of Breeds over Specials!

Hellfire Springers Can Fast CAT

The newest rankings are out and THREE Hellfires are in the Top 5! The Top 5 get invites to the National event. A year ago I didn't even know what this sport was, but it's become crazy popular. FastCat is an AKC Sport - basically a 100 yard dash chasing a rabbit (plastic bag) lure. 

Congratulations to Ska, Arnie and Dream!

#2 Arnie - Hellfires Pump You Up

THREE in the Top 5!

Hellfire Springers - Hellfires Hidden Treasure MH "Stash"

Always get a laugh when I hear people say I am not doing springers anymore. NOT TRUE. It is true they have been waiting patiently in the background whilst I play with the brown dawgs, but they will always be my #1 breed. Always.

 

Meet "Stash" Hellfires Hidden Treasure MH - (2020 Pod x Joules breeding) scored an Open 4th with first time springer owner Kathy Farrill at the NW Field Trials in Oregon over the weekend. What a great picture with two most excellent spaniel judges Bob Child and Paul McGagh

Hellfire Springers - Hellfires Ruse of Victory JH SH SWA "Ruse"

Proud breeder moment: Team Ruse is on and went 4/4 Senior Hunter passes to his new SH title! Not bad for a field noob, with a dog who had not seen the hunting world until 2 years old. Ruse earned his JH SH in the same year!

Thank you Southern California Sporting Spaniel Club for steering these youngsters in the right direction.
