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!

Another woman handler with a Joules X Pod baby in the field, 2021 litter.

Owner/trainer/handler: Julianna Dome

 

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

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

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.

Hellfire Springers - 2022

Did you know that I have bred 14 FIELD TRIAL WINNERS?  I too was surprised it was that many!  From hiking buddy and family pet to world class gundog, I take great pride knowing my babies can do it all.  Breeder proud.

 

The Hellfires Sussex had a great year, but it was the Hellfire Springers who really rocked it! Agility, Scentwork, Hunt Tests continue to dominate the 2022 AKC events. If I missed somebody, huge apologies, send me a message to jog my memory! Versatile, talented, smart, sound in body and mind = Hellfire's primary directive.

 

Congratulations to all!

Hellfire Puppies in Sweaters!

Sometimes it gets cold and puppies need sweaters.

 

Puppy Enrichment Matters

Even before Puppy Culture became cool, we did a lot of fun stuff in the ball pit.  Hellfire Springer and Sussex Spaniel puppies do a LOT of physical, mental enrichment activities to stimulate brain development, problem solving, natural hunting and exploration instincts. 

Puzzle time!

Hellfire puppies do a LOT of puzzles!

We use the Puppy Culture Workbook as the standard for age appropriate puppy enrichment and socialization. Getting those brains and super sniffers working early is an important part of our puppy rearing program. 

Note: Our puppies are raised in the house, not a kennel. Our litters are livestreamed 24/7 from birth until they leave.

 

Summer Puppies

It is so nice to finally put puppies in our puppy yard this year! I usually don't like summer litters, because of the heat issues, but my baby Tobsters have been so much fun, and they will get to go swimming in the real pond soon. It's a good thing the lavender gate opens up into a one acre play area, because these kids can already RUN. If you have had a Toby puppy in the past, you know what I mean. 

Thankful for the magic of science that brought my special boy back to life after all these years he has been gone, and gave me another wonderful baby from him.

What else can we get into?
