GCH CH Fireside's Coconimo Puppies

 
 

RoughRider's Prairie Storm Budweiser, MH Bred To GCH CH Fireside's Coconimo

We bred Buddy to GCH CH Fireside's Coconimo in August 2013. This female Griffon is beautiful and knows how to hunt. On October 15, 2013 Coco gave birth to eight nice puppies ( 5 females & 3 males).

Buddy won another point at the AKC Richmond Kennel Club Show at Dixon, CA. Buddy is more comfortable each time he is in the show ring.

Today, I took the dogs down to Corning to do some bird work. A large male English Setter viciously attacked Cooper without provocation. The setter rolled Cooper three times, grabbing Cooper's neck & head in his mouth. Cooper was completely defenseless. I was able to grab the setter's neck and muzzle to forcefully pull him off Cooper. The setter tried to twist his head and bite me. I lifted the setter off the ground, at which time Pierre took control of him. Cooper was badly shaken up but had no puncture wounds.

The female owner of the setter said her dog had never exhibited that behavior before. Really??? She was apologetic.

We got Cooper back into the field hunting birds quickly to try an minimize the long range effects of the attack. Cooper did excellent in the field. Time will tell if Cooper can ever forget the attack.

Buddy & I attended our first AKC Dog Show for four days in Stockton, CA. On the first day, Buddy was nervous & unfamiliar with the controlled chaos of the show. When the judge approached Buddy, he pulled away & promptly sat down. This was not what the judge wanted to see. Buddy finished second & received no points. Day two through Day four Buddy was more comfortable and did awesome. Buddy took Winners Dog/Best of Opposite & Best of Winners to get a point each day towards his AKC Championship. Buddy needs fifteen points for his CH. We learned a lot but are way more comfortable in the field hunting birds.

My son, Chris & me finished the new pigeon coop for the homing pigeons. It is a "Pigeon Palace". Check it out, It is 4' wide x 4' deep x 7' tall made out of T111, 2'x4' boards & wire. The birds are digging all the room.

Baby pigeons are growing like weeds. Chubby & healthy!!
