Well, we sure had a weekend to remember at SD&G!
I'm sure I won't remember everything, so thanks to all the Judges who awarded my dogs so highly. Many thanks to Thomas Alexander Sandy Alexander, Denys Janssen & Elaine Lessig. Etta James earns another BISS!! and many BOB along with a Group 4 Bred by Aline Tremblay & Jean-Christophe Boulinguez this girl is the love of my life. I'm beyond grateful that you trusted me to co- own this spectacular Griffon. She also has produced the next generation as talented in the field as they are in the ring! Thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart! CJ Dyment you are not only a friend, but a handler beyond compare. Thank you for bringing out the best in Etta. Renée Fortier & Gilbert Tremblay breeders of my heart dog Kanoe! Another BOSS and a breed win at the Ottawa Valley Pointing Dog Specialty. Kanoe has the BEST temperament of any dogs that I have owned. He turns himself inside out to please. A stellar hunter in field and water, he is also fabulous in the ring, scent work, obedience and anything I ask of him. I'm blessed to call you friends & mentors! Gilbert...I cracked that Prosecco!

BETTY WHITE Friday: Best of Winners, Best Puppy & Best Puppy in Group (BPIG) Saturday: Best Puppy in Specialty! Best of Winners, Best Puppy. Sunday : Best of Winners, Best Puppy, BPIG Thomas Alexander, Sandy Alexander & Denys Janssen Thanks to all of the Judges who recognized her quality this weekend. It's an incredible feeling to have bred this promising young female. I'm humbled by everyone who had nice things to say about her. I cannot thank my friend CJ enough for convincing me to show her. She now has 6 BPIG and a BPISS in only limited showing. Betty is by Hector Des Battures out of our top winning Female Etta James Breeder/Owner/Handler: Hilary Chambers / Pine Grove Sporting Dogs Living With A Wirehaired Pointing Griffon By Susan Edgington Published in Show Scene Magazine May 2013 After a very hectic year of training, hunting, showing & trials, we have decided to take a bit of a breather and allow the dogs to enjoy some freedom and R&R in the great outdoors. We plan on breeding Etta this fall, and will likely have a very busy winter and early spring with puppies if mother nature blesses us!
Once the pups have gone to their new homes we will get everyone back in shape and ready for action once again...though perhaps at a more leisurely schedule for 2023. Kanoe had a blast with some ruffed grouse in the field. He's happy to be home. Etta is enjoying being in the field more too! Kanoe now has 2 legs towards his FD Field Dog Title! Excellent comments from the judges about his stellar pointing, desire to hunt and nice search of the bird field. It was a challenging downwind day, but he did a wonderful job.
Many thanks to Gilbert Tremblay of BourgRoyal for training & handling Kanoe! Home safe from a successful trip to the Sudbury KC Show
Etta James Made the cut twice in power packed sporting groups and won GROUP 4 this afternoon under J. Huntley So Many GOOD Things to report!
So Proud of Kanoe & team BourgRoyal 2nd leg of his FD (CKC Field Dog) title and 10/10 on search!!! Kanoe also earned his NAVHDA UPT Title on September 3rd. This is a dream coming together and I cannot thank Gilbert Tremblay & Renée Fortier enough for all that they do. Photos by Andree Arcand We will present Kanoe for his final FD leg in 2023 and work towards his WD Title and more! Clean sweep of the National Specialty of the Wirehaired Pointing Griffon!!!!!I could not have imagined a better scenario if I tried! Etta WON the National Specialty! & my male Kanoe who has been away for the past 5 months hunt training was Best of Opposite Sex...he literally came out of the hunt field and into the ring. Not many dogs can do that. I am beyond proud of both my dogs...it takes a lot of dedication and hard work to get here! I cannot thank the judge Stewart Dankner enough for noticing the quality of both my dogs. We made the paper too!
Kanoe: SELECT DOG at the AQGAPD (Quebec Griffon Specialty) Thanks again to Renée Fortier Gilbert Tremblay Jacynttee Magnan and our esteemed judge from France Monsieur Christian Jouanchicot. I cannot thank Renée Fortier & Gilbert Tremblay enough for all that they do. They have been So tremendously supportive of me and Kanoe!
Kanoe was SELECT DOG at the AQGAPD (Quebec Griffon Specialty) This is even more special because of the comments of the Judge from France, who also judges FCI and was happy to freely give his perspective. He likes Kanoe, his correct coat and body... I value knowing what is good and areas we can improve. It's amazing to me that Kanoe went from the hunt field/wetlands yesterday and into the show ring this morning. A true Griffon! Thanks to the Quebec Club for a wonderful specialty show, it's a lot of work! And another shout out to Renee, Jean Lisi and Dominic...this must be an emotionally overwhelming day filled with joy!
