2X CH. Grouse Feather Mark Mark is a 55# orange and white male. DOB - 3/11/2005. He is a son of CH.High Mark, one of the late Smith Setters. Mark is all bird dog. He caught our eye on his first trip to the prairie's as a young pup where, when turned loose, didn't want to play with the other pups, but instead, wanted to find and point birds. Mark placed in derby stakes as a puppy, and in shooting dog stakes as a derby. He is very precocious and has developed into a true powerhouse. He won the prestigious 2007 National Prairie Chicken Open Shooting Dog Championship over a field of 54 challengers from dogs all across the nation and in 2008 repeated the feat by besting 65 challengers. Mark has also had very strong performances with additional championship consideration in the Ontario and Michigan Open Shooting Dog Championships and the Region 13 Amateur Shooting Dog Championship.Pedigree |

R.U. Ch. Panovski GF Gretzky During the next five months, Gretzky was transformed into a horseback field trial shooting dog, and we returned to Ontario for the beginning of the 2009/2010 field trial season. He placed (actually won 2 out of three) in all the preliminary stakes he was entered in, thus earning the necessary credentials to participate in championship events. He then went on to take the Runner-Up Champion position in the Region 13 Amateur Field Trial Association event the following week-end. Gretzky is a #52 orange and white dogs that just drips style. He is breath taking on point, and runs with an effortless gait with great tail set. |
Trooper is a tricolor 50 pound male English Setter, born on 1/5/2005. Trooper caught our eye on his first trip to South Dakota in the summer of 2005 pointing sharptail grouse at 7 months of age. He points with a high head and a magnificent tail and earned his first open and amateur field trial placements at 9 months of age. In 2008 he bested a field of 54 dogs to win the coveted National Amateur Prairie Chicken Championship. Then, in 2009 he garnered Runner-Up Champion laurels at the National Prairie Chicken Amateur Shooting Dog Championship in a field of 68 dogs. In April 2010, Trooper then took the Runner Up Champion title at the Canadian Open Shooting Dog Championship in Clinton, Ontario, atainst a very strong field of 60 dogs.
Gretzky was purchased from Boris Panovski in April of 2009 after watching him during a brief workout at dusk on a drizzly, nasty Ontario evening. Boris had done a wonderful job with the introductory lessons, however the dog had never been in front of a horse, nor been in field trial competition. I saw immense potential in the dog, and I knew that his style and character would fit perfectly with our mission at GFK.
