Special dogs come through our lives and leave more than memories. They imprint our hearts and remind us why we have English Springer Spaniels. I have been fortunate to have known, shared, and loved several special Springers, including Zoomer and his mother, Ringer. Ringer was my first field-bred springer and Zoomer was from her first litter. As a breeder nothing is as fulfilling as producing Champions/titled dogs out of any breeding. Ringer was an outstanding producer. Zoomer has realized
many dreams for me. The accomplishments are the result of some very dear people
helping Zoomer and me. Gary Wilson of Sunrise Kennels trained and trialed Zoomer
for six years, finished 5 Nationals with him and earned his FC and CFC. I
handled him to his AFC, his CD and his MH. I did his beginning training and
handling in agility, but it is Janet Kolakoski I thank for handling him to his
agility titles. I thank my partners in Pride ‘N’ Joy and Zoomer’s co-owners,
Donna and Bernie Thompson for the love of the breed and for allowing me to
explore the “other side”. And finally, thank you Zoomer, for your fun and
enthusiasm, and for being such a nice dog. |

Alynn’s Time Traveller was destined to be outstanding long
before she was born. "Marty" is the result of the oldest frozen semen of any AKC
breed. A single birth, she possesses the heart and hunting desire of an entire
litter, thanks to the genes of her famous Champion hunting show sire -- Am. &
Ca. Champion Geiger's Chief Geronimo CD, WD. “Marty” has proven her versatility in five arenas: Tracking Dog, Companion Dog Excellent, and three master titles: Master Hunter, Master Agility Standard, Master Agility Jumpers. Although only six, Marty is an ESSFTA multiple titlist four times, number one AKC and ESSFTA Excellent Standard Agility Springer for 2000 and 2001, and one of three show bred bitches to earn Master Hunter. Alynn’s Time Traveller’s enthusiasm and eagerness to work captures the essence of “The Spirit of the Versatile Springer”. Lynn Wincester |

Nobody planned for “Cherokee” to become a Versatile
Springer. Even Cherokee didn’t plan it! Her owner Cathy Reinhart says she enjoys
“playing in all the areas” of Springer activity, and so Cherokee got exposed to
all of Cathy’s interests. Cherokee proved to be so adept and talented in ALL of
her endeavors that the Versatile Springer title just happened! Cherokee was whelped on May 16, 1996 (the day this is written happens to be her 6th birthday!) Cherokee (aka “Wild Woman” to her friends) started out fast. Before her 2nd birthday, Cherokee had achieved her NA title (March ’98), her show Championship (April ’98), and her CGC (also April ’98). Later that same year, Cherokee also earned her NAJ (Sept.), OA (Nov.), and CD obedience title (Nov.) Wow, what a busy year — 6 titles. Cherokee took a rest in 1999 (after all, Cathy has other dogs, and anon-doggy life as well, but she came back strong in 2000. Turning her efforts to field work, Cherokee earned her WDX title in Feb., and by July had her Junior Hunter title. And last year, Cherokee added two more titles: OAJ and AX. If that isn’t enough, Cherokee would like everyone to know that she currently has 3 SH legs, 2 MX legs, and 1 AXJ leg. So keep watching this “Wild Woman” She ain’t through yet! Cathy Reinhart |

“Arthur” has been a once in a lifetime dog. He has been the
first dog I have ever owned that wanted to do it all. I would have never dreamed
of myself in a field working a Springer, but Arthur's natural instincts were
saying “let’s go”. He taught me all about hunting. His personality is so free
and fun loving. His mischievous side sometimes gets the better of him in agility
and obedience, but who else owns a dog that qualified in open obedience with a
roll over on recall. Arthur was owner handled to all of his titles which has
made them all the more special. His temperament is unbeatable and as a result of
this wonderful temperament, Arthur has done therapy work at Senior Citizen homes
and has been part of a therapy program for mentally challenged teenagers and
adults. He has also traveled to schools as part of a program to educate children
on proper pet care. Tammy Osborn |
