Prickley Ash Patch had a very successful and exciting 09'-10' field trial season.  Competing in various venues as a true puppy, she garnered several placements in puppy & derby stakes, including a very close second at the prestigious Sixty-Third Grand National Grouse Futurity Puppy Classic.  25 Grouse Futurity nominated pups from numerous states competed, and Patch's placement came a month before her first birthday!  Bred by Richard & Jennifer Wyatt of Heartland English Setters, Patch is sired by RU CH TerHaar's Elvis, out of Blue Sapphire (CH First Rate X CH Blue Streak).  Congratulations to her owners Kaylee and father Sam Purvis (pictured), and to grandpa Kenny Purvis for their hard work and great success

Dun Roven's Explorer, aka "Dora" was named RU Champion at the National Amateur Grouse Championship held in Meredith, MI this week. She competed against several Champions and top quality grouse dogs from MI, OH, KY, PA, NY, NH & WI, including last year's Champion and RU.  A total of 49 dogs competed.
 
Dora was bred by Richard & Jennifer Wyatt, and was sired by Dun Roven's Sidney, out of B's Midnight Heartbreak.  Bred to be a grouse dog, Dora's Dam (also bred by the Wyatt's), was sired by their cover dog competitor After Midnight, and out of a daughter of CH Stillmeadow's Jim X CH Skyline Patty. 
 

 Pictured with us are co-owners Sean McKellip (who ran Dora), and owner of Dun Roven Kennels, Rich Hollister.

02-08-2009 - Welcome Home D J's Black Pearl!
 
Pearl is from a litter we bred 2 years ago.  She was sold at weaning to a friend in MI who's life has recently taken a turn, and we had the opportunity to buy her back!  Couldn't pass that up!  She is an outstanding prospect.  Her dam, Blue Sapphire (aka Ruby), may be the best wild bird dog we've ever owned. Her sire, Long Gone Nixon, brings a little more refinement and his Championship breeding to the mix.
