Whiskey is a dynamic retriever with an exceptional, civil disposition making
him a wonderful companion in the home, field or duck blind. Whiskey has
earned field trial awards under both British and Irish Kennel Clubs. He
qualified for the Irish Retriever Championship one day after his second
birthday, quite young by Irish standards, which allowed his participation in
the 2004 Irish Championship just before his export to the U.S. in January,
2005.
During his first year as a trial dog in the UK, young Whiskey’s career was
very impressive. He received second place in the Open Qualifying Stake,
Clodagh Valley Field Trial Association, Ireland, qualifying him for the Irish
Championship and he was selected to run for the N. Irish International
Gundog Team. He went on to win the Ulstare Select Field Trial in Barnbtps
Park, Scotland, under the British Kennel club.
Whiskey is just as fast and stylish returning from a retrieve as he is powerful
lining out for a bird. He is just as bold in thick cover as he is dynamic in
water. Yet, his passion for the retrieve does not compromise his quiet,
biddable disposition. Simply, he has a fantastic personality. Loyal beyond
compare…friendly to all, especially children, he is always a hit at our
demonstration shows and around the hunting lodges.
Whiskey has appeared in Wildrose workshops for Ducks Unlimited and the
Outdoor Network in Wisconsin, Tennessee, Virginia, and North Carolina.
He was unbeatable in the ’05 high jump obstacle competitions in Oshkosh
and Memphis demonstrating his athletic abilities in the field. He has proven
to be an exceptional retriever on a variety of game including dove, quail and
ducks in Mississippi to pheasants and rabbits in the Dakotas.
Whiskey’s pups are bold and stylish with excellent confirmation. They love
to retrieve, are easy to start, and possess exceptional scent ability. Whiskey
is a versatile dog proven in competitions, demonstrations, hunting and
companionship. He is truly the benchmark of a GENTLEMAN’S
GUNDOG. |
