Cove Mountain Kennels

In case you are a subscriber…or in case you are interested in reading a pretty cool article on a hunt for a nice Idaho mountain lion with my hounds, pick up a Nov/Dec 2018 Sports Afield copy. It is one of my favorite magazines and have been really excited when they publish me. I appreciate that the magazine views hound hunting as a challenging and traditional means of pursuit.

We had 6 ties between Oct. 11-20. Pups due 63 days from then.

SIRE: HIDEAWAY’S WHITE SMOKE- Smoke is an accomplished bird hunter and field trial dog. This is a special stud dog who had proved himself time and again in front of AKC field trial judges. He has 9 official AKC placements to his name and multiple points in both Open and Amateur divisions. Cove Mountain Kennels recently acquired this dog to add to our breeding and hunting program. Smoke started doing well even when he was young. He was the 2013 Western All-Age Futurity 4th place and continued to impress judges throughout his career as a competitor. His was sired directly by NGDC FC/AFC San Dee Blazing Shane. His mother was FC/AFC Hideaway Red’s Bess Bet. However, most importantly, this dog not only has the genetics, but he has proven himself as a stellar competitor and hunter. The more recently in the line that the dogs have been proven through AKC field trial competition or hunt tests the better the chances of producing quality hunting or competition puppies. Anyone can say, “this dog is a great hunter and has good lines.” Few can back it up with actual competition placements.

DAM: KARAMOJO’S DRAGON TATTOO JH “STELLA”- Stella is a very proven hunter and mother. We have trained many of her puppies from clients and really liked them. Stella’s exceptional trainability passes to her pups very nicely. She has a hard point, a nice medium range pattern and flat out finds birds. She is a sweetheart off the field and an all-business workaholic in the field. She is calm at home and in the kennel. Just like Cooper, she is a pleasure to have at home. She has proven herself hunting wild birds with four species of native grouse, Hungarian partridge, chukar, pheasant and quail all under her belt. She has also proven herself in front of AKC judges by going four out of four for her hunt title with high scores and a total of eight finds all of which she held through the shot.

One of our clients from Montana who has been in the lab field trial world with a Rouge/August Rush puppy he plans to break into the pointer field trial world with. He and his wife just picked him up and are headed back to Montana.

The pups name is Cowboy.

Smoke is an AKC Brittany currently standing at stud near Pocatello, Idaho. We are about 2 hours north of Salt Lake City, Utah. Please see a previous post regarding this dog’s accomplishments. He has 9 AKC field trial placements and is well proven. Call or text Nick at 314-954-5424 for details or to discuss a possible breeding.

1. 9We recently had some breedings between two excellent dogs and excellent producers.

SIRE: American Field Champion August Rush (2011 Victoria Nationale Derby Winner) – This dog is one of the owners favorite stud dogs. He has an efficient loping gait and flat out covers ground. He is great at the longer stakes in competition because of his economy of motion and bottomless tank. This converts to a hunting dog that can run and run and find birds. This spring our kennel trained a son of August Rush and he was a very nice dog. He had a hard point, was trainable and extreme bird drive.

 

 

 

 

 

 

DAM: Jeb N Ducks Orange Roughy Rouge – “Rouge”
OFA GOOD

Rouge is a stellar female with a build that we really like out here in the west. She is leggy and fast and has an incredibly hard point. She was campaigned on the AKC field trial western circuit for a short period of time and was able to take three placements. She runs a very thorough pattern that is perfect for the foot hunter. She is a sweetheart, loves kids, adults and other dogs….but most of all she loves birds!

Both parents are proven on the field and in front of AKC judges.  Our kennel owns a Rouge pup from a former litter and she has been great.

Litter is due about July 29, 2018. Litter ready for homes mid-September. Let us know if you would like to talk more about this litter or place a deposit. Call or text Nick at 314-954-5424. A $200 deposit holds a pick.

We had them all spoken for before they were born on this litter.  Call or text Nick at 314-954-5424 if interested in future litters. Almost 3 weeks old now. Very healthy!

This August Rush son we have had at the kennel for a client turned out awesome! Generally we can get a dog steady-to-wing in a two month training session. That is what Chris and I tell people to expect. However, we were able to get Gus to the next step: steady-to-shot in only two months. The dog has a lot of style. We have some half-siblings of this dog for sale now.

American Field Champion August Rush (2011 Victoria Nationale Derby Winner) – This dog is one of the owners favorite stud dogs. He has an efficient loping gait and flat out covers ground. He is great at the longer stakes in competition because of his economy of motion and bottomless tank. This converts to a hunting dog that can run and run and find birds. I am currently training an August Rush son, Gus, for a client. I love the dog. He has a hard natural point, a solid retrieve and is a joy to have around the house.

Kenya Karamojo Bell JH – Kenya is a very proven hunter, AKC hunt test competitor and mother. She was very trainable and had a lot of point at a very young age. Kenya is the reason we purchased Stella and Rouge (full sisters of hers from different litters). Not only is Kenya a phenomenal hunting dog, but she has thrown excellent puppies, 8 or 9 of which we have trained at Cove Mountain Kennels. One of her pups, Boomer of Kenya, was trained and subsequently handled at an AKC field trial in and placed in an open division. It was not only amazing that it was his first trial, but he had a vet diagnosed upper respiratory infection at the time which certainly slowed him down. Kenya is a pistol in the field and a sweetheart at home.

This cross is bred for competition or hunting. These will be some nice pups from very proven parents. If you would like to know more or put down a deposit, give me a call or text at 314-954-5424.

Pups are due to be born around April 20, 2018 and should  be ready for homes around the first week of June, 2018.
