GRANT - I had the honour and privilege of breeding to an absolutely stunning representation of the breed bred by Linda Pitts and Laurie Ferland and owned by Linda Pitts, Stephanie Kaul, Ellen Charles, Regina Beinhauer and Motoei Furukaw. Meeting Mike and Linda Pitts and Grant was definitely one of my highlights in dogs over the past 24 years, and ofcourse being able to breed my Stella to him. The Pitts are wonderful, professional, knowledgeable people and Grant was even more beautiful in real life with an amazing temperament. Grant was the #2 ALL BREED dog in the USA in 2018, won multiple Spaniel Club Nationals, Specialty Shows and all breed BISs and exclusively handled by Linda Pitts. Type, movement, substance and beauty. What a blessing to bring his quality to my kennel and to have 3 of his kids in my kennel.
From Norths age of 6 weeks with his first time on the lead it was like he was born hitting the ground running. He has amazing substance, bone, muscle,front, smooth shoulders and incredible correct movement . North obtained his Canadian Championship in a flash and then went onto obtain his Grand Championship and then his Bronze Grand Championship. In the USA, he obtained his American Championship in 6 days and on his second day as a special he got a Group 2 in a huge 24 breed sporting group as an unknown under the exclusive expert handing of Kendall DeSanto. North has one multiple sporting groups and multiple group placements. He also won a Best In Specialty Show under a long time breeder judge Ms Marilyn O'Neill. Unfortunately we sadly lost his Canadian Handler Jennifer Watson in March 2022 so have decided to take a bit of a breather and reset, After his rest, North went on to win multi sporting groups, a Best in Show, three Reserve Best in Shows as well as his Rally Novice Title. He acheived the status of #1 American Cocker Spaniel in Canada in 2023 and was #2 American Cocker Spaniel in 2024 (missing #1 spot by a measly 31 points) and he was shown on a very limited basis. North and I learned rally obedience on our own, I learned the signs and taught him very quickly. First weekend competing in rallyobedience and the first time he had even done a course he achieved his Rally Novice title. This gave him his Gr Champion Excellence, the highest achievable conformation title. Not only does he have bone, muscle, front, smoothed shoulders, effortless movement and a gorgeous head, he also has an amazing fun, happy temperament. North (as ALL my solids) goes back to my original foundation bitch Madison born in 1996. He is testament to my careful, healthy breeding program.
