APLA Test:
Under the direction of Andy Schoeberl of High Caliber Labradors Kiera
has obtained her APR title. This title compliments her CPR and JH
titles, and per Andy “we are on to bigger and better things with this
dog”. Kiera will now be scheduled to compete for her Master
Pointing Retriever title at the South Dakota APLA test. TGK would
also like to take a moment and congratulate a few other special dogs
for their Master level passes at the Higginsville test. Ridley
received his 3x GMPR title (Ridley is being bred to our female Nala,
and is owned by Ed McNally, see our litters page). Aaron received
his GMPR title (Aaron is being bred to our female Candi, and is owned
by Sam’s Creek Kennels, see our litters page). Rachael received
her GMPR title (Rachael is out of our Hershey x Tess breeding, and is
owned by Dan Koolstra). Rooster received his 3xGMPR title
(Rooster is out of our Hershey x Tess breeding and is located with
Hunters Rose Kennels).

were born (5 black males, 4 black females, 2 yellow males, and 1 yellow
female). The pups will be ready to go home the weekend of

May 23-24, 2009—Under
the direction of Professional dog trainer Andy Schoeberl of High
Caliber Labradors, Kiera obtained her third and fourth passes in the
AKC Jr. Hunter tests, at the South Dakota Hunting Dog Club. These
passes giver Kiera her Jr. Hunter title through the AKC. This
most likely wraps up Kiera’s Spring trial schedule. Andy is very
excited and confident that he can run Kiera in the more advanced level
tests in both the APLA and AKC come this fall. Congratulations
team TGK!!!
May 09, 2009—Under
the direction of Professional dog trainer Andy Schoeberl of High
Caliber Labradors, Kiera obtainer her Certified Pointing Retriever
title. The test was held at Swanson Farms, Elsmore, Kansas.
Kiera has turned out to be an excellent
dog for our kennel. She has a tri-pod point, and per Andy, “if
she could run on water she would”. Our Kennel plans to let Andy
continue her training and to obtain the highest possible titles she is
capable of. Next up will be the AKC double hunt test at the South
Dakota Hunting Dog Club, May 23-24.
September 27-28, 2008
- What a great day for our Kennel!!! Auggie passed the double JH
test in Tulsa, OK, thus giving him is JH title. Auggie went 4/4
in tests this fall so we are extremely proud of him. Hopefully this is
the first of many more titles to come. Another high point for us
was that “Rachael” a black female out of one of our Hershey x Tess
litters passed her Master Pointing Retriever test in Girard, KS.
Rachael will compete for another pass in two weeks in Afton, IA and
will hopefully earn her Grand Master Pointing Retriever Title.
This is a great accomplishment for Rachael and her owners and it is
quite the testament to the type of dogs we are striving to produce.
September 10, 2008
- What a great two weeks it has been for having new pups. Abby
delivered 10 beautiful puppies today that included 3 yellow males, 3
yellow females, and 4 black females. Abby is a wonderful mom as
this is her third litter. This combination of Rockstar (stud
dog), and Abby will be sure to please even the most discriminating
buyer/hunter.
September 07, 2008--Under
the direction of Professional Dog trainer Andy Schoeberl of High
Caliber Labradors, Kiera obtained her second pass in the AKC Junior
Hunter Test. The test was held at the North Dakota Retriever Club
in Glyndon, MN. This most likely will wrap up Kiera’s trials for
the fall season as she is now at the half way point to her JH
title. Kiera’s trainer, Andy Schoeberl will soon be heading off
to his pheasant guiding job for the rest of the fall and winter.
We will get hooked back up with Andy in late winter so he and Kiera can
continue their training together and hit the Spring of 2009 trials hard.
September 06, 2008--Under
the direction of Kyle Hodges, Auggie obtained his second pass in the
AKC Junior Hunter Test. The test was held at the Mile-Hi Golden
Retriever Club in Berthoud, CO. Auggie’s trainer, Lonny Taylor,
is now looking at running Auggie in a double hunt test in Tulsa, OK to
see if Auggie can possibly obtain his JH title this fall prior to
heading down to Texas for winter training, and to start working on the
skills needed for the Senior Hunter Test. Our Kennel is thrilled
with Auggie’s progress.
September 03, 2008—Wow
what a scary/exciting night for our family/kennel. Nala (through
a c-section) delivered 17 puppies!!! Unfortunately 4 of them did
not make it through the operation. Our Kennel has 13 yellow pups
that are doing wonderful and mom is also doing quite well. We
will be pretty busy keeping a eye on them and making sure to the best
of our abilities they stay healthy (weighing them, and bottle feeding
if necessary). There are several deposit positions available on
this litter. Please contact us.
