2010 Breedings

In the spring of 2010, we raised litters from two outstanding "McGoo type" females accomplished on wild birds. Striking Elhew Jessie whelped a litter by our proven producer of natural gun dogs, Striking Elhew Mack. Striking Elhew Dixie whelped a litter by Elhew Gold, a proven producer of natural bird dogs, and Jessie's sire. Both breedings represent a concentration of the "McGoo type blood" proven to produce wild bird dogs of uncommon natural ability.

Striking Elhew Mack, at four years of age, is proving to be a prepotent sire of classy, well-made, easily developed, natural bird dogs. His pups exhibit excellent "noses", strong pointing instincts, natural retrieving ability, comfortable range, and compliant temperaments. Owners report that they are making fine gun dogs, and family companions.

To meet the demands from serious, knowledgeable bird hunters for Mack's puppies, we have recently bred him to two exceptional young daughters of Elhew Seahorse. Exa and Jane are owned by Nitro Kennels in Rockport Missouri. Details of these breedings can be seen at www.nitrokennels.com/puppies.html.

Jane and Exa's sire, Elhew Seahorse, produced two Woodcock Futurity winners, a Shooting Dog Champion, and numerous fine companion gun dogs. He is out of a full sister to Elhew Mr. McGoo. The dams of both Exa and Jane are direct daughters of the great grouse dog sire, Elhew Sea Wolf. Both are, therefore, line bred "McGoo-type" females. Their pups sired by Mack will be rich in the Elhew genetics proven to produce outstanding companion gun dogs and, particularly grouse dogs.

Since our kennel is currently full, our stud fee pups from these two promising breedings will be available for purchase. For more information contact us, or Nitro Kennels.

Elhew Gold

Striking Elhew Dixie

Elhew Gold is one of the last producing pure Elhew sons of noted sire, Elhew Damascus. He is a substantial, powerfully built dog with an excellent temperament. He produces attractive, easily handled, natural bird dogs.

Dixie is a classy, well-made, Mack x Maggie daughter with her sire's intelligence, athleticism, and natural ability, and her dam's exceptional "nose" and character around game. She is a hard hunting, compliant bird dog accomplished on both prairie and woodland grouse. Dixie is also a strong natural retriever.

This litter represents a rare concentration of the Elhew Strike x Guard Rail daughter "nick" known to produce exceptional natural bird dogs - particularly grouse dogs. You will not find more of the "McGoo type blood" so highly regarded by knowledgeable wild bird hunters. These pups will be physically impressive, great family companions, and outstanding gun dog prospects.

Dixie whelped a beautiful litter of seven orange marked pups on February 8th. All are sold, and they moved to their new homes in April.

Mack x Jessie

Striking Elhew Mack

Striking Elhew Jessie

Mack is a classy, athletic, hard-muscled, intelligent dog of exceptional natural ability. He passes these traits on to his pups. Jessie is a gifted natural bird dog with a great temperament, and near perfect conformation. Both Mack and Jessie handle kindly, have excellent "noses", retrieve naturally, and are accomplished grouse dogs.

This breeding represents an uncommon concentration of the "McGoo/Sea Wolf blood" (Strike x Kiwi) known to produce exceptional natural gun dogs - particularly grouse dogs. National shooting dog champion Elhew Snakefoot is represented in this pedigree by Elhew Jefferson, his most charismatic son. These pups will look good in the kennel, in front of the fireplace, on the ground, or on point. They will make great family companions and wild bird dogs.

Jessie whelped a nice litter of ten uniform, orange-marked pups on February 11th. All are sold, and their new owners are enjoying them.
