Memories of Beloved Friends

Schatzie

CH NMK-NV’s Schatz of Eventide MH

Schatzie was born on July 15, 1996. Schatzie was one of ten puppies in her litter. On the day she was born Sandy chose her to be his next hunting companion. Little did we know that Schatzie would go on to be the foundation bitch of our kennel. At the ripe old age of seven months Schatzie completed her Junior Hunter title in four attempts. She completed her Senior Hunter title in four straight tries at the age of eighteen months. On September 3, 2000 Schatzie completed her Master Hunter title. She completed her Show Championship on November 26, 2000. Schatzie gave us three beautiful litters of puppies, many you can see on this website. She was a joy to hunt with and cuddle with. Schatzie is german for "sweetheart" and she lived up to her name. She ended her career with flourish when we brought her out of retirement at the Reno specialty show,September 2005. She won Best Veteran and then proceeded to win BOS to her son Blaze! Schatzie left us January 27, 2006. It was much too soon. We still miss her.

Otis

NV's Inevitable Presence JH

Otis was born on December 24, 1993. We acquired Otis when he was two and a half years old. He had never seen a bird prior to coming to live with us. Otis didn’t point his first bird until he was almost three and a half, but once he figured out what he was supposed to do in the field he made rapid progress. He became a very accomplished hunting companion. Otis never quite attained his Show Championship, having retired from the show ring with twelve points including a three point major. Otis was probably the best teacher Sandy had in learning how to handle a show dog. He knew what to do and it wasn't long before Sandy was the only one he would let handle him. Otis left us January 3, 2006. We still enjoy telling "Otis" stories.
