About Sileaux: (Pronounced Silo)

Sileaux is trained, handled, and co-owned by first-time owner Catrina Terry. Based in North Dakota, Sileaux hunts over 90 days a year, primarily pursuing waterfowl and prairie upland species. While enjoying the good life of a resident North Dakotan, Sileaux and Catrina have hunted across nine states, with Sileaux pointing 13 species of wild gamebirds. No matter where he’s dropped, Sileaux hunts hard, covers ground, and produces birds.

Sileaux’s tracking ability is a standout strength. He blood tracks deer and has repeatedly tracked and retrieved crippled roosters over 300+ yards. Retrieving is his favorite part of the hunt, he has been a natural retriever from the start, excelling on marks and eagerly training alongside Labradors.

Despite his intensity in the field, Sileaux has been exceptionally biddable and forgiving to train. Even with the inevitable learning curve of a first-time owner, he remained enthusiastic, cooperative, and eager to please. That attitude translated into success across multiple venues. Sileaux excelled in NAVHDA and the retriever games, earning a Prize I Utility score and his UKC Hunting Retriever Championship (HRCH), an uncommon combination, both achieved within just a few weeks.

Catrina continues to campaign Sileaux in AKC field trials, where he is field trial pointed with multiple placements in broke dog stakes.

Catrina and Sileaux attended their first NSTRA trial in 2025, without a mentor, they managed to win both the open and amateur with a full 30 dog stake. Catrina plans to continue with NSTRA but not until after Sileaux finishes his AKC field championship.

Off the field, Sileaux has an excellent off switch. He accompanies Catrina to the office daily, content to snooze on his bed, soak up attention, and patiently settle indoors when harsh North Dakota winters limit time outdoors. He is as enjoyable to live with as he is formidable in the field.

Sileaux is the product of a breeding that blends field trial lines with some of the best Western versatile bloodlines in the breed. His sire, grandsire, and great-grandsire are all German Wirehaired Pointer Club of America National Horseback Field Trial Champions, underscoring generations of proven performance at the highest level. Sileaux’s dam has been an exceptional producer. Her puppies have done well with 23 of them achieving a prize I in the natural ability test and 7 of them placing in the GWPCA National Horseback Field Trials, demonstrating consistent natural talent and trainability.
