Blue is the one of the best natural upland dogs I have ever had the joy of hunting over. She is very fast and we often refer to her as “lungs with legs”. Like her sire, she has been very easy to train and willing to please. She passed her Natural Ability test at 5 months and we were shooting pointed birds over her the next week in Montana. She did as well or better tracking and pinning down roosters on her first season as our veteran dogs. She came from an extremely successful litter, not only did she receive a 112/112 Natural Ability prize I, but the other four litter-mates that were tested all received 112 prize I. Blue and all her litter-mates love children, other dogs and live in family homes. At 17 months, Blue received a 194 prize II in her Utility Test only missing a prize one due to receiving a “3” in pointing due to high bird drive at that age. She easily received a “4” in the duck search and loves tearing through the heavy marsh in search of ducks! She has a very soft mouth and I was able to use the same live duck for several months of training. Like her dam, she loves chasing waterfowl and has no trouble getting large ducks and geese back to the blind. Blues pointing intensity and honesty has been incredible. At less than 2 years of age she consistently waited for 5 or 10 minutes on point before we could get to her to flush the covey. She seems to have a knack for paralyzing birds that are running out from other dogs. Blue has absolutely crushed the upland game pinning every western species open to hunting including difficult to pin blue grouse, sage grouse and mountain quail. We consider her a "Blue Hen" she is very prepotent even producing pups better than herself. Blue’s litters have produced nineteen exceptional puppies, they had an average Natural Ability test score of 109.8/112 points and four of her pups have placed in the German Wirehair Pointer Club of America's National Horseback derby Field Trial (2nd ,3rd place finishes in 2019, 4th place in 2021 and 4th place in 2022). One of her puppies placed first in the GWPCA Puppy Classic in 2022. blue has produced several prize one Utility pups and a Versatile Champion.
Blue comes from a line of excellent German registered dogs' genetics and American lines from Idaho, Utah and Oregon to create some incredibly talented, driven and highly trainable dogs. Many great wirehair breeders worked for decades to produce this line of dogs. These puppies are direct decedents of the top producing versatile stud wirehairs in the United States including Bone Point’s Magnus, Lager V Den Drei Teufeln and Salty Pete V Rahnhaus.

We Purchased Big B as a puppy from Dr. Trevor Ferguson DVM. owner of Canyon Creek Kennels in Missoula Montana. Trevor is our primary vet for all of our dogs and who we use for AI breedings.
​
Big B has long legs and a strong muscular build. He has an ideal coat for hunting that is dense and harsh. He is an incredibly sweet dog with a very happy temperament and the strongest off-switch of any wirehair puppy we have ever had.
Big B spent his first hunting season chasing prairie birds in Montana and North Dakota and had a great first season. During his very first hunt on September 1st at only 5 months old he found, pointed, and retrieved a Hungarian partridge. He has a lot of natural point and massive run that worked well in the prairies, and he would pound through cattails to pin elusive roosters. In open country he is consistently pushing to the farthest ridges and has fun doing it. Big B paralyzes birds and has done fantastic on quail, huns and chukar in Oregon during his second season. He has consistently been our top guide dog at Bachman Bay Outfitters. His ability to pin wild upland birds has been the best we have seen and everyone loves watching him hunt he is very animated.
​ Big B hit the horseback field trial circuit in 2022 with a vengeance. He was ranked as the #2 puppy/derby dog in the national GWPCA rankings, narrowly missing the top spot. He won the GWPCA National Derby Classic and took 3rd in the National Field Futurity. We will never forget watching him lap the course on the Prairie Wind Ranch, at one of the most difficult and steep field trial grounds in the United States.
Jill, a first-time handler, handled Big B in his Natural Ability test at only 5 months old. While he didn’t score his best (P3), we decided not to re-run him and focus on hunting and field trials. He still has his moments lacking cooperation, but he loves retrieving and water as he has matured.
​ In the AKC show ring, he dominated every show he entered winning 4 majors in a row and finishing his championship title shortly after that.
Big B’s sire Gus is the top producing AKC field stud in all history. He was a dual champion and has produced more FC, AFC, MH puppies than any other wirehair in history. His dam is GCH CH Claddagh Ring it in Sula NA1 UT2 a very talented dog that comes from a mixture of famous field trial dogs from Backwoods kennel and some nice UK imports including Sula's mother Karmin who is the only VC DC wirehair in history of the breed.
