“Maze”...not only is she beautiful, but she has brains and disposition too.   I have bred my dogs for personality and health first, followed closely with hunting and athletic ability.  Maze is a great combination of all these traits.  When she sees a bird go down, she nails it and brings it back with style and gusto.  In the living room she plays hostess, making sure everyone knows they are welcome.   She had her Junior Hunter title in 4 attempts by the age of 14 months.  She was working on her Senior title the summer of 2002.   My two summers of hip surgeries on myself has delayed her progress in the field, good thing she was understanding.

She has been mated three times to Counterpoints Captain MH WCX CGC, which resulted in some very energetic, willing to please, great marking pups.  Int.CH HR Sunshine on Golden Pond CD SH WC CGC “Decoy” earned his first leg towards his JH Title at the age of 6 months in August 2001. Littermate, Sunshine South End Logan MX MXJ CGC, continues to do an outstanding job in Agility, his latest accomplishment was being nominated to the Master Agility Trial 2005, in Pensacola, Florida

Because I loved how this mating turned out, I rebred Maze to Cappy to get a pup for myself, the result being Sunshine Shuga Baby, “Shuga”.  She is a delight.  Catches on really fast, marks are amazing and her disposition is a pleasure to work with.  As of September 2005, she has earned 2 JR, 3 Sr, and 1 Master Qualification.  Shuga’s littermate, owned by Scott and Kim Katzenmeyer, Sunshine Chief of Police SH, earned two Master legs in back to back weekends August 2005.

A third mating of Maze/Cappy resulted in daughter “Baby” Sunshine Back to the Future JH. She earned her Junior Title at two Hunt Tests.  NFHRA August 2004, she earned her first two and then we moved to Evansville and the setting up a new kennel had kept us busy throughout the next summer.  With only a limited work out the day before the test at Blackhawk Retriever Club, Sept 2005, she did an outstanding job and earned her last two ribbons in the two-day test.
