So Slammer (Hollywood), my friend Kim and I did a thing this last weekend. Kim wanted to enter a AKC show but didn’t want to be the only one so she asked me if I would go with her and show. I said “you know I don’t show in AKC” she said “it will be fun, let’s do it”. I had prior plans on Saturday so Slammer spent the night with Kim so she could show him on Saturday. Well I had no expectations at all and was surprised when Kim said congrats on Slammers MAJOR! Thanks to judge Del Richards for finding my boy worthy on his first AKC show. Sunday was my turn to show Slammer and Dr. Eric Liebes found Slammer worthy again for a MAJOR! Woweeee never expected that! So now I must try and finish him which is something I’ve never done in AKC. Thank you Kim for encouraging me to show, for handling Slammer and for the wonderful memories that won’t ever fade (picture to prove it). We will do this again. Thanks to the clubs for hosting and the judges for their time.

HR HILL TOP’S STEALING CINDERELLA SH – AKA- PUNKIN

YOUNGEST CBR EARNS SENIOR HUNTER TITLE AT 11 MONTHS OF AGE!

HR Hill Top’s Stealing Cinderella SH (HRCH Sand Spring Norm of Caroway MH X HRCH Hope Springs Dowry MH**)

No joke- On April 1st, 2012, Punkin became the youngest Chesapeake Bay Retriever ever to
earn an AKC Senior Hunter title at the age of 11 months, titling at Shreveport Bossier Retriever Club.

Punkin and her litter mates were born on Friday the 13th (!)- 8 pups in all. At the age of 5 weeks,
Punkin, who was to go to Ken Shaw in IL, was bitten above her left eye by a copperhead snake. She
spent three days at the vet’s, having surgery to remove dead tissue. Litter owner Alan Sandifer was
told she would lose the affected eye. Now Punkin was not Alan’s pick of the litter; he had planned on
keeping a different little girl. But he couldn’t very well send a one-eyed pup to Ken, so Alan’s first pick
went north to IL. Punkin went on the truck with the big dogs, and headed to North Dakota to train. The
stitches were removed from Punkin’s face fourteen days later, and Alan reports “ I saw the prettiest
little blue eye looking back at me.”

So, time to train little Punkin. Of this, Alan says, “I have never seen a pup so eager to learn. She
can problem solve better than most humans, and breezed through OB, CC and FF; she was casting and
running a T at five months.” Punkin ran and passed her first ever HRC Started test at twelve weeks. She
then ran the Junior Duck Dog Challenge at thirteen weeks, losing to an eighteen month old lab.

When not training, she hunted, setting out on her first duck hunt at six months. Flooded fields and
pit blinds, flooded timber and dog stands- she handled hunting like a seasoned dog.

Her hunt test career continued, with Punkin qualifying in two seasoned tests before she reached the
age of eight months. Now she is running Finished, where she needs just two more passes to become a
HRCH. On to AKC, where Punkin was double-staked in four junior and senior tests to complete BOTH
titles on April Fool’s Day!

Currently, Alan and Punkin are training hard, the goal being to qualify for the 2012 Master National!
Look for Team Punkin at the FTS in Idaho as well, where Punkin will debut in the Derby and the Qualifier,
and maybe even the AM and Open.

Punkin is certainly one young dog to keep an eye on! Bred, owned, trained, handled and loved by
Alan Sandifer

February 18-19, 2012 Hilltop’s Stealing Cinderella – aka Punkin passed 2 HRC Seasoned tests for her HR started title. She is out of HRCH Hope Springs Dowry MH and HRCH Sand Spring Norm Of Caroway MH. Punkin is 9 months old. Owned/Trained/Handled by Alan Sandifer, breeder of this litter.
