2024
Still on cloud nine! Yesterday JBS and Slammer competed in a AKC Master Hunter test at Fox Valley Retriever Club under judges Andrea and Rick McConico. He passed so pending AKC approval we will receive his Master Hunter Title. This guy has been on a roll recently piling up the titles. They say you breed to better the breed and I believe I have done that with Slammer as he has accomplished more firsts for Sand Spring Chesapeakes than any other one of our dogs. His half brother Gambler started some first’s as their father was only a HRCH/MH, but Slammer has even out did Gambler with being Sand Springs’s first AKC show champion/MH. He also is our first United Master Jumper, Champion Shed Dog, Fetch Advanced, International Show Champion, Rally Excellent, Dock Master. Now to finish his HRCH and his Senior Jumper Champion. Ask Slammer to jump and he says how high! Thanks to my training group, the Wisconsin Teams, my friends and his fan group for all the help and encouragement there is more to come!
7/5/24 – Slammer had three days to accomplish his elite shed dog champion title. He pulled it off on the first day by taking second place giving him the needed points for his title. Thanks to WACKO for the event!
6/25/24 – Friday and today we took a break from running hunt tests and did some dock jumping. Slammer went into the jumps with 3 legs towards his master jumper title. He got one master leg Friday along with 40 points towards his senior championship. Today he got one more leg in masters for his title! He also got 20 more points towards his senior champion and 5 points towards his master championship. It was a great change and @southtownk9 along with @clicksbychris_photos did an awesome job hosting and making everything run smoothly. What a fun weekend hanging with crawfish dieter and Tom!

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.
