new FC AFC CFC Fast Track Accellorator new MH, SH, NA, NAJ   "ACE" 

                      a Triple Champion & Master Hunter at not quite 3 1/2 yrs  old!

This is the pup that I didn't want.    (Billie K keeps reminding me of this.) Now, I would not take a fortune for him.

We were dog "full" when Ace was born.  I did not need another dog at that time.  But we kept 2 Black and White males from that litter for a couple of weeks and Billie said that she is keeping one no matter what. So, being the loving husband, I said ok, but we will keep the one with the black leg.  The other one is "Dude" and he went to our good friend Jim Malcolm.

 Ace is a very exciting dog to watch. He is the ideal size, log legs, athletic body and boy can he cover the ground. He moves so gracefully that you don't realize how much ground he is covering.  He ran a few puppy stakes and got some experience and some placements, then it was time to move him up to the big boys.

Ace put it all together this fall, earning his AFC, becoming 2006 High Point Amateur Dog in the East, and getting a Win and a 4th in the Open. This is truly Billie's dog., she has done all his training.  What a team they have become, they received a "Credit of Merit" from the Judges of the 2006 National Amateur Championship!   He is always wanting to please her, taking direction, and glancing at her body movements.  I am so proud of them both.

To follow along in his fathers paw prints, Ace has also earned a "Guns Awards" & his AKC Senior Hunter title & both AKC Novice Agility titles!  Billie K hopes to earn his  ESSFTA  Versatile Springer title this year.  (see www.essfta.com   ESS Versatility  to see what is involved, Indy is in 2004 Annual Awards Special Recognition for his VS & Field Champion/Obedience Springer of the Year 2004(obedience sect), we had 3 Multi-Titlist that year: Indy, Dolly & Roxie)

Of course an AKC "FC" title (Open, Pro class Field Trial Championship) was also very high on the list of Achievements we hoped he would  accelerate to while on his Fast Track journey.  On March 3rd, 2007, Ace Won the Open All-Age Stillwater Valley Field Trial in DeGraff, Ohio trial with Billie K handling, earning his "FC" title, since this was his 2nd Win!   Both judges told her that her & Ace have a very special bond which truly enhances his performance in the field & made up for the couple little handling errors, along with Ace's  Perfect Pattern in his 2nd Series & Pin Point retrieves, his Flowing run & of couse great nose & bird work!!  They also said you can tell Billie K has a lot of confidence in Ace & really enjoys running him!!  Thank you Tom Aunkst & Bob Murdock.

Ace has been "Something Special" & it's hard to believe he is not even 2 1/2 yrs. old yet.  Who knows how far he will go on his Fast Track, he has a very solid beginning & now only trails 8 titles behind dad FC AFC CFC Hellfire's Fast Track MH, MX, AXJ, CD, VS!!  update: Ace has added a Master Hunter to his achievement list!!

           You've come a long  way, Baby!! 

                              Ace has  begun our 3rd Generation of Fast Track Springers siring 2 litters

We are sadden to say that we Sold our littleKrystal,    she was on the small side & we worried that the much larger young males would injury her while playing out back, we believe she will be better off in her new Arizona home
