Tina is a third generation Versatile Springer recipient, following the family tradition of her Grand-dam Am Can Ch. Serenade’s Spirit of Alynn VCD1 (2002), JH,AX,OAX,WD,CD and her dam, Ch. Alynn’s Solitaire VCD2 (2010), MH,UD,WDX,TD,MX,MXJ and great-aunt Am Can Ch Serenade’s Esprit of Alynn VCD (2010), MH,TD,OA,OAJ,WDX,CGC.
She is sired by Am Ch Laurelwyn Springerlane Continuum, and was whelped 21 October 2013. She is OFA Good and PRA DNA Normal. The only bitch in her litter, she had that special presence that breeders covet and she showed a willingness to please and an enthusiasm for anything new, at a young age.
Tina was trained and handled to all her performance titles by Lynn and is our 5th owner-breeder-handled versatility award winner. A multitask gal, she earned her tracking and junior hunter titles while on her way to her Championship. She effortlessly moved between each competition and her eager attitude, natural instincts and trainability has made her a joy to work with no matter what adventure we chose.
In the conformation ring she has that “ look at me attitude” and finished with 3 majors. As a Special Tina won a Group 3rd and an Award of Merit at the 2016 National Specialty.
Tina’s enthusiasm and attention to the job asked of her, was particularly memorable, when on a terribly windy, rainy day ,her last tracking leg was a long 280 yards. I thought she had missed the glove, but she was right on it, earning her TD title at just a year old.
One of Tina’s favorite places to be is in the field, especially pheasant hunting. However I recall she wasn’t impressed, when on a long retrieve, a bald eagle swooped down and snatched her bird! She has been on many, very successful pheasant hunts, with my son.
When representing the breed, at the yearly Puyallup Sportsman’s Show, she gets very excited to meet the children. Hopefully, our next adventure together will be working on becoming a certified therapy dog and visiting the local children’s hospital.
