Spirit is the youngest to receive the Versatile Springer Award completing all titles one month after her third birthday. She has also been a multiple titlist for three years. It wasn’t planned, it just happened. From the beginning, she has enjoyed the excitement and challenge of competing in many activities.
At a very young age, she had the attitude and presence that said, “I can do this, I am the one!” Her first introduction to field work was at eleven weeks old and she instinctively retrieved her bird. Her first show at nine months was to be for experience, but resulted in her winning a four point major. She soon finished her American Championship while still a puppy.
Her favorite events are hunting and tracking as she gets to use her nose and loves the thrill of the reward at the end of the hunt.
In February, Spirit whelped her first litter and her puppies will be competing in many performance events in the coming years. Future plans are to add a CDX and TDX to her resume.
“The typical Springer is friendly, eager to please, quick to learn and willing to obey.” Spirit truly exemplifies the Spirit of the Springer.
