![Description: MPj01780730000[1]](aboutus_files/image002.jpg) Larry has trained hunting dogs all his
life and retrievers for 40 years, but he started training for field trials in
Alaska in
1981.
Since that time he has titled 6 dogs and finished 19 Nationals, with 5 different dogs.
FC-AFC-CFC-CAFC MHR Jazztime was the first dog that
he titled.
Although we lost Jazztime when he was just six
years old, he had accumulated 176-1/2 points in the US and Canada. He won 3 Double Headers
and was a National Finalist 6 times.
He was also a finalist in the 1990 NAHRA invitational and a member of the All America
team that year. Jazztime was the foundation of our line of retrievers.
AFC-CFC-CAFC Chugach Hills Jazz's Rascal came from Jazztime's
very first litter.
He was a finalist in the 1995 Canadian National. He is now deceased and
resting next to Jazztime.
FC-AFC-CFC-CAFC Jazztime's Frequent Flyer
("Trip") was a National finalist 7 times and has won 2 Double
Headers. He finished his first
National at 2-1/2. He has passed away and rests next to Jazztime and Rascal.

Last Chance v Pekisko (“Chance”) is now running
All-Age stakes; he got off to a good start by getting both his Canadian
titles at 28 months of age. He has
several Open and Amateur wins, and several other Open and Amateur places, as
well as numerous JAMs in the Open and Amateur. He is qualified for the
National Open in 2011 at Oakdale, CA.
Although Larry enjoys training for and running the All-age stakes in field
trials, he especially likes working with young dogs. We always seem to have
one or two that he is bringing along.
Some of those are sold as field trial dogs and some as well trained gun dogs.
Larry is an avid bird hunter, both waterfowl and upland birds, so our dogs
are hunted after the field trial season is over and throughout the fall and
winter.
Anna
started in field trials in 1987 and finished 2 Nationals with her first dog
GMHR Chugach Hills Itsy Bitsy. Bitsy
finished 2 NAHRA Invitationals and became a member
of the 1989 and 1990 All America Team. Her second dog is FC-AFC-CFC-CAFC-MHR-MPR Jazztime
Albertawind v Pekisko. Windy qualifed
for 10 nationals and was a finalist at the 2002 Canadian National Amateur.
Windy is now retired and enjoying the good life as a house dog.
We did run the NAHRA hunt
tests while we were in Alaska, but since moving to Montana we have
concentrated on running field trials. We enjoyed the hunt tests and
we both finished the NAHRA Invitational, but find we do not have the time or
money to do both hunt tests and field trials.
However,
in the spring and summer of 2005 we ran 3 NAHRA weekends and had a lot of
fun. Since then we have run some
American Pointing Lab Association events and some more NAHRA tests. Chance
earned his Master Hunting Retriever Title and then his Grand Master Pointing
Retriever Title.
