Revolution under New Ownership


Grand Heritage Revolution during a workout at Ladywood Farm

Trevor is a remarkable young dog that shows the promise of his daddy - Moe. We wish Trevor, R B Powell, his new owner, and Jeanette Tracy all the best.


Moe is Honorable Mention in Keystone Ch.

Grand Heritage Motion is recognized with Honorable Mention behind the named Ch and R/u Ch in the Keystone Championship held by the Indiantown Gap bird Dog Club in Petersburg, PA.

I had an opportunity to ride Moe's brace in this championship - what a thrill it was. He was braced with Calico's Catch & Release, a multiple Ch and retuning event Ch. They had several divided and individual finds, and backs  throughout, only to have Moe finish strong, ahead and have a nail bitting find and relocation at the end the hour. Jeanette Tracy and Dillion Shaffer did a great job throughout the brace to show Moe doin' his thing. After a few hours in the saddle, my admiration & appreciation for the job Jeanette and Dillion do was greatly enhanced.

Champion was Grand Heritage Motion, a setter male handled by Jeanette Tracy and owned by Bruce Cooper. Motion had five outstanding, beautiful finds and a big forward classy race, always hunting and to the front. Motion also had one heck of a finish with a big forward move down the big edge headed to the top of the hill; he went away fast aand strong. He ran in the 13 brace.

Sadie has Passed.

In a fitting tribute to Sadie, I ran a couple puppies and moved two grouse in the same woods that Sadie had her introduction to grouse. With the trees free of leaves and traces of snow on the ground, our outing was reflective of Sadie’s March birth and the 13 seasons we shared in pursuit of grouse, woodcock and pheasant together. As I watched the puppies bound, meander and play through the woodlot, I saw Sadie. At one point when they disappeared over a knoll, I envisioned Sadie’s silhouette. She was locked frozen on point. In standard fashion, her head was held high and proud, and her tail at 12. Her silhouette grew larger and larger to the size of a monumental statue only to burst at he patter of returning puppy feet. As I bent over to offer them an encouraging pet, I whispered "It’s ok Sadie, I’m right here."
