Alivia vom Prairie-Flusstal "Livvy" has been such a sweet and easy dog to train, test, hunt, and live with. I love her cooperative temperament, her friendy attitude towards other dogs and people, her adaptability, her smaller size, her caution on wild birds, her strong pointing and backing instincts, her tracking ability, her love of retrieving, and her very hard and incredibly low-maintenance coat. In planning a litter out of her, I wanted to select a male with a similar temperament, better conformation, a little more size, and a longer coat. There is nothing I want more in the world than a Liesel grandpuppy so I cannot wait to keep a puppy out of this litter for myself.
I began a nationwide search of stud dogs to complement Livvy's strengths while trying to make some improvements on her conformation and coat length. I am fortunate to see many dogs every year due to judging performance tests and apprentice judging breed shows so I can't help forming opinions on individual dogs or lines that are most in line with my own personal preferences. I had a pretty extensive checklist of attributes I wanted in the stud dog for this litter. After much thought, I decided to breed Livvy to Earl vom Grizzly Creek. Earl is built beautifully, and even with his longer coat, I don't think we are going to lose any of Livvy's harshness, density, or coverage. He has the bombproof temperament that I always prioritize in our breeding program. And he's been producing pups with his best attributes in other litters.
Both Livvy and Earl completed overnight blood tracks at their VGPs. I think this provides more confirmation of the wonderful temperament in both of these dogs that they have the focus and desire necessary to excel in cold tracking. Livvy has definitely proven herself in hot tracking while pheasant hunting with me in Nebraska :-) I am very excited to keep the only female in this litter for myself. One of the males will be going to Earl's owner. And the other male has a great new home lined up with another passionate hunter.
