MICHIGAN - Top Shelf's Diamond Duke in the Rough "Cedric"
Registry: AKC/NAVHDA - GW-013329 DOB: July 4, 2021 NAVHDA UT - 201 Prize 1 OFA Elbow: Normal OFA Thyroid: Normal Coat: Med. Dense/Med. Harsh Shoulder Height: 25" Furnishings: FF Laingsburg, MI Cedric’s most outstanding trait is how easy he is to hunt, train, and hang out with. He is eager to learn and is fueled by a desire to please. He is a natural retriever proud to deliver his game to hand with intense eye contact. He has tons of point and enters the water with a workman-like attitude. We have never owned a dog with such a dramatic off switch in the house and calm demeanor around other people, including toddlers. Cedric has a medium range and works very cooperatively in the ruffed grouse woods. He covers ground efficiently and hunts objectives intelligently. He tirelessly searches for game on land and water. Cedric is a product of Griff’s Duke Sir Ivan the Huntsman (VC Three Devils O Duke of Schmieding Farm X Griff’s Viking Lady) and Elsa Lady of the Land (Prairie Fire’s Prairie Dock X Gilly’s Afterhours). __________________________________________ MONTANA - GCH Wireswest Honestly Earned At Claddagh - "Merit"

Claddagh Kennel Owner: William & Courtney Bastian Bonner, MT (406) 244-2442 Merit is the ultimate, versatile GWP! When we saw pictures of him at 7 weeks old hitting the water hard, retrieving birds with great stride, and with nice style on point… we knew we needed that boy in Wisconsin! Merit’s pedigree is loaded with Dual Champions, National Field Champions, Master Hunters, NAVHDA Utility titles, and accomplished DD’s. Merit takes after his name wholeheartedly… everything he does is honest and true to form. He easily gained his juvenile field trial points then went on to earn his Senior Hunter title at 2 years old, and in his first season as a broke dog placed in 2 out of the 4 field trials he was entered in. On the show scene, he earned 3 majors totaling 13 points his first weekend out including a Best of Breed over specials. With very limited showing, he ended 2016 as #11 GWP at only a year old and gained his Grand Champion title. His first National Specialty as an adult special, Merit was awarded Best of Opposite Sex at just 2 years old. Merit is currently working towards finishing his Dual Champion title and will be running NAVHDA UT in 2019. He has sired a few litters that have just hit the ground, and we look forward to seeing how he produces. You won’t find a better temperament in a male GWP than Merit’s. He is loved and adored by all that know him! Pedigree

Registry: AKC/NAVHDA Color: Liver Roan DOB: 3/5/2016 Natural Ability Test - 112 Prize I (6/3/2017) Utility Test – 201 Prize I (10/1/2017) Invitational Test – 194 PASS (9/15/2018) OFA Hips: Good OFA Thyroid: Normal Von Willebrands Free Coat: Med. Dense/Med. Harsh Shoulder Height: 25” Weight: 58lbs Furnishings: FF Owner: Jeff Jalbert Top Shelf Kennels Horace, ND 701-367-5758
Ozzy is a 4th generation NAVHDA Versatile Champion. His 3-generation pedigree contains (7) Versatile Champions and such great names as Thunderhill’s, Three Devil’s, Barbwire’s, RLB’s and Ken Vospet. Ozzy comes from a NAVHDA Natural Ability Breeders Award litter, with (6) puppies tested receiving Prize I scores. One of the Ozzy’s most outstanding traits is his “biddability”. I’ve never owned a Wirehair so eager to learn, train, and please. His retrieve training literally took less than a month, and he absolutely excelled when it came to UT training. At only 2 years/6 months of age, Ozzy is certainly not the youngest dog to pass the NAVHDA Invitational, however it does tell the story of his trainability and talent for a such young dog. In the upland field, Ozzy’s “big run” and great confirmation allow him to cover a ground almost effortlessly. He has very high “water-drive” and loves retrieving waterfowl just as much as upland birds. As impressive as his pedigree and test results may be, Ozzy’s quiet gentle personality and “know no strangers” attitude make him one of the most enjoyable dogs I’ve ever had the privilege to own. Ozzy is available for stud to approved NAVHDA/AKC Hunting/Testing females. __________________________________________ OREGON - Bone Point's Gunnar - "Odin"

Odin is a precocious young male with incredible raw talent. We haven't been this excited about a male in 20 years and we expect him to have a big impact on our breeding program. When you break down all aspects of the versatile dog, he is exceptional in nearly all of them. His desire and intensity on game is as good as I have ever seen. He has a very long nose. He hammers the water to retrieve and has a natural duck search. He is a dog that naturally works head-high on game, but is a fantastic tracking dog, when needed on cripples. His work ethic, cooperation and trainability are as good as you can ask for - he has a lot of bottom and he wants to work, but he is a dog that needs an experienced handler. Odin is one of the strongest natural retrieves I have seen and has already made several very nice blind retrieves on chukar this year. He has a friendly personality to our kids and strangers, and he gets along well with our other dogs. Odin scored a maximum 70 points in the VHDF HAE test, which is not an easy task. He ran the VHDF AHAE test at 19 months old where he scored a very high 170 pts with scores of 11 (for exceptional work under difficult circumstances) in Search, Search Behind the Duck, and Desire. Odin is learning to apply all of his talents on wild birds this year and we have no doubt that he will be a great hunting dog with experience. Odin is out of a very tight linebreeding and we expect this to contribute to his prepotency as a sire. His dam, Ziva, is one of the best dogs we have ever owned and many of our nicest dogs in recent years are out of her. His sire, Blitz, is one of Jeff Funke's top producing males. In addition, he is linebred on the great producing Lager v den drei Teufeln. When you combine these genes with Odin's talent, we fully expect him to be a great producer for our breed. Odin is co-owned with Nathan and Christy Grimm of Pasco, Washington. ___________________________________________ OREGON - Bone Point's Oracle - "Rizzo"

Rizzo is a talented young male that we are very happy with. We really likes what he brings to the table and feel he has a lot of offer the gene pool. He is a good-sized male, but he is very athletic with an excellent field search. He has been an outstanding pheasant cover dog since his first hunts at 5 months old. Rizzo has always been a beast in the water, and duck hunting and training for the duck search came very naturally to him. He is a nice moving field dog with a medium range that will push out 200-300 yards in open country. He is a naturally cooperative dog that keeps in contact with you and wants to please. Rizzo is my dad's personal hunting dog that lives in the house. He has a wonderful, calm, affectionate temperament and is an easy keeper. Rizzo is just a dog that everyone around him loves. He has a friendly temperament and gets along well with other dogs.

He has been very successful on many types of upland birds and waterfowl in multiple types of terrain from the Mississippi river to California. He is a calm and collected gentleman around the house and great with children. Sileaux matured quickly and went through his natural ability, utility and hunting retriever tests at a young age. During his hunting retriever test a double mark and blind on both land and water is required. Sileaux can go from running a controlled blind with complete focus on the handler to an independent duck search with just a switch of the command. Sileaux has also been very successful in AKC field trials and has several placements including two first place wins. Sileaux has a unique pedigree with three national field champions, four field champions, two dual champions, three NSTRA champions, four versatile champions and thirteen utility titles in a four-generation pedigree. His sire, grandsire and great grandsire were all national field champions. Like his sire, Sileaux has long legs and a strong muscular build and sweet friendly temperament. His dam Blue is one of the best dogs we have ever bred and comes from the very successful Bone Point stud crossed with a gritty Blue Collar dam. Blue has been a very solid producer in her litters with an average score of 111/112 with all the pups in each litter tested and three of her pups have placed at the GWPCA national horseback derby. __________________________________________ OREGON - Bone Point's Bounty Hunter "Diesel"
