Condor

        Since it took several years for Falcon to finally have a litter of puppies, I had to keep one and that turned out to be Condor. Although I like two of the others better they were destine for different homes and Condor stayed. I named her after her mom, so that when I yell "Con" they would both get the picture. She is a very sweet loving girl and her favorite time is chewing her bone on the bed watching tv at night. As I look down at her sleeping at my feet while I work on the computer I wonder what life will hold for her, championship, agility, retrieving, puppies? Hope for the future.
         Condor went to North Carolina with me for two weeks in March 2008. She learn how to swim, retrieve pigeons, chase live pigeons and retrieve ducks from the pond, she had a great time. She especially liked hanging out at the hunt test head quarters with her new friends while I was judging.
        Condor was added to the entry to Echo Hills Kennel Club June 2008 to support a major and she did very well, even though she was shedding as fast as she could. She went Best of Opposite Sex in puppy sweepstakes on Saturday and first in the 6-9 month puppy bitches both Saturday and Sunday. Condor received her first two points winning Best of Breed over the special and the class girls and boys at the Medina Kennel Club show on 7/19/2008 (too bad the major broke). Condor received back to back major's at the February 14, & 15, 2009 shows in Indiana. Condor finished her championship on March 8, 2009 less than 9 months after her first point.
        During the summer of 2009 Condor worked on learning to be a senior hunt but wasn't quite ready in the fall so she'll have to wait till 2010 to compete. So she went off to Aunt Karen's weave pole camp for a few months in the fall of 2009.   I decided to wait for one more season to breed her because timing wasn't the best when she came into season winter 2009.
        Condor did finish her Novice agility titles in the spring of 2010. We decided to breed her instead of working on her senior title when she came into season in June. Since the June breeding didn't result in any puppies, Condor competed and received two of her Senior hunter legs in the late fall of 2010. Condor was bred to Cur-San's Ruff Cut a second time and the puppies born March 26, 2011, she had 13 puppies, 8 boys and 5 girls, see the 2011 Puppy Condor & Ruff Cutt page for more information. Condor completed her senior hunting title June 19, 2011 at the Buckeye Retriever Club hunt test in Hambden OH.
        Condor passed away suddenly on September 12, 2011, she was 3 3/4 years old. The thing I will miss most about Condor is when she brought the bird back to me she always tilted her head up to deliver the bird making eye contact "see my nice bird Mom I brought it back just for you" After delivering the bird she would then look out into the field for the next one. She was one of a kind.
