"Merry"

Merry is our first Harrier and first Show dog, and what a hound she has turned out to be!  She has multiple group placements. This picture is of Merry when she took her second High In Trial, for her third and final leg to complete her CD!   She is a wonderful girl, loving and funny, yet stubborn and goofy too. Merry was bred by Donna Smiley-Auborn and Lurine Norwood  Merry is now spayed and retired from the show ring, although she makes occasional appearances in the Veteran classes. On April 13th, 2008, Merry earned her Tracking Dog title and also her VCD1 (Versatile Companion Dog) title. The VCD title is given by the AKC when a dog earns titles in obedience, agility, and tracking.  Merry is the second Harrier in breed history to earn the VCD and the FIRST Champion Harrier to do so.

Luna has moved back home from Colorado and is now residing here at Wynfield.  Luna finished her championship by getting her last major the really hard way -- winning a Group 1!!! This puts her in a class that few other dogs can join! To the best of our knowledge, she is the first Red & White Harrier bitch to win a group at an AKC Show.

"Tinker"

Tinker has also moved home from Colorado. Tinker has matured into a handsome young man and is a delight to live with. Showing in the conformation ring is not his favorite thing, so he will concentrate on other things. He is training in Agility and has really taken to it!  Hopefully he will start competing in  2009.

"Brighty"

Brighty is Luna's daughter and Vinny's litter-sister. She lives in Independence, OR with co-owner Margie Dykstra.  Brighty finished easily, with her first major at 6 months of age, also winning Best Puppy in Show at the Cascade Hound Association the same day.  Her second major was earned going Winners Bitch at the 2007 Harrier National Specialty at 11 months of age. (And she was RWB the next day at the supported entry.) The rest of her points came easily and she was rarely defeated.  Brighty is working on obedience and tracking and will be shown as a special occasionally.
