Who knew this puppy would live up to
her name? An incredible Journey it has been. At practically her 1st
show she was WB for her 1st Specialty 5 pt major in an entry of 80 from the 6-9
month puppy class the day before the ESSFTA National in OH. She also won
the 6-9 Sweepstakes class at the ESSFTA National & the Lake Erie host Specialty.
She came home and won her 1st Puppy Sporting Group and has not slowed down
since! Journey
won her 1st Best in Sweepstakes at the Michigan Specialty in Sept 2005 and
topped that by going WB/BOW for her second Specialty 5 pt major at the tender
age of 12 months. Showing next at American Spaniel Club, we captured a
Sweepstakes win and most memorably the Bred By Class, quite an
accomplishment. She next went on to finish her Championship with her 3rd 5
point Specialty major at the Garden State Specialty over Memorial Day weekend in
NJ.
Shown selectively, Journey has three
times made it to the final lineups of dogs at Eastern, the largest specialty in the
country and the ESSFTA National. She came out of retirement in 2011 after 3 litters, and enjoyed a magical & rewarding veteran's career. She earned numerous Veteran Sweepstakes under respected breeders and spaniel experts all over the Nation, finished her Grand Championship at the largest specialties in the country and also earned BOB at the Garden State specialty where she had finished her championship nearly 7 years earlier.
I am so thankful for this wonderful
girl who is a breeder's dream come true. She is simply incredible, and loves to travel to show with me. I have such an amazing time with this girl, I couldn't begin to describe. Thanks to all appreciated and
complimented her type & overall
quality. She is an absolute doll and I couldn't be prouder of her.
Journey has proven herself an
outstanding mother and producer. Her daughter Promise, Grand Ch. Chivalry's
Promise Me Magic (sired by Stanley) finished magically in a handful of shows
from the Bred By class with 4 majors. We are excited about her youngest
daughters, Dreamer, Ch. Chivalry's Enchanted Dreams and Taylor, Ch. Springwest
Chivalry's Our Song both sired by (Ch. Springwest Silver Wings) who finished their championships in family fashion and are learning the ropes to motherhood. Her youngest daughter, JJ, Ch. Chivalry's Journey On (sired by Ethan) also finished Breeder/Owner/Handled at specialties and is proving to carry on the Journey of motherhood as well as a promising producer.
What more could I ask for from this
special girl. A magical class career, a magical brood bitch career, a
magical veterans career, and a Grand Champion finishing with 5 majors at
specialties from the veterans class. Our Journey is sure to continue...
Journey is fast on her way to her Grand
Championship from the Veteran Class earning multiple specialty majors just like
she did from the classes. She is pictured winning Best of Breed at the
Garden State Specialty from the Veteran class. Her daughter JJ was Winners
Bitch that day as well.
What a memory! Judge Jack Gohde.
Journey Multiple Veteran Sweepstakes Winner
2012. She is pictured here winning at the Susquehanna Specialty in PA under Breeders Susan Still and Danny Sena.
Journey winning her first of hopefully many
Veteran sweepstakes at Chattahoochee specialty in Atlanta, GA.
These priceless memories are why we drag her
off the couch to do these shows! Thanks judge Carol Rushing.
Journey makes her debut as a Veteran with
multiple class wins ESSFTA National week. Even after not being shown for 3
years she proved to be the old champ she is and hit the end of the lead in true
Journey fashion. Thanks to judge Keke Kahn.
