We were back in Winona for the Coulee Kennel Club ALC. conformation show, but this time under Judge Ms. Karen J. Hynek!
Ignita and Teegan did great today! Izzy had a special touch with these girls, and had Teegan looking amazing in the ring! Sadly, no points for either girl, but both took 1st in their classes!

In breed, Zhara took Best of Opposite S*x for a 4 point major, bringing her total to 61 points of 100 toward her Grand Championship Bronze!

I’m proud of the girls! They all did fabulous! Love them all!!

While Astral was playing Ignita, Zhara, and Teegan were playing pretty dogs in Winona!

Teegan (no photo) was shown by a friend, and did FABULOUS! She was way more confident and had her tail up!

Ignita took Winners B***h for 1 point and Teegan Reserve Winners B***h! Ignita now only needs 2 singles to finish! Sooooo close!!!

On the ramp, Ignita went in for neck scratches, and became Velcro to the judge while she scratched her. Then Ignita wanted kisses. She’s such a happy girl!!!

Zhara showed like a pro, and also gave the judge extra love! The judge commented on how wonderful Zhara and the puppies coats were! Zhara took Best of Opposite S*x for 1 point! Zhara now has 57 points of 100 toward her Grand Championship Bronze! Hopefully we can finish that next year.

Astral & Matt Updates:
Midday: we walked two fields and Astral did great! She was on a track, but the bird she was following jumped out too far ahead. Alex (his brother) took a shot at one on the other side and missed, but Astral was not startled and kept her eye on the bird. Astral is going through cover like a champ! She actually followed Harper (Alex’s dog) into thick cat tail!! I am so proud of her. I feel bad the birds are avoiding us but she is having a blast!!

Evening: That’s a wrap with the South Dakota sunset in the background. I am so incredibly proud of how she did this week and gained so much confidence!! It was so much fun to see her track birds and just unfortunately, they were a little jumpy or in areas it was not good for her to go into. Even though we didn’t get a single bird I had so much fun seeing her work and know that we are going to make a great hunting team!

——
I’m so proud of Matt & Astral!! It super sucks that they didn’t have any birds where they were, but I’m soooo proud that she successfully tracked and flushed birds! She gained confidence over the weekend with running through thick brush, she never ran away in the big open spaces, and she definitely understood her job! She also had her first successful time away from mommy and siblings! I was worried about that, but Matt took great care of her! Astral had a blast with her two new doggie friends! I know Matt now has new homework with her and we all count this as a successful hunting trip due to all the lessons learned! The most important part is she’s not gun shy, at all! It’s only up from here!! We love you, Astral!!

Matt & Astral Update Today:
Astral did great tonight!! She was the only dog tonight. She went right into the field, which was native grass, and no leash needed. She had a track going and the pheasant jumped way ahead of us, out of gun range. I am so proud of her!!! She was on him. Still no birds shot! It is so annoying that they are staying in corn or deep in sunflower fields which is near impossible to get to.

So she’s doing great!! I’m so proud of them!! She’s making progress each day! So exciting!

Team Pfeiferstein is having a different type of working day!

In Minnesota, Zhara and Ignita spent the afternoon working on their sheep herding skills with a private lesson with Shantel in Foley!

Meanwhile, in North Dakota, Astral is with Matt on her first pheasant hunting trip! She’s doing excellent and building confidence with every new field she walks through, adjusting to the tall and challenging brush!

Our dogs all have a very fulfilling life, and are so dearly loved! They want for nothing! Each one gets the special attention they deserve and desire, while we work hard to make sure they have activities they enjoy! Having 7 dogs is not for the faint of heart, but it’s also something that’s completely manageable for us! The minis and old man Sterling spent the day at home catching up on nap time!! We love them all dearly!!!

Today we also ventured to an AKC agility trial!

Emry was a rockstar, and earned her Novice Jumping with Weaves title!! I’m so incredibly proud of her!! She’s come so far!!!

Ignita & Astral debuted with training in the ring, and did amazing! I’m so proud of them!!

10/18/2026

Astral had her first real-life hunting experience with my husband at a Game Farm, and exceeded expectations!! She tracked, flushed, recalled, and was steady under fire! All the makings of a fabulous bird dog!! As she continues to understand the game, she’ll finish the puzzle by adding her retrieves! Overall, she did absolutely amazing and we are so proud of her!!

Zhara is in season! She came in 5.5 months from her last cycle. If she holds true to this, we will have a breeding in December and puppies by February with go home end of April 2027. A repeat of the same dates as the last litter but a different stud.

The stud has been picked. We’re going the route of frozen this time. Expecting an extremely athletic, hard working, driven litter who are not only conformationally correct with lovely temperaments and hard jackets but also easy going companions with off switches.

It will be a very exciting mix of lines and I look forward to seeing their future! The stud will be announced once pregnancy is confirmed in the winter.

If you would like to get on the waitlist for this all natural (ears, tails, dewclaws) American Bred litter, please fill out an application. We do not take deposits and rank picks based on what puppy temperaments are once they are evaluated. No puppy is promised, as the fit must be right for the puppy and the family.
