Valhalla Labrador Retrievers

12/24/2024

A very good ending to the pheasant season and the "A-Team" has a new member. Great job Scarlett, Georgia, Mystic, Bossi and Jazz. Bossi (GCH CH Valhalla's Bossa Nova JH) was added to the team beginning last week; she helped us get 18 birds in three outings. Here was today's haul for 5 of us hunting!

And the process begins for another time....for those who don't recognize this, we are working on the HOLD command; part of a Force Fetch or Conditioned Trained Retrieve program. This will make sure that Token fully grasps the concept of what HOLD means.

What a year our Bossi has had...in June she finished her AKC Junior Hunter title, in July she became an AKC Champion and in November she earned her AKC Grand Champion title. She turned 19 months old two days before earning her Grand. We couldn't be more proud of this girl! GCH CH Valhalla's Bossa Nova JH

We are very proud of these two! Helix is from our last litter, Nova x Jazz and he's only 16 months old!

Well, sir, that's a lot of polyester you have there!
Helix has one HELL of a Friendship show cluster, earning 165 Owner Handler points, 5 points towards his Bronze Grand Championship, and earning along the way:
3 Best of Breeds
1 Select
2 Owner Handler Group 1's
1 Owner Handler Group 3
1 Regular Group 4
and an Owner Handler Reserve Best in Show!!!!!!
This rockets Helix to #4 in National Owner Handler Series rankings, and has put him almost halfway to his Bronze Grand Championship in less than 2 months of showing.
I cannot thank enough all the judges who recognized Helix this weekend. You done good, kid!
Many thanks to Joseph Vasalani and Debbie Vasalani for sharing Helix with us. To think, it all started with a 3 week old puppy asleep in Wyatt's lap!

This is something different....Joe and Deb got mail! For finishing Bossi's AKC Championship entirely from the Bred-By Exhibitor class, we each received an AKC-Breeder-Owner Champion medallion!

Bossi and Token got mail!

Sharing this post for a friend, who had this litter. We bred both the parents, Wraith and Nova and look forward to seeing how these guys turn out. If you are looking for a male, please contact her directly.

A better dog show weekend might be hard to find...from the Regatta Classic shows in Madison, Ohio...on the left is new Grand Champion "Helix" (GCH CH Valhalla's Downward Spiral To Rebellion JH). owned with Wyatt Herschell and Cheri Herschell Helix was Best of Breed on Friday to finish his GCH. He was in the ribbons the other three days with a BOS and 2 Select Dogs. (3 of those were majors) Helix also reached the Bronze level of 100 points in the NOHS. Not to be outdone, his littermate Bossi took Best of Breed over Specials on Thursday and then was Winners, Best of Winners and Best of Opposite S*x today. With those wins she completed her Champion title and is now CH Valhalla's Bossa Nova JH (pending AKC approval). These two have accomplished so much already; it's hard to realize they are still only 14 months old. Bossi is also the first of our dogs to complete her Championship earning all her points from the Bred By Exhibitor class!
