Flint Ridge Kennels

Did a little yard work with some birds this morning. Time to get to training some dogs for the upcoming season. Stone on the left and Ranger on the right. These two just happen to be CH and RU CH of the Region 8 Walking Shooting Dog Championship held this past spring at Croton Creek.

For those that remember, our Field Bred English Cockers, Lady Bug and Parker had a litter of puppies about a year ago. Through no fault of his own, we have got one of the males, a liver roan male, back to our kennel. He has been raised in a house but has spent a little time in our kennels. He is a sweet boy and needs a new home. He is a sturdy built dog that needs a loving home. He would make someone a great house dog or a great field dog. Either way, he needs room to run and play. I will get some pictures of him and if anyone is interested in him, PM me.

We are looking for a Pointer that is of derby age to run in walking derby stakes this next field trial season. We will be running in many walking shooting dog Championships this next season and I would like a derby capable of winning the companion derby stakes. I am not in a hurry and can wait till end of summer camp season for the right dog.

We are looking for a walking shooting dog derby to run the 2025-2026 season. This dog must be superior in all ways. Biddable, excellent nose, forward running with a true shooting dog range is a must. We will be running this dog in companion derby stakes that are held in conjunction with walking shooting dog championships. If anyone has such a dog available now or after summer camp, please let me know. I have no preference as to male or female. A dog showing the traits I am looking for is more important than pedigree.

We are thinking about a breeding here at Flint Ridge Kennels. Our good friend has a really nice shooting dog that has won the following: 2023 NBHA National Derby Championship, 2024 NBHA National Open Championship, 2025 National Open Championship, 2025 RU National AFTCA Walking Championship, 2025 ABHA Central Region Championship, 2025 AFTCA Region 5 Horseback Shooting Championship. Robert is an outstanding shooting dog and is also an exceptional dog to hunt behind.

Our female is Flint Ridge Oakley. She is a direct daughter of one of the most winning shooting dogs of all time, Chelsea's Thunder Bolt. Her dam, Babe of Flint Ridge, was out of Elhew royalty, ie. Elhew Swami, Elhew Hannabell, Elhew Sinbad and another HOF dog, Rock Acre Blackhawk. I believe that Oakley would have had some kind of Championship placement this year had it not been for her handler (me)!

Take a look at what the pedigree will be for these puppies. I think they will have great potential as field trial dogs or hunting dogs.

One of the best dogs to ever come out of Flint Ridge Kennels passed away yesterday. Flint Ridge Clyde was an amazing dog. He spent most of his life with two really good bird dog men, hunting quail in Texas. He was a big dog with a tail that was so long that it was hard to miss him when he was pointing birds. Clyde was 11.
