GOODGOING TOMMY &
GOODGOING BECKY
LITTER 

This is another exciting litter by Tommy.  He is crossing very well with daughters of GGI Louie, like Becky and Holly.  Becky is quickly earning a good reputation as a producer.  This litter is an active bunch and they are very friendly. They are developing well and are enjoying their daily play time.  This is a very attractive litter with great markings and they are very stylish.  They will be great prospects for the 2008 hunting season.                                                                                                                                   

GOODGOING TOMMY

GOODGOING TOMMY is almost an exact replica of his father, GOODGOING TOMOKA.  It amazes me how similar they are in the areas of physical appearance and general behaviors.   We are excited about Tommy’s potential as a sire.  He is a great bird finder and very natural at pointing and retrieving.  His natural ability and personality have made him a joy to train.    

GOODGOING TOMOKA was a prominent sire in our breeding program through most of the 1990’s and early 2000’s.  CH TOMOKA has had as much influence in shaping the future of the English Setter breed as any other dog in history.  Tomoka's ability to win was seen throughout the Shooting Dog trial world.  His ability to produce winners was seen throughout all arenas, including fine gun dogs, Shoot-To-Retrieve Trials and Shooting Dog Championships.  5xNATIONAL SHOOT TO RETRIEVE CH LIGHTFOOT DUKE, has 2 crosses to the great producer I'M OSCAR.          

MAX’S MISS UNDERSTOOD (Jane) has a strong desire and great bird sense.  She is of nice size and very stylish.  She has proven herself as a producer, with two very nice litters, by GGI Tomoka and GGI Brannigan.  MAX and MAX JR. have both earned reputations as solid winning bird dogs and solid producers.  Both have sired many great winners.  SOUTHWIN MIKE has picked up the winning ways of his father 9xCH Hick’s Rising Sun.      

GOODGOING BECKY

GOODGOING BECKY is an exciting young prospect by Louie and Annie.  Both of these dogs have proven to be great producers over the several litters they have each had.  We are looking forward to Becky following in her mother footsteps and becoming one of our next top dams.  She has already had a very nice litter with GGI Leo and more recently a litter by GGI Tommy, which we are very excited about.  Becky has a strong and athletic build.  She combines a tenacious desire to hunt and find birds with the sweetest personality.       

GOODGOING LOUIE has been a great addition to our breeding program. He has a top-flight pedigree, while possessing a warm personality and an easy handling style. His litters are looking very nice in the way of personality and natural ability and it is even more exciting to see how well they are developing into fine young bird dogs.  

HAMILTON’S BLUE DIAMOND was named winner of the ’97 Bill Colin Setter S.D. Derby Award and the ’97 Elwin G. Smith S.D. Award. In 1998 he again won the Elwin G. Smith S.D. Award, along with the Top Shooting Dog Award. He has also sired many great setters, including the Smith Setter, 2xCH High Mark.  

HICKS RISING SUN won the John S. O’Neall Sr., English Setter Award in 1994 and 1996. His brother CH Skidrow Joe won it in 1993 and his half brother CH Desert Rambler in 1995. HICKS RISING SUN enjoyed a lifetime of winning major trials. It began when he was a year old with many Derby wins and placements, through winning his last Championship at age 10. In 1999 he was inducted into the Field Trial Hall of Fame.  SOUTHWIN MIKE was twice winner of the International Pheasant Championship (1994 and 1995).  

GOODGOING ANNIE is very stylish while quartered on point.  She works hard, yet is sensible and is easy to handle.  She has a tremendous personality.  Annie also consistently puts these same attributes into her pups.  They have great desire to work, yet are sensible and enjoy being around people.  Her pedigree is made up of many great grouse champions.  

BEEN’S GREAT DAY placed 2^nd in the 1996 Grand National Grouse Futurity, along with his brother Erico, who placed 3^rd.  GROUSE RIDGE BEEN has produced many great dogs, including 2xCH True Citizen and 3xCH Grouse Ridge Storm (Nat. Grouse Champion).
