| Bluebell Slugger or
ROCKET to those that knew him as a youngster before Dom
Preite acquired him from his breeder and developer Steve
Henrikson, was a superb youngster. He was special from the
very beginning. Taking notice as a puppy, he always was into
birds, running and hunting the front, finding covies of
native Delmarva Bobwhites in every outing. Even though he
had 22 field trial placements, his major contribution came
as a stud dog ESPECIALLY when crossed onto a pair of Grouse
Ridge bitches. Even though bred sparingly he managed to
produce CH Smokescreen and CH Bluebell Jackie. Smokescreen
was a sterling bitch whose career was cut short but not
before she produced CH Gridiron. Jackie's illustrous career
as a winner is complemented by her own contribution of CH
Stone Tavern Matrix. And so, ROCKET proved himself not only
to look like his forbearer
Flaming Star but also a GREAT
producer of pre-potent bitches. |
