Branka amazed us with her natural talent starting with when she pointed and retrieved her first wild pheasant at four months of age. She passed her NAVHDA Natural Ability AND the Utility Preparatory Test before she was 11 months old! As soon as she goes into the water she is off searching for ducks. She is very calm and cooperative in the field and in our home. She has a lot of drive and stamina in the field with a staunch point and a natural desire to retrieve. There were only two pups born from our "B" litter so Branka and Pam have formed a very special bond. Branka looks a lot like her sire, the German male, Iros vom Kiefernwalde. She has been a very easy dog to train because of her inherited hunting skills and her strong desire to please us.

Training 2017

Branka won a SMCNA and NAVHDA Breeders Award for her first litter, Robingun's "F" litter, before the pups were 10 months old. Her second litter in 2016 produced only two pups due to damage to her uterus from her first litter. We will try to breed her one more time in 2017 and then she will most likely have to be spayed. It will be very disappointing to lose her from our breeding program at such a young age but we are thankful we have her daughter, Tevah, to carry on Branka's wonderful temperament and her outstanding line of genetics.
