place Christopher Long with Rumble April 15, 2013 NMESSC will move their trial to the Owatonna area, the
grounds to be determined early this week. Looking at the Tom Sexter grounds where the St Croix Trial was held two
weeks ago. Due to the snow cover up here and more snow expected plus
some melting and icy rain, the grounds would cause hazardous conditions for
the dogs causing cut paws, cut forelegs and unsafe conditions for the guns
and handlers. Therefore we will move
the trial. Headquarters hotel will be the Microtel Inn and Suites 150 St.
John's Drive, Owatonna, MN 55060 Phone
507-446-0228. A block of rooms is
reserved for the trial. Call by Thursday to reserve one. Same special rates. Because of this change, we will allow anyone to scratch
their entry for a full refund if they so choose. Any questions call Mark or Sophie at 218 829-4736 or 218
821 1205. April 10, 2013 JP Martin had to make a major decision yesterday in sending
his little dog Secret to the
angels. She was only 8 but quite full of cancer. Secret spent the last two years of her life working with Linda as
the main therapy dog in reducing the pain level for Linda and extending
Linda's life well past expectations. Secret was able to
follow in the footsteps of her mentor, Kat,
learning the phenomenal trade of a therapy dog. Reliving the pain for Linda
the past year finally took its toll on Secret.
Please remember JP in your thoughts and prayers. Give him
an extra hug each time you see him. April 10, 2013
He remained
sympathetic to the British until 1820, when an abortive expedition against
Fort Snelling resulted in his pledging his total support to the United
States. A dominant chief of
the Sioux tribe, Waneta signed a trade treaty with
the Americans on 25 July 1825. On 17 August 1825 he signed the first Treaty
of Prairie du Chien which fixed the boundaries of
Sioux territory. (thanks WIKI) April 8, 2013
Our thanks to the St. Croix Valley and Minnesota Heartland
Springer Spaniel Clubs for their very well run trials this past weekend.
Congrats to all participants and especially to the placements. Matt Johnson’s Diesel
was handled by Morgan to a third place ribbon in the St. Croix Trial while
Mark handled Teri Mayer’s Zell to
third place in the Heartland Trial. This week Morgan and his crew are preparing for the
Minnesota ESS Club’s trial which will be held near Owatonna. At Daybreak Mark
has the experts working on plumbing and heating for the Loft for a couple of
days and then he will be back getting ready for the trial. Our NMESSC trial is coming soon, entries need to be in to
Pine Shadows by Wednesday of this week. March 26, 2013 Morgan and crew return from their central US tour for a
couple days before heading to Friday’s Central Wisconsin trial. All dogs
performed well, usually finishing the second series with some called back to
the final.
Morgan led Paul Johannes’ Silence, a future star, to a couple of placements in the Puppy
Stakes. He also handled JP Martin’s Neala to a third place in the Nebraska Open Stakes and
Ryan and Jennifer Lamberg’s Gromit to the Blue Ribbon in
the Missouri Open! Congratulations! March 20, 2013
The
Loft is coming together as Ross and I work on ceiling joists today. |

February 17, 2013 A wonderful weekend at Pheasant Fest! We are visiting with sporting folks who
are brimming with enthusiasm. Nice to
see so many of our springer owners, some going back to the early 80’s!
Morgan’s
children were here on Friday. They were in the Bird Dog Parade leading Apples and Higgins, opening the event. See them on stage introduced by our
friends Minnesota Bound’s Bill Sherck and Purina’s
Bob West. Deb Schoene
and her dog Swing also represented
English Springer Spaniels. Then
they each carved and painted a duck decoy, made fishing lures, and other
activities in the Children’s Village. Of course, they visited with the many
people who asking about our springers. Working
our booth were Turner, Wallace, Gromit, Boston, Misty, Butter, Pelli,
Hadley, Pilot, Apples, and Higgins. February 10, 2013
Noelle Mortensen sent a couple of
photos and a note, “Dan wanted me to show this to
you also. It is Tuxedo's first big
boy hunting trip last November with his Daddy. So proud. Good job Morgan!” Tuxy is back for another visit with
Morgan. It’s always a joy to see these
dogs succeed. You can see Morgan at Pheasant Fest later this week. Ask him for advice, schedule an appointment
for you and your gun dog, sign up for training or just talk dogs and
hunting! February 5, 2013

January 14, 2013 The Barn
at Daybreak project continues. With much of the downstairs completed we are
beginning the Loft. Closed cell foam
insulation was applied last week and the renewal of the fir floor has started
this week. Look for walls rising by the end of the month.
Saturday
training is up to speed, join us at Brainerd. We are gathering the
gear necessary for our Pheasant Fest exhibits, Feb 15-17 in Minneapolis. If you and/or your
children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, etc. wish to hunt pheasants
your support is needed by Pheasants Forever. January 10, 2013 Saturday
training has begun in 2013. We had a nice turnout with a busy morning; it was
12:30 or later when we had lunch. Mark, Morgan, and Joannie helped handlers
in the field while Sophie lead an obedience class, showed several dogs, and
guided a couple of families who were taking their new family members home for
the first time. This will be repeated each Saturday until trial season gets
going. Come on out. All breeds of gun dogs and handlers are welcome.
Mark your
calendars with the date of Pheasant Fest, February 15-17, being conducted at
the Minneapolis Convention Center. Pine Shadows will be there with springers
all three days. January 2, 2013 How did
you bring in the New Year? Morgan and
Grant held a chukar hunt for their kids and nephews-
the Andres boys on Tuesday afternoon.
All had a great time including all the lucky dogs that were used in
the hunt! Thank you’s
to Grandpas Andres and Haglin.
We are
looking forward to the first Saturday of winter/spring training. All breeds
of gundogs and handlers are welcome to participate and/or observe as we begin
around 8:30 every Saturday until the Midwest trial season begins. The hobo
fire will be burning; snacks are both available and welcome. Around noon we
recap the morning with a pot luck lunch (inside the kennel building). January 1, 2013 Just received a nice note
and photos from Divot and his
owner/operator Ron Doty. We look forward to seeing them again this
winter.
Sophie, Morgan and I wish
you a most Happy New Year! December 30, 2012

Gramith family sent some great hunting pictures of

I
had some spare time this afternoon and went to your website and wanted to say
hi and hope all is well at Pine Shadows. We brought Brady home in I believe January 2006 from Pine Shadows. I think
you even had his picture on the website. He has been a great dog both in the
field and the duck blind and is in good health. Attached
is a photo of our son Travis and Brady
with a goose he retrieved on our last waterfowl hunt this season. This goose
gave him all he wanted. All the best to everyone and have a safe and happy
New Year. Randy,
Vicki Mast and Pine Shadows Brady Boy December 25, 2012
Merry Christmas! December 24, 2012
Happy
holidays to you and your family. Cricket is doing fine and enjoys
his life on Maui. thanks,
Gary
Izzy and Pounder enjoy a
hunting day with owner/operator Tom Thompson near Mankato. December 17, 2012 Hi Mark & Sophie,
Troy and I wanted to send
you an update on Griffin. Griffin
is growing fast and already weighs 29 pounds. We started some basic
training with him and he is doing great! He loves to run and loves the
snow. We have attached a picture below. Thank you for providing us
with a wonderful English Springer! Sincerely, Molly & Troy McConachie |
