Ch Meriwood s Sylvie Sea Silversmith, SH (Ch. Pikes Peak Silversmith Summit, MH NRD SDX VX BROM X GCh Meriwood s Santee Shell Silversmith, MH NRD NSD V BROM ) Health clearances pending Sylvie was named by his 10 yr owner, Drew, who loves to attend the Sylvan Learning Center. He was a beautiful, striking puppy and won most of his show points from puppy class. At only 11 yrs old, Drew learned to handle Sylvie in the field and earned his Junior Hunter title. So Sylvie graduated to Rick Hopkins for breaking. Although young at the time, Sylvie flourished with training and earned his Senior Hunter title. Currently working on his Grand Ch this spring, Sylvie already has several BOB wins and a group placement. He will go to Janie Bristow this fall to train for his Master Hunter title, becoming a 4th generation of CH/MHs from our dogs.

Smokey Topaz Gray Hawk, MH NRD CD NA VX BROM FROM X Ch Silversmith Blosser Evolution, MH SDX NRD VX BROM FROM OFA Excellent Wrigley is a dream come true for us. She is not only beautiful but also dynamite in the field. Wrigley finished her JH owner handled and later went to trainer/handler Rick Hopkins where she whipped through SH with ease and went directly into Master which was also a breeze for her. Wrigley placed in her large futurity class & had won several single show points. So, at age 6 we decided that Wrigley should finish her Championship which she did in short order owner handled. This year, at age 7 Wrigley is heading towards finishing her Grand Ch. In addition, she will be doing barn hunt, rally, obedience, and anything else that comes along that we think might be fun for her. She is also an awesome family dog.

Silversmith Catch Of The Day, MH NRD NSD NAVHDA UTIII CGC CA VX BROM Pennhip.26/.21 OFA thyroid & elbows Normal Ruger was a very busy puppy.

GCh. Silversmith Prince Of Shadows, JH RDX NSD BN VX (Ch. Smokey Topaz Gray Hawk, MH CD NRD BA VX BROM FROM x Ch. Silversmith Blosser Evolution, MH NRD SDX VX BROM FROM Rajah has incredible drive, a huge passion to work, and tries hard to do anything asked of him. He finished his championship with 4 majors, 3 handled by his novice owner, then flew through his GCh. He is absolutely bird crazy and finished his JH title early on. In 3 consecutive retrieving ratings, he earned his NRD, RD, and RXD. He loves the water, and anything that involves hunting, running, jumping, retrieving, tracking, treats. You will rarely see this boy without something being carried in his mouth. Rajah earned 2nd place in 2 of his 3 qualifying scores for Beginner Novice obedience. A very prominent obedience judge/ instructor said he showed moments of brilliance (he doesn t just heel, he prances). He is currently working with his novice owner on higher obedience, tracking, and will be starting his senior hunter training this fall plus agility if we can squeeze it in. At the end of the day he is a perfect house dog, wanting nothing more than to nook on his fleece ball in your lap. Owner: Nicole Rothen, Charleston, SC Breeders: Merry Woodham & Elena Lamberson
Ch Meriwood s TopSea Turvey Silversmith, CA (Ch. Pikes Peak Silversmith Summit, MH NRD SDX VX BROM X GCh Meriwood s Santee Shell Silversmith, MH NRD NSD V BROM) Health clearances pending Turvey started her show career with Best In Show Puppy at the age of 5 months and Best In Sweepstakes at 11 months. She is wild and crazy at times because she'd rather run the fields hunting birds than be trotting around in the show ring. Lure coursing was fun for her and kept her prey drive high until she finished her Championship. She is now in training at what she loves best hunting and retrieving birds. Turvey has strong prey drive and pointing is natural for her. We are skipping Junior Hunter and training at the Senior level. She won't be stopping there, Master Hunter is in her genes and in her future. Between Senior & Master, she will finish her Grand Champion title in the ring and then move on to other fun venues.
