Statesman's Faithful Waters has been busy with dog shows again this year. He is shown playing while at home.

Statesman's Red Silks is shown at her farm. Thank you, Ali, for this photo.

Bobby (the bigger boy with more hair, and Marcus, the smaller boy, have been happy to play in their own yard.

The girls are limited to the small yard as long as Journey remains in heat. They still get to enjoy fence running with the boys. Bader has more white and is a bit smaller than Journey who has more red markings. FENCE RUNNING

When Statesman moved from Illinois to Georgia it was planned to have two fenced yards with two entrances. This works very well when a female is in heat and needs to remain separated from the boys. These videos show the boys in the big yard with the girls in the small yard. The boys, Marcus and Bobby, are on the left, with the girls, Bader and Journey, on the right. They all get some good exercising done with the fence running.

Statesman's Just Imagine "Journey" was bred today to WyldWynd's In The Company of Masters "Bobby". She will have an ultrasound in four weeks to determine if she is pregnant or not. If she is pregnant the litter will be due around February 27th. Journey is below after the breeding.

Coco is from the "Red" litter sired by Statesman's Sea Captain at Redstone out of Statesman's Summer Silks born in October of 2017. Thank you, Ali, for these photos of Coco on the drive home after playing in the snow and then resting on the chair near the Christmas tree.

The dogs in these videos: Journey (Statesman's Just Imagine at 12 months), Bader (Statesman's Genuine Risk at 7 months), and Marcus (Rocksprings Mighty Statesman at 6 months). It never gets old watching the dogs interact. Sometimes they just play together...sometimes they dig together...sometimes they have group retrieves...sometimes they do their own thing!

Bader, Marcus and Journey are enjoying the sunshine while playing in the back yard.

Reggie, GCH Hartsage King Saturn, has been shown at Florida dog shows recently and twice won Best of Breed. Thank you, Eric, for this photos.

Gracee is doing very well in her new home. She enjoys playing with the "grandkids" at the park. Thank you, Benbow Family, for this video.

Statesman's Too Good To Be True (Statesman's River Knight x Statesman's Ferencz) did a great job finding the birds! He is pictured with his field spaniel hunting buddy. Thank you, Gregory Family, for this photo.

Ch. Statesman's NoDouble (Kazval Call Collect x Rwyn Heavens Alliant) from the October 2004 "N RACEHORSE" litter loved field training as shown in this photo from 2007. Besides being a champion and started in the field, he loved being a reading therapy dog at a local school. Thank you, Commiskey Family, for this photo.

Today was Marcus's second time doing field work with quail. Today he quartered with enthusiuasm from side to side just in front of his handler. A quail was then tossed in front him and he retrieved it back to his handler. Plans for future training dates are being arranged. Thank you, Henthorn Family, for this photo.

It's been cold and rainy in Georgia, but not cold enough to snow. The three pups are still happy checking out the yard.

Statesman's Goodness Gracious absolutely LOVES the snow. Thank you, Benbow Family, for this video.

Stella (Braith's Whimsical Star) and Bader (Statesman's Genuine Risk) are the two puppies from the May 2025 litter of Statesman's Amicus to Statesman's Bold Venture. Stella (top) has been attending training classes while Bader (bottom) has started doing bird/field work.

Welsh springers shown hunting pheasant in a South Dakota field. Being in nature...watching the dogs do what they love...a very good memory.

Koko just turned five years old. She is from the "F" litter sired by Statesman's Let It Be out of Statesman's Goldikova. Thank you, Rowland Family, for this photo.

Statesman's Faithful Waters (Statesman Let It Be x Statesman's Goldikova) has had a very successful fall season in the show ring with multiple owner-handled-group placements as well as some regular sporting group placements. Thank you, Blanchard Family for this photo.
