Successful weekend at WT Menin 10.-11.5.2025

5/18/2025

 
Picture
What an incredible weekend at the Working Test in the beautiful pheasantry of Menin!
We’re beyond proud of the results of Duckmoors' dogs achieved:

Duckmoors Autumn Tumble "Tango" with Anna had a phenomenal run!

On Saturday, they started strong in M class with two 20s, but unfortunately picked up a zero on one of the exercises. However, they didn’t let that bring them down. On Sunday, facing much tougher tasks, they came back stronger and won the M class 🥇 with an excellent score of 76/80 (20/17/19/20)!

And that’s not all -- In a last-minute decision, they entered the Open class as well, and what a debut it was! - 3rd place 🥉 with an impressive 74/80 (20/18/20/16), also marked as excellent.
Huge congratulations to Anna & Tango! 💪🏆

Duckmoors Call Me Neema ran in E class and finished 6th with 67/80 (very good - 16/20/12/19).
A solid performance, though one task cost us some valuable points – we’ll be sharper next time!

Duckmoors Dreamcatcher "Toby" unfortunately scored a silly zero this time — but that’s how the game goes. He’ll be back stronger!

A special shout-out to Watchful Eye Golden Gaj "Haker", Tango’s son (Toffee's grandson), who placed 3rd in M class on Saturday with 72/80 points (17/15/20/20). Congratulations to his team – we're so proud to see Tango's legacy shining through!

All in all, a weekend full of learning, progress, and joy. Congratulations to everyone who participated and thank you to the organizers and judges for a great event!

Duckmoors gang on Working Test Melnik CZ 26.4.2025

4/28/2025

 
Picture
After some recent bad luck at our last working test (one silly zero), this weekend brought a bit more luck and better results!
Another long trip behind us, but so worth it.

At the Working Test in Melník/CZ, organized by Retriever Sport CZ and judged by Ian Lohoar and Graham Wilson (UK), in the E class with 27 starters:



Duckmoors Call Me Neema “Neema”
(FTW Loveloch Valentino x Kaliture Toffee Crisp)
1st place excellent 20/20/20/18 (lost 2 points because I was “sleeping” and didn’t use the whistle at the right time — sorry, Neema!)

Duckmoors Dreamcatcher “Toby”
(Moscargrange Dappa x Duckmoors All That Jazz)
2nd place excellent - just 1 point behind Neema!
Congratulations Eva & Toby! Hard work really pays off!

In the afternoon, after a very long wait for the V class (unfortunately we couldn’t leave the seniors in the car to rest because it was too hot), they had to spend hours waiting for their class, staying on the leash and walking around with the youngsters.
This completely drained Finn, and he sadly finished with one zero. Anyway, with our veterans, it’s all about giving them a good time and letting them feel they are still important to us.
On the end, only one veteran survived:
Kaliture Toffee Crisp (Neema’s mom and Toby’s grandma)
1st place – not high scores, but she gave it her all, pity making blinds from marks , but being handled with enthusiasm! She refused to give up, especially on the last test.
Thank you to the organizers for nice event and judges for the nice exercises, fair but strict judging.
Special thanks to my daughter who stayed at home and took care of the rest of the dogs, so I was able to travel for extra days!
Another adventure and memories to treasure!

Duckmoors Bright Skye "Cita" successfully passed the test with 92 out of 100 points! 🐾👏

Eyes testing 2024 & Toby's X-rays

10/15/2024

 
PictureDuckmoors Dreamcatcher "Toby" 1 year old
We are happy to share some great news about the Duckmoors family! Yesterday, five of our pack members underwent their annual eye exams and we are happy to report that everyone's eyes are unaffected including gonio (PLA) - even our senior stars!

FTAW Kaliture Finn "Finn" -  11,5 years old
I’m super happy for my old boy, Finn. Passing his eye test is quite important for him, so he can still fully work on shoots and mark all the game. I don’t take this for granted, as my previous seniors suffered from cataracts in old age, which affected their ability to work even though their legs were still fit.

Kaliture Toffee Crisp "Toffee" – 8,5 years old
After retiring from breeding, Toffee can now fully enjoy her retirement and continue working as much as possible. She’s still going strong!

Duckmoors All That Jazz "Jazzie" – 5,5 years old
Jazzie has been fully tested recently - full blood check, thyroid check, and eye exam - with excellent results. We’ve decided to breed her now and have chosen a UK stud. We’ll be traveling as soon as she’s in season (October-November)

Duckmoors Call Me Neema "Neema" – 1,5 years old
This was Neema's first eye test, and we’re hopeful she’ll continue with good results in the coming years!

Duckmoors Dreamcatcher
 "Toby" – 1 year old
This was also Toby’s first eye test, and we are happy with the results, even more that he had his X-rays done too, and the results are super:
    * Hips: B
    * Elbows: 0/0
    * OCD shoulders: unaffected
    * Spine: all clear (No vertebral anomalies, Lumbosacral Transitional Vertebra, or Spondylosis)


Toby is now ready to fully start his training, and we’re hopeful he’ll join us on some picking-up days soon. He’s already showing excellent skills in his work and looks to be a very promising boy with lovely character!

We couldn’t be prouder of our gang, and we look forward to keeping them happy, healthy, and doing what they love!

According to her owner, it was a tough competition with demanding tasks, but Cita gave it her all. The English judge was fair, friendly, and set some excellent tasks, Despite the challenges, Cita stayed focused and delivered another nice performance!

Huge congratulations to Cita and a big thank you to Waltraud for your dedication and hard work!

The last puppy from our E litter you know already - Wookie

8/29/2024

 
Picture
And last but certainly not least, let me introduce you to the puppy who captured everyone's hearts and ended up staying with us - Wookie! From the beginning, I said she wouldn’t stay, but everyone around us loved her and insisted she should be part of our family. So, we did!
Wookie has her pros and cons, like every dog does, I’m not wearing pink glasses when judging my dogs. Only time will show us what we can achieve together. Today, she turns 7 months old, just like the rest of the litter.
Wookie has already joined us on a few short holidays, proving to be an amazing travel buddy. She absolutely loves the car and exploring new places. All the dogs here love her to bits, and she’s easily recognizable as our puppy with the white star on top of her head.
Life has been busy lately, and with the scorching summer in our area, we’ve been spending as much time as possible by the lake or river. Wookie is an absolute water freak, just like all her siblings.

Introducing our red girl from the E Litter - Smila

8/29/2024

 
Now it's time to introduce a girl who stayed with us the longest and brought up so many questions in my mind. Even now, I still feel like a part of me went with her, and writing about her brings tears to my eyes. But this is the life of a breeder - we can’t keep them all, and we have to make tough decisions. Whether we made the right one or not, only time will tell.
Meet Duckmoors Enchanted Ava, now called Smila. She has moved far from us, but she’s in good company, living in the same town as the Culham gang in Germany, so she’ll still get to meet her family there.
Marion & Jürgen, thank you for taking care of her. Wishing you a beautiful life together with Smila!

Introducing our purple girl from the E Litter - Ayla

8/29/2024

Say hello to Duckmoors Everyday Moonlight, affectionately known as Ayla! This lovely girl is living her 5-star life in a beautiful part of Czechia with her owner, Tereza.

I’m sure Ayla has many exciting adventures ahead, and she’s already proving to be the best travel buddy—these two have already spent some time in Spain together!

Girls, I wish you lots of fun, success in training, and many beautiful adventures ahead!

Introducing our pink girl from the E Litter - Nala

8/29/2024

 
Meet Duckmoors Everlasting Meadows, lovingly called Nala. This sweet girl has found her forever home in Hungary, where she’s not the only dog in the house! Nala is already showing her golden retriever friend who's the new boss around here.

Nala is being trained as a gundog, and I’m excited to see her in action at future working tests. A big thank you to Ildikó for providing such a loving home for Nala.

Wishing you lots of success and happiness with her!

Introducing our brown boy from the E Litter - Monte

8/29/2024

 
Picture
Say hello to Duckmoors Eager Beaver, also known as Monte! This charming brown boy is living his best life here in Slovakia with my friend Denisa and his four-legged buddy, Sunny.

Originally, Monte wasn’t planned to stay in Slovakia, and Denisa was supposed to have a girl, but fate had other plans. We couldn’t be happier that Monte ended up with Denisa!


Thank you, Denisa, for taking such great care of Monte. I hope his training goes smoothly, and I look forward to seeing you both at working tests and picking up days in the future!

Introducing blue boy from the E litter - Shadow

8/29/2024

 
Meet Duckmoors Eternal Shadow, affectionately known as Shadow. This handsome boy from our E litter has found his perfect 5-star forever home in Czechia with our dear friends, Tereza and Pavel.

Shadow is settling in wonderfully, and it’s clear he’s in the best hands. A huge thank you to Tereza and Pavel for giving Shadow such an amazing life.

Wishing you all good luck, much success, and many healthy years together!

Time flies! Our last litter is already 7 months old

8/29/2024

 
Picture
Finally, I’ve found some time to update the website and I can't believe how quickly time has passed! Our last litter is already 7 months old, so it's about time I introduce them to you all.
First up is our turquoise boy, who has found his forever home in the beautiful part of Austria. Meet Duckmoors Evening Echo, aka Jazero. In slovak, "Jazero" means "lake," which is a fitting name since he’s living right by one!
Jazero is thriving in his new home with another four-legged buddy, and it’s heartwarming to see him so happy. A huge thank you to Bianca for taking such wonderful care of him. Wishing you both endless fun and joy in the years ahead!

Celebrating Cooper’s Excellent Health results

8/23/2024

I’m thrilled to share some wonderful news about Cooper - Duckmoors Brave Skaterboy.  Today was an exciting and nerve-wracking day for Angie as she bravely scheduled an appointment with the highly recommended veterinarian Dr. Wallner in St. Pölten. This appointment was no ordinary vet visit—it was a thorough examination involving X-rays for HD (hip dysplasia), ED (elbow dysplasia), and OCD (osteochondritis dissecans).
Despite initial anxieties, Angie and her boyfriend made the long journey to St. Pölten with Cooper, and their efforts were rewarded with nothing but good news. Dr. Wagner, known for his detailed and patient approach, explained every step of the process, ensuring Angie was present and informed throughout the examination.
The results are in, and they couldn’t be better:
  • HD: A/A
  • ED: 0/0
  • OCD shoulders: unaffected
These results confirm that Cooper is in excellent health, with perfect joints and overall great muscle development. Dr. Wallner was particularly impressed with Cooper’s condition, noting that it’s rare to see a dog at three years old with such impeccable health. He even took the time to ask about Duckmoors, expressing admiration for our breeding program and acknowledging the high standards that have produced such a fantastic Golden Retriever.

Thank you, Angie, for your trust and commitment to Cooper’s health and happiness. Your journey together continues to inspire, and I’m thrilled to see Cooper thriving in every aspect of his life.
My heartfelt congratulations!

Cooper and Cita's First Real Rescue Dog Operation

7/25/2024

 
Picture
Today marks an incredible milestone for two of Duckmoors exceptional pups, Cooper and Cita! They embarked on their first real rescue dog operation in Austria, and I couldn’t be prouder of their bravery and skills in the field.
Their owners shared the exciting news, along with some heartwarming pictures, capturing Cooper and Cita in action. These two remarkable dogs have been training diligently for moments like this, and today, all their hard work paid off.
Seeing them in their element, working to help others, is a true testament to the dedication and effort put into their training. This operation is just the beginning for Cooper and Cita, and I’m eager to see them continue to thrive in their roles as rescue dogs.


Celebrating Cooper’s New Achievement: A Certified Rescue Dog!

7/6/2024

I am overjoyed to announce another incredible milestone for Angie and her amazing dog, Cooper! Today marks a very special day in their journey as Cooper successfully passed the IPO RH Fläche A rescue dog exam, officially earning his title as a certified rescue dog! 😍🐾

Angie shared with me that although she was nervous at the beginning, once the exam started, it turned into a fun and fulfilling experience working with Cooper. And the results speak for themselves—Cooper performed exceptionally well!

In the obedience and dexterity section, Cooper scored an impressive 94 out of 100 points. But the true highlight was his nose work in the area search, where he achieved an outstanding 182 out of 200 points. This brought their total score to a remarkable 276 points out of 300, earning them a "very good" rating overall! 🥰💪🏻
Thanks to their hard work and dedication, Angie and Cooper are now qualified to participate in search missions together. This is a tremendous accomplishment, and I couldn’t be prouder of their success. Cooper’s skill, enthusiasm, and professionalism were on full display, proving once again what an extraordinary dog he is. 🙌🏻
I want to extend my warmest congratulations to Angie and Cooper for this fantastic achievement. Your dedication and the beautiful bond you share are truly inspiring. I am so proud to see Cooper thriving in his role as a rescue dog and know that he will continue to bring so much goodness to the world, both in his work and in your lives together.

Thank you, Angie, for your continued trust in me and for giving Cooper such a wonderful life. I wish you both many more successful missions and happy moments together!
