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! 

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!

a bit late, but Finn celebrated his 10th Birthday few days ago.
Happy Birthday, Finn!!!

You prove that 10 is only a number in your case. We had a wonderful picking-up season together, you’re still the one of the most reliable dogs handler can ever have. The best sparing partner for young dogs here and the best dog ever for my daughter who is trying to learn the secrets from our retriever world. The Goldens' world definetely needs more dogs like he is.
I wish you the best health from the bottom of my heart so we can enjoy as much trainings, hunting seasons and many more together ;-)
We wish Happy Birthday and all the best to all Finn’s siblings!

He or better ME got a strange Birthday gift :)

We arranged the date at the last minute with reprodoctor and managed to get some extra frozen semen from Finn with an excellent quality, so hopefully one day I will be lucky enough to have his offspring!

Finn at CACIB Nitra 8.12.2019

12/8/2019

 
Rules are rules and we can only accept them. Finn needed “one dog show” that his breeding permission is accepted everywhere so we dit it today! With almost 7 years old dog, working golden!, who was never in a show ring 🙂
IDS CACIB Nitra, SK 8.12.2019
Judge: Daniela Bartosova (Aldamity labradors)
Kaliture Finn - excellent 2, res. CAC in working class

Thank you very much for nice and fair judgement. I really appreciate it!
Thanks Lucy for this excellent boy who has everything what a real golden should have! I really really love him! ❤️

long working day for Finn, Toffee & Lou

Our picking-up season started

9/8/2019

 
Our picking-up season started on Saturday with ducks. Challenging weather conditions and difficult retrieves. We had only wounded ducks and long blinds, not one mark. Very happy about Finn, Toffee and Lou, especially Lou was just great today on all wounded birds, she showed huge determination and patience and really surprised me a lot ❤️
Not many pictures as the weather was really bad, but I was happy to catch one of the Lou’s retrieve where she fought really long time with one duck and “he” fought very long time with her, scratching her face, hitting her eyes, she lost him more times, but on the end Lou won! If I would have a steak there, she would get it 🙂.

Enjoying Picking Up season

We are enjoying with Finn picking up season. 

Finn on the hunting test

10/21/2017

 
we did it .. cold game test with Finn in challenging rainy and foggy weather on challenging corn field and sugar beets. 196 points out of 200, lost only 4 points on the flushing test, pity Finn is not a spaniel or pointer :D, all other tests he got full points. For me he was just perfect!
They tested: nose (during whole test), obedience (during whole test), reaction to the shots (during whole test), heel work (during whole test), 20 minutes of flushing, blind with feathered game, blind with haired game, rabbit tracking, retrieving from deep water (ducks)
Finn needed this test to enter more picking up days here.

Meet Finn ;)

when dreams come true .. dream to have a special male dog with superb character again after Cliff's death. 
When I met him first time more than a year ago, I fell in love with his very open and honest character and now it's real. He is with us already some time and it was the best decision I have ever made. Big pleasure to have such a great dog here. Love you so much my little bear :)
Thank you so much Lucy for your trust and Michael & Petra for a big help and making my dream real!
Meet Finn ;)
