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!

Dappa & Toffee's puppies arrived

1/31/2024

 
We all caught up on some much-needed sleep, and now it's time to introduce the newest members of our family: the E litter from Dappa and Toffee!
Toffee gave birth to 9 pups on Monday. Unfortunately, one big boy was born still, and another little guy behind him didn't make it, likely due to a lack of oxygen. Such is the life of a breeder—it's not always easy, and it can be heartbreaking. However, what matters most is that Toffee is okay. No need for a c-section, no other complications, and she showed incredible bravery throughout the birthing process without giving up.
​
After facing some challenges last year, we're incredibly grateful for the arrival of 7 new Duckmoors pups—4 girls and 3 boys. Here's to new beginnings and a brighter future!

A little princess was born in our kennel

5/30/2023

 
After a month of many worries a little miracle arrived in our house yesterday!
We knew Toffee is expecting a singleton for a long time and we were not sure how it all ends, but obviously had a bit of luck this time and a little princess was born in her forever home
Both girls are super fit and the little one gained 100g in first 24 hours already, so looks like whole milk bar is working .
Toffee as an experienced mom fell in love with her little daughter immediatelly!
So welcome to the world little Toffee x Buddy girl with no name as we were sure it will be a boy or nobody.
Many thanks to my friends around (you know who you are) who supported me mentally every day and kept my brain and nerves calm until the last second
Kelly, one more time thanks for your Buddy even it did not finish as we both hoped!

Our trip to UK to meet Buddy

3/31/2023

 
We are back home from our UK trip to meet Buddy :)
Toffee and Buddy fell in love immediately with each other and we hope we brought home our future Duckmoors litter :)
Buddy is a true example of the breed. The sweetest dog you can imagine with excellent character and great working abilities. His achievements speak for him.
Keep fingers crossed for our special litter!
Thank you, Kelly Rogers-Davison for EVERYTHING! Even Buddy's face is white already, he is just great!

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 🙂.
All pictures are in Picking-up season 2019-2020 Gallery.

SRK Cold game test for retrievers, 14/10/2018

10/15/2018

 
Kaliture Toffee Crisp & Moonwater Tallulah
We've switched dummies for game this weekend and both girls earned their hunting licenses finally.
SRK Autumn cold game test for retrievers, Letnicie, SK, 14/10/2018
Moonwater Tallulah - I. prize 200/200 points, res.CACT
Kaliture Toffee Crisp - I. prize 200/200 points, CACT, Club winner
Toffee won just because she is 4 months younger than Lou ;) I'm so happy for both of them but especially for my fighter Lou that she was able to compete in hot weather whole day with all others even with her handicap and she really fought hard and did not give up until the end. Now we can enjoy picking up days finally!
Thanks to Tatiana who helped me during the test with switching dogs and Dušan for his time and possibility to train them before the test!



Dummy sme vymenili tento víkend za zver a Toffee a Lou získali poľovnú upotrebiteľnosť s príjemným bonusom navyše. 
Klubové jesenné skúšky retrieverov, Letničie, 14/10/2018
Moonwater Tallulah - I. cena, 200/200 bodov, res.CACT
Kaliture Toffee Crisp - I. cena, 200/200 bodov, CACT, Klubový víťaz

Som spokojná s oboma avšak špeciálne veľmi hrdá na Lou, ktorá bola schopná pracovať v teplom počasí celý deň s ostatnými aj napriek svojmu hendikepu, nevzdala sa a vydržala až dokonca. Teraz si už konečne môžeme užívať poľovačky v plnom zložení!
Ďakujem Tatiane, ktorá mi pomohla počas skúšok s prehadzovaním psov a Dušanovi za jeho čas a možnosť trénovať s babami pred skúškami!
