Beauty, Brains and Birdsense (BBB) dogs represent the best our breed has to offer. Not only have these dogs proven themselves in the conformation ring (the CH or Beauty), they also have achieved titles in Obedience (the 'CD' or Brains), and still maintain their ability to hunt (the 'JH, SH or MH' or 'WD' birdsense)

Hat's Off to NODROG BBB Dogs!


Am Can Ch Warchant Achilles AD CD RN JH (Achilles)
Owners Ilene & Rene DeLaere & Karie Byers
Achilles was imported from Dawn Ferguson's Warchant Kennels in Australia as a 3 month old puppy.  He finished his American Championship in 4 weekends with 3 majors and loves the field & the obedience ring.  He loves to chase anything that flies including bird shadows, butterflies and airplanes and doesn't always watch where he is going when he does so.
 
Am Can Warchant Penelope AD Am Can CD Am RN JH (Penelope) 
Owners Ilene & Rene DeLaere & Karie Byers
Penelope was imported along with her brother, Achilles, from Dawn Ferguson's Warchant Kennels in Australia at 3 months of age.  The two were very mischievious (sp?) and became known as the Demon Spawn duo.  They would go swimming in the neighbor's pond and catch the ducks, Penelope would scale 8 foot Blue Spruce trees to try and catch the birds, they would industriously try to dig up 30 foot maples and anything else that stood still.

Am Can Mex Int'l World 99 Ch of Amera Ch Karrelene's Who's That Girl? Can CD JH  (Deva) 
Owners Ilene DeLaere & Karie Byers
Deva was our first Junior Hunter and earned her JH with Karie, who was 7 months pregnant at the time, running her.  We weren't sure Karie would make it up those hills at Silo Course.  I showed her to her FCI & Canadian Championships and her CD.  Her American Championship was a joint effort as she would show one day for someone and then refuse to show the next and it was quite a challenge figuring out her mood that day and who her favorite person was going to be. 
Deva was also the Gordon Setter Club of America's Brood Bitch of The Year and is a Top Producer.

Am Can Ch Karrelene's Island Treasure Am Can CD Am Can RN JH CGN
 (Treasure)  - Owners Rene & Ilene DeLaere

Treasure is the perennial good girl who never does anything wrong.........unless influenced by Penelope and then they go swimming in the neighbor's pond.  Treasure loves obedience work where she can be with us and have our full attention, though birds are a lot of fun too.
   
           


Am Can Mex Int'l World 2007 Ch of Amera Ch Karimar's Intuition Am Can CD JH (Angus)  owned by Ilene DeLaere & Karie Byers

Angus has Group Placements owner handled and enjoys all phases of the BBB award.  At the nationals he entertained everyone with his version of the down stay...........laying on his side with one rear leg held up in the air for the full time....needless to say cameras were flashing and their was lots of hilarity.  He did this for everyone of his CD legs.
