Proud Breeder of OFTW AM-FTW Fenloch Sinergy

Fenloch Sinergy Fig is out of my girl Fenloch Rowan Berry (SHR Fenloch Black Widow BCAT Ninja x GB FTCH Broadmeafarm Charlie ) x FC Maesydderwen Sindar Alfie who was imported from the UK and before he turned 2 yrs old, came in 3rd place at the 2019 National Open Cocker Championships which earned him his FC title.
Fig was sold as a hunting dog to a first time working cocker owner, who wanted to train her first hunting dog. Fig traveled to California with a littermate, Fenloch Sinuous, who was purchased by Matty Rawlinson. Matty offered to help train Fig, and convinced her owner Page to enter Fig in competitive AKC sports. Page and Fig entered an AKC hunt test and earned a passing score at the Senior level- bypassing the Junior stakes. They also passed the AKC FT water test- which all dogs need in order to complete their Field Champion and Amateur Field Champion titles.
Fast forward after a summer of training- Page entered Fig in their very first field trial- the Amateur stake in N. Dakota...and they WON! The next month in a double stake- both AM and Open- Fig placed 4th in both. This qualified her for both the 2023 National Open and the National Amateur Championships. Unfortunately poor weather and ground conditions forced the Championships to not only relocate, but to change dates and run back to back- and that just happened to coincide with Figs heat cycle and she had to be scratched from both.
2024 Started with a bang and Fig placed almost every single trial she entered:
2/03/24- Amateur 3rd (Qualified for AM Nationals)
2/04/24- Open 4th ( Qualified for Open Nationals)
2/09/24- Open 2nd plus Guns Award
2/10/24- Open 2nd
2/24/24- Open 2nd
3/01/24 - Open 2nd
3/15/24- Open 2nd
Amateur Nationals- made it to the 3rd series
National Open - made through the 3rd series
10/03/24- Amateur 3rd
Fig needs a win in the Open stakes for her FC title and just 5 points for her AFC in the Amateur stakes.
She will turn 3 yrs old Dec. 2nd, 2024 so she has plenty of time and a lot of future field trials ahead of her!

Proud Breeder of FC Fenloch Starling of Oahe
FC Fenloch Starling of Oahe Clare was from my very first litter of working English Cockers that I bred. She was out of my girl- SHR Fenloch Black Widow BCAT Ninja (Priorsmeadow Samurai x Phantomwoods Brown Recluse) by Litomysl Barlow of Prairierose (2007 British Championship winner GB. FTCH Timsgarry Barlow x 2005 British Championship winner GB. FTCH Willowbee Wren)
Breeding a Better Dog
A pair of wood ducks came screaming by as my dad and I folded the drake. Most likely my dad did the folding, but I tried to help with my single shot 20 gauge. He pulled our springer/lab cross and myself through the cattails and marsh grass searching for the drake.
