This is VC Ale, Porter's sister.
We only sell puppies to hunting families. Our dogs are energetic and bred to hunt hard. That kind of power comes with a responsibility to hunt them and allow them to utilize their ability to make your hunting experience memorable. To keep them from hunting would be unfair.
We thank you for respecting our hunting requirement.
**We have had to go to a Non-refundable deposit to ensure puppies for families that are serious about getting a Hurricane puppy.
Meet VC Hurricane's Prairie Storm Ricochet “Ricci” NA-Prize 1, UT-Prize 1 and VC Hurricane Porter James MH NA Prize 1 and UT Prize 1.
If you are interested in getting on our list for the 2024 litters or future litters, please get in touch with us for more information.
VC Ricci and VC Hurricane Porter James MH
VC Hurricane's Prairie Storm Ricochet “Ricci” Versatile Champion, NA-Prize 1, UT-Prize 1
Ricci’s mother and father are well accomplished in NAVHDA and AKC. VC Top Tier’s Hurricane’s Chloe, MH and VC Sharp Shooters One Over the Limit, MH “Luke” both passed the prestigious NAVHDA Invitational with flying colors and have proven themselves in AKC’s Master Hunt testing and retrieving tests. Ricci has a pedigree many hope to have in a hunting dog and family companion. Her striking beauty and contrasting coloration makes her easy to find and a pleasure to watch in the field. As she matures I find her personality more fun and her work desire more intense.
Ricci has completed her testing in NAVHDA’s arena. She ran her Natural Ability test in 2019 with a maximum score and received a Prize I with Maximum scores of 204 in the Utility tests in 2021, 22, and 23 in preparation for her run at the NAVHDA Invitational, I elected not to run her in New Mexico in 2022, so I requalified her for 2023 and then again for 2024 but that was not needed as she passed the Invitational in September of 2023 earned the title of “Versatile Champion.”
Ricci is an energetic girl that has a calming presence when on point. She has a beautifully stylish point, honors with class and distance and tracks with the best of dogs. The first time she pointed a wild rooster she held the point for close to 5 minutes before I found her in the thick cover. I was able to go in and flush the bird without her breaking point and then released her for the retrieve at only 6 months old. Ricci tends to work close to medium ranges and points with distance as to not pressure birds to flush wildly. She’s like a good bourbon that is getting smoother with age and experience. Ricci has really shown her expertise in the grouse woods by pointing grouse without pushing them to flush. She has been a truly fun dog to train and hunt.
In spring of 2024 we will be breeding VC Ricci to one of our very own, VC Hurricane's Porter James MH. Porter is from our 2019 litter with VC Hurricane's Brandy Old Fashion MH and INT CH VC Sharp Shooters Ladies Man-Chappie. We loved this breeding so much we kept one from the litter (VC Ale) but Porter went to a great home with great people that have brought out all of the wonderful traits he has to offer. Porter is a beautiful liver/white male that loves the water and field with great passion and is comfortable snuggling on the couch. He is sleek and solid with drive that doesn't quit. Porter achieved his Utility Prize 1 at just 16 months and passed the NAVHDA Invitational in September of 2021 at just 2 years and 5 months old. He also has completed his AKC Master Hunter credentials. That is a tribute to his great breeding, training, and great parents. I can't even begin to explain how excited we are to see these two Hurricane dogs come together. There's a few more pics of Porter over on our Big News page.
When we have a litter, they are born and raised in our home for at least 4 weeks until they transition to an area where we can get them outside quickly to encourage potty training. Until then they grow up in our living room. They spend many a night in our laps getting love and attention that makes them the great family members we want. We socialize the puppies at an early age and give them well over 100 exposures to new people. Our litters will take trips to local schools and get maximum interaction and socialization with kids ages 11-14. Many teachers also hold puppies and enjoyed their cuddles. They are on birds at 6 weeks to cultivate their prey drive and we start gun conditioning them at that same time. By 7 weeks some will point and our current owners have reported phenomenal accomplishments in swimming, bird drive, retrieving, and fieldwork. None of our puppies have ever been gun shy and our families are constantly amazed at their bird finding abilities and friendly personalities. We start potty training well before they are ready to go to their homes and our families have had great success potty training at an early age. We are convinced these traits are enhanced though our socialization efforts and attention to cleanliness and caring for them.
We cannot promise coloring or sex, but we do what we can to get our families what they want. A pick in the litter can only be secured with a deposit on a puppy. We require a $300 non-refundable deposit to get an opportunity for a puppy. We only want our puppies to go to homes that will care for, and hunt, the puppy/dog. Please feel free to call us for pricing and additional information about Ricci and Porter or make a deposit to secure your pick in the litter.
We reserve the right to keep any puppy from the litter. Puppies are able to go home at 8 weeks. Owners that ask us to keep their puppy beyond 9 weeks (Day 63) of age will be responsible for any veterinary bills and a $25/day boarding fee.
Please call or email us with any questions you may have. At any time you want to come visit Ricci and her GSP sisters we would be happy to show her off to you.
Good Luck with your decision,
Angie and Paul Coenen
