Katie's PedigreeSire: Delaware Chief Nicobe***
Dam: Westwind Mackenzie Goldrush**
Katie, along with her brother, Abe, (Westwind Abernaki Chief) comes from an exciting field breeding from Westwind Mackenzie Goldrush's last breeding to Delaware Chief Nicobe. This was a frozen breeding bringing back an excellent field trial line that has had very limited breeding. It is an excellent addition to our limited gene pool. The sire, Nicky, made the 1990 National Derby list with 13 derby points. Despite limited trialing due to a change in owners, Nicky also had a Qualifying win and an Amateur All-breed win. Look for both these "Rudy" grandchildren on the field trial circuit.
Katie is a beautiful dog and a fast and stylish retriever. She is a very smart, trainable and focused retriever, who learns new concepts in field training very quickly. In October 2003, at 14 months of age, she earned a Derby Judges' Award of Merit at the Chesapeake National Field Specialty in Kingman, Kansas.
