Nitro Kennels' Proud Owners

Ken Fallon and Nitro's Elhew Hammer (Wizard x Abba)

"I've had 30 years with bird dogs and Hammer is one of my favorites! Lots of personality, very biddable, easy to train, lots of natural pointing, retrieving and honoring qualities, plus a real character to be around. I also get lots of compliments on his good looks.

"Hammer was high point runner-up in Northern Nevada Upland Series for 2007 Runner-up (2) in Reno (2007) at the N.N.B.D.C. Championship. 2008 Memorial Day N.A.S.T.R.A. Classic double/double 2nd and 3rd placements in Reno, NV. Also first place Sierra Valley California N.A.S.T.R.A. Trial, September 27 and 28, 2008."

Best Regards,

Ken and Hammer

Kenny Fick's Bud (Jock x Ann pup)

"Wow what a pup!! We are having a great time with Bud. He's eating real well now and growing like a weed. My wife took these pictures last night of him. I don't know if a man could find a pup with more class and style."

Thanks,

Kenny

Rick Herpin's eagerly anticipated pup, Hannah (Mack x Abby)

"Thanks so much for sending the photos of the pups. Man, I am surprised that they are growing so fast!!! I can't believe that their eyes are opened already....wow! Looks like you, Johny, and Abby have all done a "bang-up" job keeping the pups healthy, clean, and pretty. Look like the two orange/white pups are starting to color now and I am excited about that. It is kinda hard trying to figure out which one will be my bed buddy/hunting companion...time will tell.

"Best wishes to you and your wonderful wife and again, thanks for taking time to keep me informed how the pups are doing."

Brent Pike's Morgan (Buck and Dolly)

"I just wanted to give you an update on Morgan. She is AWESOME! I just can't really explain how happy I am with her. At less than 9 months of age she is reliably pointing and holding ruffed grouse and woodcock. She is steady to flush, no real training just lots of exposure to wild birds. She looks like a million bucks on point, high at both ends and handles pretty well. She likes to run and am working on her to run with me not just any direction that she feels like. She has had a couple of points where she was well over 100 yards away from me and she held until I got there.

"Again, thanks for breeding such a wonderful animal. I look forward to getting more dogs from you in the future."

Mark Leadbetter's Rip Rap (Fib x Maggie)

"Thanks for the phone call, it was a pleasure talking to you the other night.  I renamed the dog Rip Rap, a glorious old Pointer name going back 100 years. I call him "Rap". You said he had "class" and you were absolutely right on. This dog has a ton of class and is also extremely personable, sometimes a rare finding in a Pointer. His points are absolutely breathtaking (10/10). When he moves he floats over the ground. He has all the makings of a great dog. I am delighted with him. Thanks for pointing him out to me. I will keep you updated on his progress."

Best regards

Mark

Mike and Kariann Marchetti's Rosco (Blaze x Fancy)

"Rosco just turned a year old and is doing great. He is a ball of energy with a motor that won't quit. He loves dogs and people and is very friendly, which we love. He weighs roughly 50 lbs and is so active he won't keep weight on.

"He's been on birds since we brought him home and is now in more structured training. He is bird crazy and has tremendous drive and desire. Rosco also has great natural retrieving instincts and will retrieve toys and bumpers for hours.

"He's going to be a great bird dog with a ton of talent."

Mike, Kariann, and Rosco

Shawn Corman's Hannah (Nitro x Rosie)

"Thanks for breeding such a great dog! I can't imagine a dog with more natural desire to find and point birds. Hannah is a very animated and biddable dog, but more than anything, she is intelligent. It amazes me how fast she will learn a new lesson and remember it for the next time. Can't wait to see the next two pups you will be sending in the spring!"

Shawn

Kenny Fick's Bud (Jock x Ann pup)

"This is a picture of Bud at 5 months. The more time I spend with him, the more he reminds me of Fancy. He handles his birds really well. As you can see he's very stylish on point. He sure seems to be another great Elhew Pointer. He's easy to train, very smart, and has a great personality."

Thanks again

Kenny

Justin McWilliams' Gauge (Wizard x Abba)

"Much to my pleasure, Gauge (Mac's Elhew Gauge) has turned out to be more than I would have ever expected in a dog! Gauge has placed in a U.S. Complete Derby Classic, he has numerous Open Shooting Dog Derby, and Open Shooting Dog placements under the whistle of Harold Gearhart. The last three years we have shot a lot of wild quail over him in Texas. Now, our goal is to win an Open Shooting Dog Championship (hopefully sooner than later!) At just 4 years old, he is starting to hit his prime. After being close in a couple of Championships already, I am hoping his is just around the corner. He has really turned into an excellent all-around trial and hunting dog, along with being a great companion.

"Thanks for the wonderful opportunity and great dog."

Justin

Mike Serrano's Sea Pony (Elhew Sea Horse x Elhew Sea Song)

"How you been JD. I thought you would enjoy this picture of Nitro's Elhew Sea Pony. He is making a very good hunting dog and a very competitive field trial dog as well. Thanks for your hard work. If it wasn't for good proven genetics it would make bird dogs more work and less fun."

Mike

Bruce Williamsons' Jack (Pinehill's Walking Tall x Elhew Fancy Girl)

"It is with deep regret that I write to inform you of the passing of the best hunting dog, and friend, I ever owned. Jack was a natural in all things involving birds. He was a master at handling wild birds. I never sent him to professional training because he knew everything. He would back naturally.

"Jack was to me a once in a lifetime dog. He was not only a master at his craft, but exceptional company and I loved him dearly. Here's hoping that lightning strikes more than once.

"Thanks for breeding such an exceptional dog."
