Spock

Spock is our fourth 100% owner trained and handled AKC Master Hunter.  He is from Mary Hilderbrandt (Emeline kennel) in NY. Spock is the result of an AI breeding and his father, Riley, had been dead for over 12 years when the litter was born!  Like Worf, Spock has some very nice old field lines behind him including Pardner and Ki.  His great grand-dam is Lily (Gaylan's Firefly's Golden Glo) who is one of the most impressive dogs we have ever known.

Spock is probably miss-named.  Unlike his namesake from Star Trek, he is a very affectionate and goofy boy when not working.  In the field, he is a VERY good marker, extremely biddable and confident.

In 2022 I began running Spock in the Qualified stake in AKC retriever field trials.  He has done a nice job -- making it to the 4th series of a very large Q at the GRCA Nationals and earning a JAM at the 2024 GRCA National Q.
