UPLAND MAGGIE  2011 WORLD FLUSHING CHAMPION

​Maggie is an incredible hunter. She’s that one in a million that can find that bird that has no scent, track it to the bird is forced to flush, where other dogs have pass over and never even flick a ear. She has hunted and retrieved thousands of birds. She was honored at the 13th annual NBDCA National Championships in March of 2008 for Amateur Dog of The Year. More recently Maggie was crowned the 2011 World Flushing Champion. She has a very diverse pedigree ranging from British Import Field Champion dogs to American & Canadian National and Amateur National Field Champions. Many of these dogs hold dual titles including AKC, BDC, HRC, APLA, and NAHRA.

Maxx's owners, Sherwin Scott and Patricia Shawver, bought the dog from Canadian John MacLean following the completion of a successful derby career. Maxx earned a total of 122.5 combined American and Canadian derby points. After the change of owners, Don Remein continued Maxx's training and he went directly from the Derby to the Open where he qualified for the 1993 National Open Championship as the youngest dog entered.
Don Remein was the hander for the 1993 and 1994 National Opens and in 1995 national Open the owner is shown as the handler. For each National Open 1996 through 2000 Mike Lardy was shown as the handler. Maxx was a finalist 97-99 in the National Open. The owner was listed as the handler in 6 National Amateurs with 2 wins and a finalist 3 other times. In addition too National qualifications Maxx was a two time double header winner. Maxx accumulated 109 open points and 56.5 Amateur points. In addition to his two National Amateur wins are two Canadian National Amateur wins.
Maxx is arguably the best sire the most prepotent sire of this era. Records show, in 2006, 8 dogs sired by him with 9 National wins. Five of these national wins occurred in the Canadian National Open and Canadian National Amateur. Names of titled offspring exceed 110 are too many too list here, but one bears mentioning. Chena River Chavez appears to have inherited the ability to pass on good genes to his offspring.

Belle. She was truly a once in a lifetime dog that people who saw her work or hunt would be the first to tell you. She was one fo those gifted animals that I was most fortunate to bond with at the highest level. Fortunately I have multiple generations of her offspring so she's not lost.She could smoke any venue hunt tests at the highest level across the country and win tournaments anywhere also.  Sometimes she'd have to switch gears from day to day.  We have an entire room full of plaques, trophies, and ribbons just from her!    Dan Hove
