Iris – Multi-HIT Duck Creek’s Two Gun Red Coastal Wonder CGCA/U ATT TKI RN FTI LAM250 SWM SCME CHIC
Our very own Iris has won multiple High in Trials at AKC Scent Work trials, is the first female Drentsche Patrijshond to receive a CHIC number, and is the most titled Drent in AKC history with 30+ AKC titles achieved so far.

Iris’s half-aunt (through Rainshadow’s Powderhorn Cascade) and cousin (through Tinus Jinte Basco van’t Steickleholt), Ila has won multiple AKC Best in Open Shows, an IABCA Best in Show Rare Breed Adult, is the first female Drent to earn a CM (AKC FSS equivalent of a Championship) and is a talented hunting dog with experience on over a dozen different types of birds.

Finn, Lova, & Oakley of High Desert Drents
Finn (Duck Creek’s Kobuk CGC TD NA – left) is the first and, as of this writing, only Drent to achieve a Tracking Dog (TD) title from the AKC. He is the founding dog of High Desert Drents, along with Iris’s half-sister Oakley (Duck Creek’s Painted Wings CGC NA – second from right) and their up-and-coming Swedish import female, Lova (Rensligan’s Lova – second from left).

Boots – High Desert Admiral Boots, CM-Pointed & Multi-Group Placing
Owned by our local friends the Gonzales family and bred by our friends at High Desert Drents, I had the pleasure of handling Boots at a local show, where he won Best of Breed out of 3 Drents in all four shows, and earned 2x Group 3rd Place and 2x Group 2nd Place.
