A Tribute – FC/AFC H’s Hedgerise Ignited “Aggie”
By: Susan Head|Published on: Apr 25, 2021|Categories: |
We said goodbye to one of the best bird dogs I’ve ever known. Aggie was also the most kind and appreciative dogs ever known to us. Everyone that has a puppy from us has Aggie in the pedigree. In 2008 Aggie sired a litter thru Belle. That litter put us on the map in the big leagues of horseback field trials. Aggie retired to our home in 2015. Although we were not involved in his training or handling in his amazing career, he made it possible for us to meet so many amazing people. Lee and I remain friends with original Aggie puppy owners to this day. Our newer customers know of heavy hitters like Peanut, Blaze, Fire Fly, Little Belle, Shooter, Patsy, Dakota, Jed, Patch, Major, Lily, Lindy, Ozzie, Rio, Hulk, KT, Etta and so many others I can’t remember them all. They all go to that foundation breeding between Aggie and Belle in 2008.
That litter arrived Christmas Day under the watchful eyes of Mark and Cheryl Brent. The day that means so much to Christians around the world also holds a special spot for field trial enthusiasts as well with the whelping of this amazing litter. The original high headed point was seen by many the first time they saw Aggie point a bird. Lee and I are thankful beyond words for our great fortunes in bird dogs and the amazing owners that allow us to pursue the love of the world’s greatest team sport. As Aggie left us his daughter Bessie Grace is due for puppies sired by Major today. A higher power has never been more clear! God Bless!
RIP National Shooting Dog Champion, FC/AFC H’s Hedgerise Ignited, Master Hunter, and my title OGD “One Great Dog”
