Planned PairingAhto × Murphy
Ahto × Murphy
Early 2027
This pairing brings together two social, stable, active working Cockers with complementary experience in hunting, detection, performance work, and real-world environments. Both dogs have excellent rated hips, normal elbows, and normal patellas through OFA (linked on their pages). Ahto and Murphy both excel at their jobs and have been very successful in their respective venues of work.
References are available from trainers and handlers who have worked with each dog in detection, hunting, training, and/or performance settings and can speak firsthand to their temperament, workability, stability, and trainability.
Our goal: produce puppies with the temperament, trainability, and working drive to thrive in active homes, hunting, dog sports, scent work, and other performance venues.
Why this pairing
Purposeful Working Traits on Both Sides.
Ahto and Murphy were chosen to complement one another in the areas that matter most to our program: social temperament, stability, trainability, working drive, versatility, and health.

Social Temperaments
Murphy adores people and readily works for different handlers, while Ahto is social, steadfast, and happy to take on whatever is asked of him. Both bring an approachable, people-oriented temperament to the pairing.
Stability & Adaptability
Murphy has successfully worked with newer K9 handlers and a junior 4-H handler. Ahto has trained successfully in urban environments. We value their ability to remain engaged, responsive, and steady in different settings.
Working Drive
Murphy is a dedicated narcotics detection K9 with a strong work ethic. Ahto puts his whole heart into hunting and approaches each task with enthusiasm and persistence. Both are active working dogs, not simply dogs with working pedigrees.
Hunting & Scent Work
Ahto works dove, waterfowl, and upland hunting and has earned a qualifying HRC Started pass. Murphy brings narcotics detection, tracking, and previous waterfowl and dove experience. Their backgrounds offer complementary field and scent-based strengths.
Trainability & Versatility
Both dogs have demonstrated the ability to learn, work with a handler, and move between different environments and activities. We are selecting toward puppies that can channel that drive into hunting, performance sports, scent work, and active life.
Titles & Demonstrated Ability
Murphy holds ATT, FDC, FTN, and TKN. Ahto holds ATT and FDC and has a qualifying pass toward his HRC Started title. Their titles support what we already see in their day-to-day work: temperament, willingness, trainability, and versatility.
Pregnancy Updates
Once pregnancy is confirmed by ultrasound, an official litter announcement will be made. Closer to the due date, an X-ray will be taken to estimate puppy count and help us prepare for whelping.
These are the qualities we are selecting toward with this planned pairing. Individual puppies can vary in temperament, drive, structure, and aptitude, and placement will be based on each puppy as an individual.
Thoughtful placement
What We Look For in Homes.
Placement should be based on the individual puppy's temperament, the home's goals, and lifestyle rather than appearance alone.
