Darcy is one of kind dog that just loves to work hard at any job he's given. He's just as happy helping patients in rehabilitation at the hospital as he is working hard in the field flushing birds.
Born one day before my birthday, he represents the breed well in every endeavour he participates in. He is also the namesake behind Pemberley Fields Reg'd Kennel.
Darcy finished his Canadian Championship as a young dog with multiple group placements, each placement had been awarded the day after having worked in the field. Truly a versatile dog.
His UKC Championship was achieved in one weekend with breed points against other Field Spaniels and with a Group 3 placement. Darcy recently joined the ranks of the elite by being one of only four Field Spaniels to have ever earned a UKC BIS title. He is also the first Black Field spaniel to do so. He remains the only Field Spaniel who has won a BIS and a Field Trial Stake.
After a very limited showing in America, Darcy earned his AKC Championship with two large Majors at both of the 2007 Field Spaniel Society of America's National Specaility Trailor Shows. He earned his third and final Major by taking Best of Winners at the Fox River Field Spaniel Speciality Show in Nov 2007.
Darcy has since been shown in the US very rarely while I've been away for work in 2008. He is now a Multi-Group placer in three different registries (AKC/CKC/UKC) and has earned legs towards his Senior Hunter (SH) title.
Darcy making breed history by taking First place at his first Field Trial Stake
Not only has Darcy had success in the show ring, but he also claims the honour of being the first ever Field Spaniel to place in a competative Field Trial Stake. Darcy did not just place in the trial, he took home the blue ribbon. This was made all the more amazing as it had been the first Field Trial for both Darcy and myself, and of course the fact he was a show dog at a Field Trial turned a few heads... Proving once again just how versatile the Field Spaniel can be.
