Sorber Run Serena, dam of Grand National Grouse Champion Full Tilt and multiple all-age grouse winner Bold Move, has died.\u00a0 Serena was a dog bred by our kennel mating Grindstone to Scirrocco.\u00a0 Grindstone was by Body Guard and\u00a0Grindstone’s influence on the speed and\u00a0flashiness of Serena’s offspring was obvious.\u00a0\u00a0Grindstone was an exceptionally classy dog and this was passed on through to the next generations.\u00a0 Serena’s dam was also sired by Grand National Grouse Ch. Body Guard.\u00a0 Body Guard’s drive\u00a0is apparent in Serena and her pups.<\/p>\n
Serena was whelped in our kennel in the same year that we had a litter by Super Ghost x Ch. Northern Anndee.\u00a0 This litter by Super Ghost produced two exciting pups who would go on to make a significant mark on the breed–Pennstar and his sister First Option.\u00a0\u00a0 In workouts that year, 2000, Serena had two formidable competitors for space on our dog truck.\u00a0 Eventually we sold Serena to Donnie Spencer of Sugar Valley, PA, and he placed her–most notably winning the Lancaster County Open Derby with Pennstar 2nd.\u00a0 Later, Donnie sold her to his buddy going back to high school days, Walt Konopke of Noxen, PA.\u00a0 Walt\u00a0used her to hunt grouse the rest of her life.\u00a0\u00a0Through the generosity of Walt, we\u00a0were able to lease Serena\u00a0to produce\u00a0litters\u00a0by Pennstar. \u00a0 It is from the first\u00a0mating that we\u00a0 got Full Tilt.\u00a0 After she won the Flanagan Award, we repeated the mating and got our Bold Move.\u00a0 Two terrific dogs that\u00a0are currently\u00a0competing \u00a0at the top of our sport is a great legacy made possible by Sorber Run Serena.\u00a0 As Walt said when he reported her passing to me, “She went out on top–the dam of the reigning Grand National Grouse Champion”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
