2012 Results
The highlight of 2012 was winning the Cocker National Championship with Sydney/Beau’s pup Cairo owned by Deb Strohl. It was a memorable National Championship held in Vermont just a few days before Super Storm Sandy came ashore. We’ve joked that our Sandy, who finished the trial, was angry at not taking a placement!

During 2012 we won 13 trials, placed 2nd sixteen times, 3rd twelve times, 4th twelve times and won the guns award 4 times for a total of 156 points. Note: Corazon Beau has sired 2 National Champions!

2010 Results
The Canadian National was a “Glencoe Highlight” for 2010. We qualified and entered 8 dogs in the Canadian National that was held near Calgary. Paul handled all the dogs. Violet went out on a failed retrieve in the 3rd series and Tina did not get called back to the 5th. During the 5th series, we lost Amy on a wounded bird. The remaining 5 dogs completed the 5th and water series. We took 1st with Mae, 3rd with Comet, 4th with Kizzy, a CM with Beau (Cocker) and a certificate of completion with Storm.
Mae qualified to enter the Canadian National at the Winnipeg trial held in June. She was handled by Sue Wilson.
Our thanks to Terry Lewis for all of his help at this National Championship as well as the Cocker National.
An early highlight for 2010 was in Southern California. At 10 years old Warrener’s Yellowhammer “Sydney” entered the field trial held at Lockwood Valley. She came in 2nd place to Corazon Beau “Beau”.
The previous week Vicky entered the first Amateur National Championship ever held in Canadia with our two qualified dogs, Tina and Beau. Beau went out in the 4th series. Tina took 4th place.
October we travelled to Ohio to compete in the Cocker National Championship which had an entry of 69 dogs. Paul entered and ran 7 dogs, 4 completed the event. They were Quinn (owned by Sue & Alan Wilson), Spydie (owned by Olivia Steele-Mortimer), Brown Bette (owned by Harold Bixby), and our Snicket. Vicky entered Sandy and took 3rd place plus the Gun’s Award. Of the 69 dogs entering the event 17 dogs were bred/trained by Glencoe Kennels(25% of the total field); 9 handled by their owners. Of the 21 dogs called back to the 5th series, 9 of them (45%) were related to Glencoe.
And, in December Vicky entered the Springer Amateur Championship and took 3rd with Kizzy. Kizzy has now taken a placement in 4 National Championship stakes.

Comet took a 3rd in the Springer National Open Championship held in Kansas.

Cockers:
Amber
Sydney
Spook
Zoe
Monty
Vida
Midge
Lizzy
Madigan
Cookie
Bismarck
Storm
Springers:
Taff
Tina
Kesh
On September 25th,Paul championed Harold Bixby’s class bitch Windwhistle-M Vida “Vida”. Vida was out of Harold Bixby’s FC Diana Floss of Windmillwood “Millie”. Vida had tremendous drive and gamefinding ability, although was no where near as biddable as her mother!
Sue Wilson’s Middletowns’ Toluca Lake Ambre “Amber” placed consistently throughout her trialing career, but didn’t take a first place to champion. She was a totally honest bitch, but like her dam, FC Warrener’s Ruby Rubster “Ruby”, she lacked a little flash. Both Amber and Ruby were a delight to train.
Warrener’s Yellowhammer “Sydney”, who will always be one of my favorite spaniels of all time, earned the High Point Cocker in 2005. She had taken a second place in her first trial at fourteen months old losing to Harold Bixby’s FC Diana Floss of Windmillwood “Millie”. The date was September 11, 2001, the day the planes went into the World Trade Center.
Joe Dailey’s stylish black bitch Prariewoods Moonbeam “Zoe” took a couple of placements with Paull running her during 2005. She really started coming into her own this year.
And, A.R. Ginn’s seventeen month old bitch Corazon Chyknell Oak Cookie “Cookie” took a couple of first placements to finish her championship with Paul handling her.
2004
Even though we had been focused on cockers for quite a while, I had been casting around looking for a springer. Ian Openshaw had telephoned from England regarding a young springer spaniel that belonged to Steve Jones called Clarburgh Eclipse of Ladecourt “Taff”. “Taff” was a younger brother of “Clarburgh Art” who subsequently became the all time high point producing sire in the United Kingdom, surpassing his father “Kennine Rob”. I had previously aquired a young springer earlier that year while in the UK named Kenzed Earl “Kesh”. So, I decided to add “Taff” too.
Ian’s predictions about “Taff” had been correct and Taff won the first trial of 2004 on January 31st hosted by the Southern California Springer Spaniel Club.
Kesh, a small black and white springer is very different to Taff in statue and temperment. Kesh won the Gun’s Award at the Canadian National Championship in 2004 hosted by the Saskatchewan Club.
Mike Delaney won the Nebraska Field Trial on March 26th with A.R. and Ollie Ginn’s lovely little bitch Maggie and he placed Alan and Sue Wilson’s Amber 2nd in Maine and 4th in Wisconsin.
John and Leslie (Williams) Holland’s dog “Bodi” earned his Championship in Minnesota on May 2nd, 2004.
On October 31st, Paul took 2nd place at the Cocker National Championship held in New York with Harold Bixby’s outstanding bitch “Millie“.
In 2004 we had eleven different dogs place in trials: Taff, Maggie, Sydney, Storm, Bodi, Kesh, Amber, Fredi, Paddy, Kim, & Millie.
