Maynard came to us in 2006 from Rachael Murphy of Alydar Pointers. His mother, Rumor, CH Alydar's Can't Buy Me Love, JH, was the number one Pointer, multi BIS winner, and Westminster BOB winner in 2004. His father, Harvey, CH Coralwood's Great Am Ballpark, was an AOM winner at the APC national in 2005. We couldn't pass up this opportunity to have such a terrific combination of pedigrees when looking to begin our own breeding program.
Maynard finished his championship easily at 9 months old, with multiple breed wins under breeder judges. In 2009, he was BOS in an entry of 120 at the APC National under breeder judge Paula Nykiel. Maynard has a terrific temperament--a total clown, he will smile on command (see below). This seems to be genetic in some Pointers, as his father was a smiler as well and Maynard has passed it onto a number of his pups. |
Maynard is the sire of our first litter here in 2009, which produced 5 champions. Bred only 5 times, he has sired 13 champions, several JH/FDJ titled dogs, rally and agility titled dogs, and many beloved companions. Shown above getting 3rd place in the stud dog class with his daughter Bette (by CH Taronga Bay MyKyna Lunar Eclipse, RN) and son, Torque (by CH Willowbay Alydar Kentucky Rain) at the 2010 National Specialty.
Maynard is OFA good, elbows normal, and thyroid normal at MSU (last done 2015). |
