The
Apacheacre Setter Tradition spans 40 years! Started
in 1963 with Irish Setters, Joanne Hurd raised and
showed her dogs in Conformation and Obedience. This
legacy has passed on to the youngest daughter. Jodi
got her start showing dogs at the tender age of 5 years.
One of Jodi’s favorite quips when questioned about her experience
in dogs is, “ I was raised an
Irish Setter.” From the ground up Jodi learned
about dogs, under Joanne’s guidance. Her main job was
starting puppies and young dogs. In the 1970’s Joanne
obtained her PHA status, specializing in the
Sporting Group. This is a continuing family
tradition. Jodi currently shows a number of Gordon
Setters, Irish Setters, English Springer Spaniels, English Cocker
Spaniels, and the occasional working breed.
Jodi’s oldest son Thomas Kler, had shown his Gordon CH Apacheacre
Andromeda to numerous Junior Handler wins,
Best of Breed from
the Bred By Exhibitor classes. Usually beating “Mom”
on the way. We are awaiting to see what the 4th
generation will bring!
This should be a positive experience for your dog. The more fun it is for the dog, the more willing worker they become. We do not believe in harsh tactics in training and handling the dogs. A gentle, firm hand with confidence will bring the most unsure dog around.
Puppies are a special treat for us, we love working with the babies. If you have any questions just call.
