ABITT OF HELLFIRE MH CGC "MAIA"  Passed away June 2010
CFC Expressway's Blackjack (Can.) X Lockports Spanky (Can.) PEDIGREE        MAIA'S LEGACY
B/W FEMALE  APPROX: 55#  OFA HIPS/CERF EYES /PFK  ENZYME & PRA EYE CLEAR DNA























Whether by total coincidence or amazing forethought of past breeders, Maia's pedigree sports an incredible lineage packed full of 2X NAFC NFC CNFC Saighton's Scud. His name alone appears well over ten times within 7 generations and the majority of dogs in her pedigree goes back to Saighton and ultimately O'Vara English stock. It was by no coincidence that we selected sires to breed her to who shared similar pedigrees, and when linebred on herself those breedings have produced  strong, sound, very driven dogs with great legs, excellent retrieving from mark to delivery, and beautiful temperaments.

Maia was my third Master Hunter, but as as a breeding bitch she will be irreplaceable and provided our kennel with an amazing foundation of healthy, nice looking, talented dogs with very few faults, outstanding marking, great legs, size, lots of run, lethal bird finding noses, and the excellent, eager to please spaniel temperaments we are most proud of.  She has left behind an impressive and ever growing legacy of field trial dogs and her name is stamped forever in the pedigrees of FC AFC CFC Hellfire's Fast Track MH MX AXJ CD VS (the 2005 National Open Gun's Award Winner) FC AFC CFC Fast Track's Accelorator MH NA NAJ, AFC Baskwoods Fast Lapper, FC Baskwoods Gotta Have Faith, CFC Puckerbush Briley Full Choke MH (3rd in Canadian. National), FC Fast Track's White Russian, AFC Fast Tracks Upland Chase, AFC Pheasant Feathers Black Oynx, FC Shiloh's Chief Hellfire, AFC Fast Track's A to Z, FTW Fast Track's Quick Step MH, FTW Fast Tracks Hidden Gun SH, FTW Fast Track Jet Setter, FTW Triple Ridges Jersey Girl, Hellfire Hitman NAJ, Hellfire's Sumday Zippity SH, Hellfire's Coldplay, Paragon's Buachaille Dubh of Hellfire ... and many other up and comers still en route to earning their awards.

Good dogs come and good dogs go, but what is for certain is that "Big Momma" was a very, VERY good dog, a loyal and trustworthy companion and a finer bitch I shall never own. It is with much respect to her when I say that Maia will always represent the  standard for which Hellfire strives.

Maia and me
In the field Maia was a bird finding machine and the ulitmate gun dog. She retrieved everything from tiny quail to shot tundra swans (even a wounded one from water) whilst maintaining a perfect soft mouth and 100% natural to hand delivery. She is the most flawless dog I have ever owned. I have said for years that if we all had a springer like this one, the lab would quickly become obsolete.

Maia was a large female, 55 pounds and lacking all the superficial style frills, bells and whistles. She was a huge running dog, bush busting powerhouse and honest to the core. She  never worn an e-collar a day in her life.

For those who believe in such things, Maia also bore the image of the great heron on her back. Most Native Americans took note of the heron's inquisitiveness and determination. As such it became a revered symbol of wisdom and good judgement. The heron was deemed to be a very lucky omen. They believed that sighting a heron before a hunt was a sign that the hunt would be a good one.  Several of Maia's offspring bear the images of birds on their backs, and strangely enough her grandson, Ice, bears a black heron footprint on his white back.
