Birdie and Quinn. Birdie presents a natural genetic progression and is genealogically text book lined up as a classic example of line breeding. Birdie's first season in harness indicates the potential for a terrific race dog. She is from Quick and Streak. Quick, a laid-back sweet top of the line performer, in our opinion, who runs smooth as silk gaiting at:  lope, speed lope or trot is a littermate to Quinn. Streak is from Tacoma and Quinn. Tacoma was used in the kennel as a cross to meld in genes that are relatively unrelated over the past several generations. Quinn in the fall of his prime as a racer is still a knucklehead, eager to go and still has the mechanical ability to put in on the line no matter what he does. Quinn has always had a distinct presence in the kennel and too, he lets everyone know, not by mixing it up, but by posturing and grumbling as if to say, "don't mess with me, this my turf". Quinn has been a trooper compared to none other in our kennel for performance over his "prime time".  He is tried and proven in all the venues we've entered and never left home from a race nor has ever missed a heat of any race he has been in.
