Twin Creeks Hunter: Magic is the culmination of years of work by Bodo and his Winterhels lines. He very much has that "It" factor that is hard to describe he is an incredibly intelligent animal. He is very easy to train in fact one of the fastest maturing males, I have had the pleasure to be around. He has been successful in every venue and as a wild bird hunter.

In his first NAVHDA UT test he scored a prize 1 198 at 19mos old!! The following year he went to the Invitational scoring 189 out of 200 despite still not being 3yrs old!

In his first ever NSTRA weekend trial he was 1st Amateur for the weekend! Since then he has accumulated 11 amateur points and 4 championship points in only 4 trials!

He has been ran in HRC and although he does not have a seasoned title yet as it takes 3 passes he is on his way.

Due to his intelligence he is an extremely savvy bird hunter. He has found and retrieved 10 different species of wild birds in 9 states. He has an uncanny ability to put the pieces together so much faster than every other dog we hunt with. He has the right combination of smarts and confidence to range appropriately to the terrain, which contributes to his ability to locate birds. You will see him push 400yds plus in the wide open chukar hills then the next day he can be my guide dog on a preserve and stay within 50yds the whole day.

He is an absolute pleasure in the duck blind. Triples and 100yd plus blinds are in his skillset. And thanks to his size and efficiency hunting in the river even when very cold is not an issue.

He has always been an extremely obedient dog who is very much a team player and very simple to train. Which shows in his adaptability and how young he accomplished very high achievements. He does not ever lose control or "spin out". While hunting in any venue he is not vocal in any way no whining barking etc. But he will certainly talk to you in the house. He has always been a very steady dog even as a young puppy he allowed me to flush birds for him. He to this day has never killed a bird not in the field on the force fetch table etc. The bird comes back to you exactly as he found it. To train for his duck search I bought 4 ducks. I ended up giving away 2 and the next year I still had his 2 as pets!!

Magic is absolutely a wonderful specimen of some very unique lines and genetics. He has been tested as a FF for furnishings which means all of his offspring will have furnishings. He has very tight hips (tested penn hip at 16mos). He stands 24" at the shoulders. Generally he weighs 60-65lbs. He has a beautifully long gait that makes his running look effortless. If you are looking for a little bit of MAGIC for your lines he is just the dog for you.
