This boy is what Fields are all about! He is the apple of his owners’ eyes and I don’t blame them. As a favorite visitor for the residences of an assistive living apartment complex, Blaze's outstanding temperament comes shining through every time. So whether it’s sleeping at his dad’s feet or bringing a smile to someone’s face Blaze is what it is all about! 

Blaze was the pick male in our 2007 litter. With his beautiful front, fantastic rear and level top line he had all the makings of a top show boy. However his personality & temperament prove to be the perfect match for the for the Stube family- who had no interest in showing dogs. So after much soul searching it was decided to let Blaze go home with the Stube family and he would be shown on a part time basis by me. I don't regret my decision as Blaze is the perfect match for his family and we couldn't imagine him being anywhere else.     

In 2009 Blaze once again starting hitting the show ring. Although he got off to a rough start due to the lack of ring experience in a few short months he was acting like a pro. The judges love his out-going tail wagging happy boy attitude. In limited showing Blaze picked up a few more point and a couple of Best of Breed.

Blaze finished his Championship on November 21, 2009 by going Best of Winners and Best of Breed over a ranked special. Blaze has earned multiple Best of Breeds in his quest for his Championship.

About the name: Keme Minooka is a combination of two Indian words.

Keme = Secret 

Minooka = good/high land

07-30-07 This past weekend Blaze went to his first show in Waukesha Wi. Blaze acted like a pro despite this being his first time ever in the ring with no prior training. We were all extremely proud when he gaited away with Best in Puppy Sweeps! Thank you Kristy Hill for handling Blaze! Blaze then went to compete in the regular classes. He was simply unstoppable first winning the Bred by Exhibitor class and went on to take Winner's Dog and Best of Winners for a 5 point major. This was a supported entry show with a HUGE entry! I am so proud of my boy and I am so appreciative of his wonderful owners that have done such a great job of socializing and taking care of him!

1-21-08 So what has Blaze been up to? Well in 2007 Blaze was shown a total of 3 times. When I say limited showing we mean limited. As Blaze live 5 hours away and I was expecting my first child it was not a priority to get him out into the show ring last year. Blaze is maturing into a lovely boy and maintains his soft and sweet personality. His owners continue to be smitten by their lovely boy. Blaze is a much loved family member who enjoys accompanying Don in his travels and on his daily hour long walks. 

11-07-08 Blaze walks with a 4 point major & takes Best of Opposite, Best of Winners. He also earned his 1st rally novice leg. We were VERY proud of the 4 point major as Blaze had to beat out a top specials with a handler to take the Best of Opposite. Not bad for a boy that I steal on the weekends!  Blaze will be taking the winter off showing so.......
