About Me

My photo
Hi, My name is Gail Bohacek-Sheehan (Nightingale Cockers). In October of 1982 we bought our first Cocker Spaniel puppy from a person unknown to us at the time - Jane Benthein (Schatzie Acres Cockers), Manitowoc, WI. Jane and I became best of friends. It was the cutest black female puppy,"Daisy". Later Jane and I bought a black n white puppy bitch, "Katie", "Schatzie's n Bo's Katie Jane". She produced my first champion. 'Ch. Nosowea's n Bo's No Trial", "Toby". Toby's offspring are still in the ring with Joanne Thorp today, "Nosowea's" Cudahy, WI. Then I purchased a silver buff female who became "Ch. Tri-Pod's n Bo's Picture This","Lacey", from Deb Podratz "Tri-Pod Cockers", MN. She, Lacey, produced "Ch. Nightingale's Double Take", "Tiffany" and "Ch. Nightingale's Classic Image", "Jamie". From "Tiffany" we still have the lines 8 generations later being "Nightingale's Golden Isle Breezes" "Breezy" producing "Nightingale's Mercy Me" and "Nightingale's Southern Jezebel".

Then and now...

....the rest of my story goes like this!!

Next a black/tan puppy. He became "Ch. Northyork Doctor Who", "T.J." from Kim Wubbels, "Northyork", MN. My next puppy, a black male became "Ch. Hyline's Rompin Rebel", "Johnny". Out of a black girl of mine owned by Linda Romps, Gladstone, MI.


Then I got a red puppy bitch from Jane in, my next champion!  I picked her out at 3 days old, born in July of 1984, "Ch. Schatzie's Robyn Retticus", "Robyn". Then 2 years later I got my brown n tan baby girl from Jane, that I later co owned with Christina Debowski (Moonfyre Cockers), "Schatzie's Dutch Mocha" "Jenna", born in July of 1996, who produced "Schatzie's Sweet Murphy Brown" who produced "Ch. Schatzie's Answer to Spring" "Hannah" and "Schatzie's Winter Snow Storm" "Angie".


Then things were quiet for quite a few years...then in July of 2006 with Jane's passing I got 11 month old "Haley", "Schatzie's Silver Comet" and in August of 2009 "Angie", "Schatzie's Winter's Snow Storm" came to live with us, "Angie" was the last Cocker at Jane's.

In the beginning of 2009 I found a beautiful buff boy out of Kimber Lindemann's lines 'Romeacres' MI., "R.A.'S Nightingale's Golden Isle Venture" 1/2009, "Chadwick". We had him shown in many shows in the FL circuit but could not get anything but many reserves on him. He was a super mover and an all around super loving friendly boy. Very disappointed we were in only reserves...

 
 
"Angie" (almost 8 yrs old 12/2004) and "Haley" (7 years old 7/2005) are still here with us. "Angie" bred to Chris' "Namees Rambl-N Man" produced our "Jr International/National Ch. Nightingale's N Moonfyre's Only Option", "Trigger" 11/2009. A gorgeous typey black boy.
We also now have "Amelia" "Moonfyre n Nightingale's Island Girl" 7/2011, out of "Chadwick" n "Gabby" a  Namees girl of Chris'.

I am happy and excited with the 'kids' I have here...they are all a joy, each having a happy personality of their own.
