Good Labrador Retriever Resource Site

There is a new resource site for all of those interested in labs.  It is called the Labrador Retriever Encyclopedia.  It is pretty new but has a ton of good information about the history of labs, breeding, training, hunting, hunt test, field trials, hip dysplasia, etc.  In the history page there is some good info about the first dual champion labrador retriever, and the history behind the yellow and chocolate labrador retrievers.  Before you buy a puppy or decide on a labrador retriever sire / stud, you should visit that site.

New Litter Sired by Cash - Man In Black "Cash" X Daisey Duke Rosholt

Cash was bred in mid-November to Daisey Duke Rosholt, a black labrador retriever female. We had the pleasure of keeping Daisey for a couple of weeks, and she is an amazing dog. Daisey weighs about 55-60 lbs and is a beautiful dog with a lot of desire and hunting instinct.

After spending a couple of weeks with her I believe she is one of the smartest dogs I have ever been around. She can open doors, get drinks out of the refrigerator, and she responds to a wide range of commands. Daisey is also very polite in the house, but when she is out in the field she really turns it on. Her owner, Jake, has used her to hunt a variety of game, including ducks, geese, pheasants, squirrels, and turkey. She loves the water and loves being outdoors.

Daisey has OFA Good hips and OFA Normal elbows. She also has her CERF certification. Her pedigree has several FC-AFC's (Field Trial Champions). These puppies will be great hunting dogs, hunt test dogs, companion dogs, and pets.

The litter should be whelped within the next few months, probably around mid-January, 2009. If you are interested in a puppy, or would like some more information, please contact Jake Rosholt at (405) 714-1422 or contact me to email him.

Stud Services: Man In Black "Cash"

Man in Black "Cash" is an 80 pound, well muscled black labrador retriever with stunning good looks available at stud. He is intense and driven in the field, yet is well mannered and obedient at home. He is very hardy, and will push through brush, marsh mud, and other obstacles to retrieve fallen and wounded game.

Cash's desire to please is perhaps is most endearing quality. It is this desire than makes him highly trainable as a retriever and as a close companion. Cash has passed every Hunt Test he has participated in, and he will be running more in the future as schedule permits. He loves water and is a true "water dog." He jumped into our pond at eight weeks of age to retrieve a tossed bumper.

Cash's pedigree can be found here. Cash's sire is from one of the few lines that has produced combination AKC Master Hunter's (MH) and conformation champions (CH). His dam is from a strong field trial line and her pedigree contains many field champions (FC) and amateur field champions (AFC). Cash is also a proven producer of chocolate, yellow, and black lab puppies.

Cash's hips are rated OFA Excellent and his elbows are rated OFA Normal. His parents and grandparents all have OFA Normal hips. Cash's ancestors are all very healthy dogs with great genetics.

If you are interested in producing good looking, healthy, and well-built lab puppies that have a strong desire to please and excellent hunting and retrieving skills, please contact me for more information about using Cash as your stud dog. When paired with the right female, his offspring have the potential to be great field trial dogs, hunt test dogs, hunting dogs, show dogs, and personal pets.

Cash's OFA Certifications

Cash received his OFA certifications today for his hips and his elbows.

Hips: EXCELLENT
Elbows: NORMAL

An OFA hip rating of Excellent is extremely rare. Of all Labrador retriever applications submitted to the OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals), less than 1 out of 5 are rated Excellent. This does not take into account the millions of retrievers that are not x-rayed and the ones who are x-rayed but are not submitted because the hips are obviously dysplastic. In other words, the labs out there with excellent hips are in a very small minority. If you are looking for a labrador retriever stud dog, make sure his hips and elbows are OFA certified.

Training Update - November 08

Cash is running land blinds and water blinds. His handling in the water blinds could use some work as we have not done "swim-by" yet. He is doing great hunting and is learning how to hunt in the thick flooded timber and brush.

2008 National Retriever Championship: Series 2 & 3

This picture is from the NRC website and shows the combined land and water blinds for the 2nd and 3rd series. I added some arrows to show the approximate lines to the blinds. The blinds are complicated by the dogs' memories of the previous gunner stations and old falls of the marks. Also, the water blind has a very difficult water entry. The dog ideally would take a direct line into the thin sliver of water and then return on that same line.

2008 National Retriever Championship Has Started

The 2008 National Retriever Championship is taking place this week in Montgomery, TX. It started yesterday (Sunday, November 9, 2008) and will run through Saturday, November 15, 2008. There will be 105 of the top dogs in the country competing this week. The competition will include triple and and quadruple retrieves at distances of up to 400 yards or more. It also includes blind retrieves over and through various factors including ponds and thick cover. Ducks and pheasants will be used for the marks and blinds.

The dogs competing in this contest are the hottest retrievers in the country. They are Field Champions (FC) who have met a strict set of standards and won a minimum level of trials during the last year. Each series, certain dogs get dropped according to mistakes in their performance. The winning dog will be given the title of National Field Champion (NFC). Last year NFC-AFC Candlewood's Something Royal, owned by Neil and Brenda Little won the championship.

The first series on Sunday was a double with a live flyer at about 370 yards and a retired gun at 200 yards. There were several opportunities for the handlers to lose site of the dogs if they did not take a perfect line or if they over ran the marks. 10 dogs were dropped on the first series.
