Our Dams

Phoenix is our little fire-cracker fox red female weighing 50 lbs. She is personality plus! She is an absolute pleaser in the field and in the home. Phoenix comes from an INCREDIBLE line of Field Champion dogs. With such a pedigree, it is easy to see the results in Phoenix. She is exceptionally intelligent; her marking skills, handling and nose are superior. Phoenix has the desire that makes training easier. And if you are trying to get a picture of her, good luck! Phoenix is also extremely fast! The more action the better in her eyes. Just after a few months with us, we thought of renaming her to 'Sugar' because she is so incredibly sweet. She lights up the room with her sweetness and leaves a lasting impression.

Phoenix's offspring have proven to be excellent in the field and in the home. Her offspring at very young ages have obtained titles in AKC and UKC in many different arenas including Agility, Obedience, FastCat, Hunt Tests, HRC. At very young ages, Phoenix's puppies are proving to be a fierce competitor in all areas. One of her pups at 10 months old ran FastCat and was clocked at over 25 mile per hour!!! At 10 months! This would be one of the fastest 100 labradors at any age!!

Phoenix has the nickname of Ferrari for a reason. To add to the amazement of her pups, one of her pups is a service dog that has saved lives including its owner on multiple occasions. Intelligence is the number one attribute that Phoenix gives to these puppies. The have been incredible even at such young ages! If Phoenix or her puppies are not giving it their all out in the field, they will be snuggled up next to someone on a couch. Phoenix brings intelligence, excellent marking, speed, drive, temperament, trainability and very social. Her pups have proven to be the same!!

Sunny is a stunning 70 pound Fox Red female. One word to describe Sunny is 'Gorgeous'. She is rock solid and muscular with a gorgeous head, dark lined eyes, and a beautiful shiny coat. And her personality matches her looks, beautiful! When it comes to retriever work in the field, Sunny is an excellent marker, compliant, and a team player. Water retrieves are a breeze for Sunny because she absolutely loves to be in the water. She is a sister to 'Storm' (Field Trial). Sunny is trained for AKC Hunt Tests and is currently titled with an AKC Senior Master Hunter Title. She is continuing her training for her Field Trials, Quals, and hunting in the fall. After her earning Master Hunter Title, Sunny will continue to train and compete in AKC Field Trials. She has the fire in her belly to retrieve with the talent to succeed.

She is very muscular and strong; she is athletic and can run and/or swim through just about anything.

Just like her dam, Phoenix, they both could have been named 'Sugar' for being so sweet, but don't get me wrong, she has an off and an on-switch. Minnie can turn on the switch to train or hunt as easy as it is to shut off for her. She knows what her hunting or training tasks are; she completes them; and can shut off that switch to be a family dog. Minnie is a very methodical and intelligent retriever when she runs her marks. She knows exactly where they are, and how to execute her plan to retrieve them. Minnie runs excellent blinds no matter the distance. Currently, Minnie has a AKC Senior Hunter Title.
