Bear is super intelligent and trainable, has endless energy to hunt upland or waterfowl and is super friendly and mellow at home. His on/off switch is superb! Bear is the ideal hunting family dog! (He's pretty darn handsome too!!)

At 3 years old last summer, Bear achieved his APLA 2X Grand Master Pointing Retriever, AKC Senior Hunter and HRC Hunting Retriever (Seasoned Retriever) titles. Our goal is for him to become a APLA 4X-Grand Master, AKC Master Hunter and HRC Hunting Retriever Champion by the end of this summer. He already passed his first attempt at the HRC Finished Test last summer.

UPDATE (19APR11): Bear passed the master pointing test twice in Higginsville, MO this past weekend (April 16th and 17th). Thats six master passes in a row, so he is now a 3XGMPR. Two more passes to go and he will max out as a 4XGMPR!! There are still some pups available!!

Bear is EIC Clear, CNM Clear, PRA Clear. RD/OSD Clear, has OFA excellent hips, OFA normal elbows, normal CERF and normal heart!

Molly has retrieved over 500 ducks, geese and pheasant in the last three years. She is known to be one of the best marking dogs you will ever see!! Molly also loves to hunt upland and has a very intense and stylish point that she will hold for as long as is necessary!

Molly is an APLA Master Pointing Retriever and AKC JH and, after this litter is born, she should finish her AKC Senior Hunter this summer. She already has her HRC Hunting Retriever title (Seasoned Retriever).

Molly's parents are both 4X Grand Master Pointing Retrievers AND she has 5 FC/AFC field trial dogs on her pedigree too, including Ebonstar James, Lean Mac, Super PIC, MS Chief and Rebel with a Cause.

Molly is PRA Clear, CNM Clear and she has OFA good hips and OFA normal elbows.

The American Pointing Lab Association (APLA) just recently announced a new APLA Hall of Fame to recognize the best pointing labs of all time. Six dogs were inducted into the HOF. The pups in this litter will have 5 of the 6 dogs in their extended pedigree and 7 total occurrences of those dogs, as two are repeated twice!!!

A recent story on Bear....

Just to give you an idea of the quality of Bear's upland hunting skills, a few weeks back we entered our first run & gun pheasant hunting competition, the Colorado State Pheasant Hunting Championship (a Bird Dog Challenge event). We entered the Top Gun true pointing division against over 30 German Shorthair Pointers. Bear's performance was flawless! His time on the first day was good enough for 1st or 2nd (depending upon the tie breaker) and his time on the second day was good enough for 3rd. Only one problem, his owner (me) was shooting for Bear that day and only bagged 3 of the 4 birds on both days! ...(and, yes, I will be spending some time at the skeet, trap and sporting clay range this summer... so, next time, I can do my dog justice!!)
