Description:

This should be a nice litter for performance as well as companionship. The pedigree of these pups is rich with some of the best field dogs in history, the sire has been inducted into the American Pointing Labrador Retriever Hall of Fame and is a four time GMPR as well as a MH, and both parents are amiable, happy, well structured, family companions, too. In addition to the pedigree, we pay particular attention to good health, we check for inherited diseases before we breed for good hips, good eyes, good heart, normal elbows, and run DNA tests our dogs for inherited diseases such as EIC, CNM, & PRA. We require that both parents be clear on both alleles before we breed. No dog is perfect, but we do our best. We love what we do and do it right. Please find attached the pictures of sire and dam. Sire -APLA Hall of Fame 4xGMPR Stk's Tub Full Of Mallard's MH call name " Ted" owned by Shade Tree Kennels. http://www.k9data.com/pedigree.asp?ID=812381 http://www.huntinglabpedigree.com/pedigree.asp?id=99969 http://www.huntinglabpedigree.com/extpedigree.asp?id=99969 Dam - HFR's Rebel's Fowl Weather Friend call name "Parsley" owned by Haas Family Retrievers http://www.k9data.com/pedigree.asp?ID=641821 http://www.huntinglabpedigree.com/pedigree.asp?id=109323 5 gen pedigree http://www.huntinglabpedigree.com/extpedigree.asp?id=109323 Her sire, Hunter, retrieved over 1100 birds in his first season as lead guide dog, her brother retrieved over 800, and her grandfather is Rebel with a Cause. Many of her siblings and offspring are World Championship Competitors for dock diving as well as other performance arenas and service dogs. We expect to have puppy holding sessions so that you may get to know each member of the litter, and at the same time you are helping us socialize the pups. Generally we have groups come over on the weekends to enjoy puppies. The puppies are introduced to scent once they are born, and will continue this until they go home. We also introduce them to birds, water ( depending on the weather), early training and more. As soon as they are born, we have them vet checked and dewclaws removed. All services that should be done by a vet are done by a vet such as dewclaws, vaccines, microchips, check ups, wormings etc... We know ourselves and other breeders are fully capable of doing these, but only a vet can pick up an abnormality of the heart for instance and the vets know what pathogens are around, such as the new H1N1 for dogs... we rely on the veterinarians to offer the best health services and practices to our pups before they go home. It is just another way we are a little different. When our pups go home, a packet of their heritage goes with them, so you can learn more about their history, see pictures of not only the parents but their fore fathers and understand what makes them so great. In addition we send home quality dog food, toys, bowl & a book and DVD on puppy training. In case you did not notice, Ted, the sire, is a pointing lab, and WHAT a pointing lab he is! Ted was entered into the American Pointing Lab Hall of Fame, he is a four time GMPR as well as a MH. Parsley, comes from a long line of tremendous field and performance dogs, including her siblings, sire and grandsire (Rebel with a Cause), she comes with high drive, eagerness to please and a very happy, outlook on life, the dam, is currently enrolled for the summer to compete in dock dogs, where her brothers and sisters are competing, many of whom have been to the World Championships. We hope that this is Parsley's year for the worlds. If you would like to know more, please do not hesitate to ask. 253-344-0831. Thanks you!
