Hannah is a well mannered, trained hunting dog with a high energy level. Does well around kids, other dogs, and travels well. Fast, big open area retriever, would make a great goose dog. Gun broken, great swimmer, with high desire to retrieve. Kennel kept, crate trained etc., but needs a home with open terrain since we currently live in the city.

Downside: Hips not cleared by OFA, returned with Mild Hip Dysplaysia and Grade II Elbow Dysplaysia. Also is an EIC carrier. In short, she should not be bred. However, she is healthy, runs like a greyhound, and has no signs of effects from dysplaysia. The doctor indicated from Xray appearances her hips are fine and no indications of jagged hip bones or the deabilitating hips, for whatever that is worth. She could have a normal healthy life that spans 10-15 years (have one approaching 15 years right now) or she could have some symptoms that impact her prematurely. At age 4 she's showing no signs of slowing down. Is a lean, mean, running machine.

She's a well trained hunting dog that was trained at field trial level, competed in numerous derbys, making it to the final round in several and jamming in two at very competitive events. She has hunted both on land and boat at least 40 days. She's rusty right now, but handles well when tuned up and has no trouble with a long bird.

We'll consider any reasonable offer to a good hunting home. Our minimum requirement is a hunting home that preferably has open space.

Will gladly send photos, copy of pedigree, and health documents on request.
