Tigger

Tigger is a brown dog with tons of enthusiasm for everything he does. He loves to show in the ring and hunt in the field. Field Trials are his passion, he loves the long marks and blinds. He's very easy to train for blinds because he thinks he's a black labrador, always willing to do it your way over and over again, just so he's playing any game. His puppies are doing well in the field, agility ring and show ring. One of his puppies "Ringer" has points in field trial derby's. Tigger loves to baby sit the puppies and he gets along with all dogs he meets, girls or boys. He's a very happy, happy boy and just loves being in the house close to everyone. Tigger loves to play with the new puppies or just sit on the back porch and take a nap with them. He's such a gentle boy with small puppies. He's never met a dog he didn't want to play with. I've received "Tiggers" DM results and Tigger is homozygous N/N with two NORMAL copies of the gene associated with Degenerative Myelopathy. So as the study stands right now Tiggers offspring are highly unlikely to get DM or produce it no matter what the dams results are. Tigger is also NORMAL for Exercise Induced Collapse. Tigger is available to approved bitches only. All females must have a current and negative brucellosis test, OFA number, and current CERF certificate prior to any breeding. Chilled fresh semen or frozen can be delivered overnight. Tigger is now retired and spends his winters in the house sleeping by the fireplace and puppy sitting in the nursery. During the summer he sleeps on the back porch and hangs out in the kennels. He loves being outside. He still greets all new dogs with a wag of his tail and that do you want to play look in his eye. He's still a very happy, happy boy and looks forward to every day. He's the oldest dog in residence right now but isn't acting his age!!! He never has, forever young in his heart.

Just a quick note to let you know that Tigger has one more champion for his records. Spicy finished today, the day before the supported in San Diego. YEAH!!!!! We have been the reserve queens to majors but finally got our last major. Spicy has also been doing quite well in agility also. She has her AX and needs another leg for her AXJ. Hope to be showing in obedience by the fall (goal is to go from Cd to UD in less than a year), and the SH tests in fall also. So needlessly to say she is great fun!! Thanks for breeding Belle to Tigger to get me this great dog. Annette 3/20/2010

My Tigger baby is awesome!!! Starting to grow up and put some body. Still acts like a dufus though. Annette 2/24/08

She has so much attitude that at times I need to breathe deep, and count to 10. Her agility is coming along nicely. She is so fast that she sometimes doesn't care about knocking down jumps, is a tunnel sucker, and makes up her own courses. Her force fetch was the easiest I've ever done. And probably is one of the best. The field trainer that I've been out with, wants me to try the goal of derby at the field specialty in 08. Spicy does scream when really excited about retrieving, and when we drive onto the training grounds she gets really loud. We are working on that! Obedience is a blast with Spicy. So I must say I am very pleased with Spicy and that breeding. Annette 12/23/07

I wanted to let you know of Teddy's very exciting show news. Tigger will be proud, that his son got back to back majors this weekend in Fitchburg.. Yesterday he got Winners Dog and BOS for a 4 point major. Today he got the same for a 3 point major...many dogs didn't show up because of a snow storm. We are just thrilled. Teddy looked awesome in the ring and seems to almost enjoy it. He wagged his tail constantly! Karen 1/11/2009

Just a quick note to let you know how much I appreciate the work you put into turning Bear into a finished retriever prior to this past duck season. (2007)

Bear and I spent several days afield early in the duck season with some friends hunting some big water here in Virginia. He displayed good manners on these hunts despite the lack of birds.

In January of this year (2008). I took Bear with me on a big hunt down in Stuttgart, Arkansas. It was a big test for him. He passed the big test with flying colors. While hunting a small puddle, one of the other hunters took an extremely long shot on a widgeon and connected. The bird sailed about 250 yards away from the blinds we occupied across the puddle. Bear honored (though not happily), as I thought the gent who shot the duck would send out his retriever: however, he realized this long retriever was beyond what his pup was capable of. So I cast Bear and he worked for me right to the bird. I had to cast him far right of the bird, and then work him to the left as he would nose some dead ducks that were in an unoccupied blind over on that side of the field. He was on the whistle, and it only took me about three left casts and he had the duck and returned with it. Bear's abilities impressed my fellow hunters. As we left the field later that morning, our guide told me that was one of the best retrieves he had ever witnessed. By the end of our three day hunt, the guide asked me if I could leave Bear to work the rest of the season. He has seen many dogs, but he really appreciated Bear's abilities as do I.

Thanks again for developing Bear into a finished retriever. Our little girl is next in line to spend time with you, and I look forward to hunting over her this coming season.
