Layna x Sabe puppies @ 3.5 weeks old - individual pictures!

8/2/2015

Click here to go to the Layna x Sabe litter page!

We keep track of each puppy from birth until they leave our home by using different colored nail polish. It's the safest method of identification in our opinion - many other highly respected breeders and vets agree, too. For this litter we are using black, orange, blue, and yellow (no marking); when you see a puppy with the same color it's because one is a male and the other is a female (for that color). Here are a few pictures in a slide show of each puppy!

Side note: we tried to get 3 or 4 good pictures of each puppy, but some of them were in a pretty playful mood and didn't really want to pose, leaving a majority of the pictures pretty blurry...more pictures will be coming soon, though, so check back soon!

Orange Female:

The Orange female was pouncing at me in all of her pictures - sometimes it's hard for a puppy to distinguish between play time and picture time when I'm talking to them and laying down there on the floor with them!

Updates!

7/31/2015

For everyone who has been interested and looking for updates on our blog regarding past, current and future litters, our computer has been out of commission for the last few weeks, but now we're up and running again! We'll be trying to play catch up over the next few days, so please check back often to see everything that has been going on here. We'll start by posting pictures of the Layna x Sabe litter at 3.5 weeks old, and then updated (6 wks) by this weekend. We'll also try to post some of the pictures and feedback we've gotten over the past 1.5 years on Layna's last litter. Please feel free to call or email any time if you have any questions or would like additional photos or videos - thanks!

Pow x Jessie Puppy is 2 for 2!

4/30/2015

Congrats to Jason Chamberlain and "Sailor" (Jessie x Pow puppy - May 2014) on a job well done at the North East Texas Hunting Retriever Club in Beckville, Texas. Sailor was signed up to run in the Seasoned test each day, and came out passing both easily. Jason was also able to run him in a Finished test one day as the bye dog, and Sailor was able to do that too! Considering Sailor is only 11 months old, it looks like he and Jason make a great team and they have a bright future ahead of them. I can't wait to see the things to come from the two of them!

Jessie pup runs first derby!

7/16/2014

Jessie pup "Jazzy" ran her first derby last weekend. It was a really tough trial with only a few dogs able to finish. Josh Conrad ran Jazzy against a talented field of almost 30 young dogs, and was able to get further than most of them. Jazzy made it to the final series; she nailed the first mark,but she went out on the last bird - so close!

Excellent effort by this nice, young Jessie puppy. Jazzy still has a lot of time to compete, and we're optimistic that she has a very bright future.

5/15/2014

The Jessie x Tubb 2013 litter just turned a year old in the middle of February, so we thought we would try to get a few pictures and see how they're doing. Go to our older blog posts from about a year ago to see them when they had just arrived to their new homes.

Layna x Homer Puppy Updates

5/13/2014

The Layna x Homer puppies have had some time to get all settled into their new homes with their new families, and we've been getting some great reports. We're really happy with the homes these puppies went to - something that's very important in this process. We were fortunate enough to get some pictures of the puppies, so we thought we'd post them up.

Check back in over the next few days as we add more pictures of the Layna x Homer litter, and some pictures from the Jessie x Tubb litter (2013).

Below is "Keelin" - she's now with the Benz family in Minnesota.

Below we have pictures of "Pearl" - she now lives with the Campbells in Houston, TX.

Next we have "Mann" - he's made his way to Louisiana to live with the Berrigan Family

Below are a few pictures of "Finn" with the Murphy Family in Indiana. Looks like he's found a friend in the Murphey's older lab "Coley".

The Lee Family took their Layna x Homer puppy "Bleu" to visit his dad Homer one weekend - cool picture! Bleu is still in Texas.

Below are a few pictures of "Lucas" with the Coffey Family in Texas.

Layna x Homer puppies' half sister earns AFC title

5/1/2014

"Lu" achieved her Amateur Field Champion Title last weekend at just a little over 3 years old!

I've posted about Lu's accomplishments before on this blog, so I won't re-list everything she's done. However, I'd like to add that she has been very consistent throughout her Field Trial career, and especially consistent lately. Lu has received a ribbon in the last 5 consecutive weekends she has competed, has placed or jammed in 7/8 of the last 8 weekends she has competed, and has earned 8 ribbons in the last 8 weekends she has competed.

Lu is a special dog, has accomplished a lot and is still young. We feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to breed our dog Layna to Lu's sire, Homer, and we're also optimistic that the Layna x Homer litter has a bright future ahead of them, too!

Congrats to Pam, Joe, and Cindy on their new AFC!
