DOCK DOGS
Thor consistently jumps over 20 feet in Dock Dogs. He Holds his Master Jump Regional (MJ- R) and Master Jump National (MJ-N) titles. He also has 1 Elite jump of 23'3"

We will hunt with our other Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Rosie, when Thor is taking a break from the action. Rosie is a real sweet heart to have in the blind. While Rosie is smaller than Thor, don't let her size fool you as She is a tenacious retriever in the water and in the weeds. Whether she is busting through ice to retrieve your goose or finding your prize wood duck in thick brush this little girl gets the job done. Like Thor, she is steady on the shot and is also capable of marking multiple birds. Rosie currently has her Junior Hunter title.

Gracie is Thor's daughter from his first litter he sired. This little girl has tons of go and many natural birding abilities so we have high expectations for her future as a gunning dog. Gracie finished out her Senior Hunter title at 25 months old. She also earned her first 2 Senior passes and her WDX title before she was 2 years old. Since Gracie skipped Junior she needed 5 senior passes and she handled it in style. Gracie was a very busy little girl in the Spring of 2010. She ran 6 Senior hunt test, a Derby and a Canine Good Citizen test in 10 weeks. Gracie passed her first master test at 2 years old after have off from training for 7 months to have a litter of puppies. Once Gracie is finished with her Master Hunter title she will concentrate on field trials and hunting.
