Ruger

Ruger x Willow

This is expected to be a nice breeding producing pups with hunting/working potential. Willow has full health clearances along with a totally clear genetic DNA panel. The coefficient of inbreeding for this litter is 7.52%, which is below the breed average. Ruger has achieved titles as Hunting Retriever Champion, Upland Hunter, and Working Certificate Excellent. Priority for this litter will go to hunting and working homes before companion homes.
This litter will be located with the Reed family in Greenbrier, Arkansas.
Breeding occurred November 2020
Puppies expected early January 2020
Ready for homes ~ early March 2020

Ruger

Ruger x Fluff

 *Waiting list likely full.*
​Ruger is a hunting-line dog with his HRCH, UH, and WCX titles. With Fluff's beautiful show lines and Ruger's athleticism and working lines, we expect these to be well-balanced pups that are both beautiful and have working potential. 
First breeding on August 5th, 2020
Pups were born October 3rd, 2020
Ready for homes ~ November 28th, 2020
​Coefficient of inbreeding: 0.02%

Jack

Jack x Ember

*This is a repeat attempt at breeding these two. Our last attempt failed. Waiting list is likely full.*
Jack is a handsome dog sired by a beautiful AKC show champion and has working/performance lines on his dam's side. While we don't have a great head shot photo of him, he has a huge blocky head, beautiful coat, and nice conformational structure. Ember is a high-drive, eager-to-please, very sweet hunting-line girl. The goal for this breeding is simply to cross show and hunting lines to create structurally sound, intelligent, trainable, well-balanced, healthy and genetically diverse pups.
First breeding on August 4th, 2020
Puppies due ~ October 5th, 2020
Ready for homes ~ December 2nd, 2020
Coefficient of inbreeding: 0.26%

Cinder x Stud TBD

Pending Cinder completing health clearances.
Currently exploring and deciding on a stud.
If she passes clearances, we don't anticipate breeding Cinder for the first time until early 2021.
If she follows her normal cycle, we guesstimate that she'll breed in January 2021, have her first litter in March or early April 2021, and pups would be ready to go around June 2021.

Gauge

Gauge x Fluff

We attempted to breed Fluff to Gauge in early 2020, but she didn't get pregnant so we hope to retry the same breeding on her next cycle. Gauge is a Topbrass hunting-line stud owned by Vinanches Golden Retrievers. With Fluff's beautiful show lines and Gauge's athleticism and working lines, we expect these to be well-balanced pups that are both beautiful and have working potential. Gauge is a lighter color like Fluff, so these pups will likely be light gold to blond in color.
Estimate breeding in July or August 2020.
Pups due ~ September
Ready for homes ~ November
Both parents have passed all suggested OFA health clearances for the breed.
Coefficient of inbreeding: 0.01% (significantly lower than breed average of 8.32%)

Jack x Ember

Jack is a handsome dog sired by a beautiful AKC show champion and has working/performance lines on his dam's side. While we don't have a great head shot photo of him, he has a huge blocky head, beautiful coat, and nice conformational structure. Ember is a high-drive, eager-to-please, very sweet hunting-line girl. Similar to our planned Fluff x Gauge breeding, the goal for this breeding is simply to cross show/performance and hunting lines to create structurally sound, intelligent, trainable, well-balanced, healthy and genetically diverse pups.
First breeding on March 7th, 2020

Oakley

Oakley x Willow

This will be a first-time breeding between Willow and Oakley. Both parents have full health clearances and the coefficient of inbreeding for this litter is 0.00%, which means total genetic diversity! Oakley is the cornerstone of our breeding program and has produced many amazing pups, and Willow has a nice field/show mix pedigree with a lovely temperament and good drive. We expect this to be a beautiful, healthy litter of pups!
This litter will be located with the Reed family in Greenbrier, Arkansas.
Estimated breeding ~ May 2020
Puppies expected ~ July 2020
Ready for homes ~ September 2020
