Our pup's parents

After deciding on a breeder I spoke with the breeder, Karen Shoemaker, and made the decision to put a deposit on a pup from a litter due in mid November.  Shortly after I was able to drive out to her home and ask some more questions and get a chance to meet the parents of our soon to exist pup, which you can see below. 

The sire is a dog named Ruger, a large headed black male who I was told is quite the hunter, and often accompanies the breeder's son into the field.  His lineage shows significant titling, and while he is not hunt or field trial certified, many of his offspring have received hunt and field trial certification.  I absolutely loved his personality and build and frankly he is the dog I'm looking to have, a great friend and a companion for waterfowl and upland hunting.

The dam is a black lab named Sky, a super friendly female.  The pictures of her build look great, but honestly at the time that I met her it was difficulty to completely tell due to her being pregnant.  Sky's and the litter's info

Together they will have a black and yellow mixed litter and the history of the pups they have produced, I'm very excited to have a dog come from this litter.
