I was once told "The most optimistic thing a man will ever do is to reach into a pile of squirming pups, pull one out and say this will be my gundog" Well I guess I am a forever optimist I just brought home my next gundog from GoldNGun Retrievers in Mill Bay BC. She is a daughter of Foxton's GNG Gawd Darn Risqu� MH and granddaughter on my good old gal Foxton's Cuervo Gold, the 4th generation of Foxton Goldens. Now the fun begins

Ive often said the ONLY thing in the world better than a puppy is an old dog. Looks like you have both bases covered. Enjoy them both!

I don't believe you just reached in a barrel and pulled that good looking pup out. If you did you need to buy a lotto ticket. Hasbeen

Good for you.
I'd have a new pup every year if I could.

Couldn't have picked a bad one, came down to her color she was the darkest female. She is 4 generations of my blood lines. Her dam is from my grand old bitch and was conceived at the 2008 Can. Nat. Retriever Trials. She earned Master Hunter before the age of 2 and is back trialing 9 weeks post whelp. Her sire is an upand coming hut test/trial dogwho's only trouble is his handeler. I don't ay that in a negative way the gal whoowns him is just now getting into the competition world and has some learning to do. If you pick good bloodlines it's pretty hard to o wrong.
My pups Dam at little over 12 weks
