Home Forums Birds & Dogs Hunting Dogs Pups have arrived

Jules had her first litter on the 21st. 4 boys and 3 girls. Very uniform size, all very fiesty. She has turned out to be a dedicated and caring Mum, which is a big relief.

I have always had a soft spot for chocolate labrador retrievers....have owned 5.

Congratulations on this fine litter of pups. Are these British or American Labradors?

Hi Doc. I've a soft spot for them too... Currently (if only temporarily) own 10!



WH these are a mix of field trial and hunt titled dogs.

Keep a female, then breed her back to a black lab that is chocolate factored with hunt test or field trial titles. The most accomplished Chocolate lab ever was NFC/AFC Storms Riptide Star MH
( call name Rascal) whose parents were black labs and no chocolate in the pedigree yet their were two chocolate puppies in Rascal's litter.

I leaned early own to breed the best brown dogs you have to breed back to black caring the chocolate color gene or a very accomplished brown dog.

I breed to Rascal twice producing accomplished competition and hunting dogs. Rascal is gone now but believe his owner may still have frozen sperm.

Solid advice and I thank you for it.
In fact, last spring I tried just such a breeding. Same bitch with this stud:

I had high hopes, yet despite multiple progesterone tests, etc the breeding resulted in no pups.
This spring I selected an up and coming stud (Brees) who I've watched training and was very impressed by.
I'll be looking into Rascal for next spring. Thanks again

That is a fantastic pedigree.....you should absolutely try that hook up again. I knew some of the great grand parents in the pedigree, "Ebanstar Lean Mac" was the handsomest black lab i ever saw. He was purchased from his Canadian owner for $80,000 by a Arizona real estate developer, his stud fee's were making him about $50K per year until Mac passed.

Hattie McBunn, call name "Lottie" was the most $$ ever paid for a field trial lab by a wealthy women in Pittsburg, Pa....$250,000.00

You on the right tract. Just think 2 or 3 generations ahead of yourself. If your not receiving "Field Trial News" may I suggest you start so you can track upcoming stud dogs or buy a titled female
for your breeding program.

Thanks again Doc
Kind of hard to find a well bred Lab who doesn't have some Lean Mac in it's pedigree. Talk about getting around..
Last year that chocolate factored black above was 9 years old I believe. I should have thought of it sooner to have his sperm checked before attempting the breeding. If I go that route next year I'll ask them to have it checked first.

Hattie and Lottie were two different dogs.

Thank you for correcting me...my memory is not what it used to be.
