Jesse lived every moment to the fullest.  The last two weeks of his life were spent with flat coat friends, in the veteran show ring, retrieving bumpers, and sleeping in my bed.  They were good days…

Bekkr is a great addition to our family, so easy to live with and quite the character. He joined our family shortly after we lost Beau — a liver male, he is in direct line of descent from our Bonnie’s pedigree, so the decision was easy. Bekkr is a very enthusiastic retriever and a strong swimmer and retriever in water. He loves to surf the waves at the beach, and when not swimming can usually be found stalking shore birds, to no avail :-)!

Bekkr has been an exciting as well as challenging dog in the field, given his strong natural hunting abilities and nose, and a less than perfect work ethic. I had to solve more training problems with him than with River, but he taught me a lot. On October 2013, before a home crowd at the PVGRC fall hunt test, Bekkr and I met a long-held goal for Team Bekkr to complete his AKC Master Hunter title. I’m very proud of this sweet boy!!

         Bubba, son of Cutter and Mouse, lived up to his name.

In December of 2007 we added a 2nd FCR to our family, a little liver boy named Ranger. We we can’t wait to see what he can do. I am sure he will be a great addition to our family.
