Black Forest Rogue, WCX 1996 - 2010


We wanted to take a minute to let you know of the passing of Rogue. He won't be remembered as one of the greats but he was a dog that had a big kind heart and caught our eye the first time we met him. He was the sire of our very first litter and is the father of our Star.

He impressed us years ago when we watched him being handled by a 10 year old boy that lost his father, to his WC, WCI and WCX in three straight trials and had an open win at Niagra. Llyod his owner was kind enough to let us compete with Rogue in Master and in field trials as our dogs were not at that level yet. He also placed in a Super retreiver series at the Royal Winter Fair. We were only able to put 2 Master passes on him as he was 8 years old when we started and he told us the next spring that he wanted to retire. From him we learned alot about handling & competing in trials, he was a gentleman, a great hunting dog and he will be missed.

Out for a Late season hunt with Angler & Hunter Television


Tundra waiting on the birds. During setting up


We had a chance to get out with Cam Brownson of Angler & Hunter TV, It took all day before the birds finally started to move but in the end we harvested 10 geese and 6 ducks and hopefully got enough film for an episode.
It should air some time in May.

New Title for Star!


On November 29th Star earned her third tracking title, one of the hard ones, her Urban Tracking Dog or UTD. This involves tracking on variable surfaces, such as concrete, ashphalt, gravel or sand as well as grass. These areas tend to be more contaminated with more scents to sort through of other people, cars or dogs going over your track.

We are very proud of Star!
She is now HR B-Line's Supernova, CGN, CD, WCX, MH, TDX, UTD QAA


Its not all about the ribbons

We got an e-mail from an owner of one of our pups from our Belle/Tucker litter that will be turning 3 years in January. Robb bought Timber as a hunting companion and so far he has picked up 26 birds for him this fall. We love to hear these stories because that is what it is all about, breeding Labs to do what they were bred and love to do, bring home dinner :0)

Below is a picture of Timber.
