Bravo was bred by John Goudge out of his Allie and our Jamie.  Sherie fell in love with Bravo as a puppy and we had actually brought him to California for the Trotters when we had judged out there several years ago.  To say that a bond has been created between Sherie and Bravo is an understatement.  He has brought tremendous joy to her and never ceases to amaze us with his zest for life and BUMPERS.  Man, he is a retrieving fool and cannot resist anything thrown for him.

 

He is a beautiful dog who carries a lovely coat and has extremely nice movement all around.  He finished easily and is starting a limited Specials career in the interim of training towards his Master Hunter Title.  Cynthia got two  his JH passes on him and Sherie got the last two.  Bravo jammed the Singles Competition Unsteady B at the 2006 Flat-coat National Specialty.  At the 2007 Flat-coat Specialty in Minnesota, Sherie ran Bravo in Junior and got a standing ovation by both judges after running his land marks.  He was one of a handful of dogs that took the marks clean and with such exuberance and desire.  He finished his Senior Hunter title in the fall of 2009.

 

Bravo loves running alongside the 4-wheeler for any new adventure and stands by the dog truck each morning and afternoon, begging for us to open up the drawer and bring out bumpers or dokkens.  He lies on the floor by Sherie's recliner where he can have at least one eye looking at her at all times.  He exemplifies what the true FCR temperament is all about and is a welcome addition to our household.

    

 

 

 

 

Bear Country Cupid's Arrow (Adam)

HRCH CH Gamekeepers Black Hawk MH WCX HOF  x CH Bear C'ntry Hob-B Reminiscent MH WCX

DOB 2-10-2006 – present

Bear Country Cupid’s Arrow (aka Adam Catledge) is out of the much anticipated litter of Remie and Hawk.  Hawk has been a favorite Flat-coat of ours for many years.  Since Maria White hand picked Remie as our most complimentary bitch for Hawk, we were very hopeful that the litter would produce the classic look of the breed as well as the field talent that would surely be inherited from Hawk and Jamie (through Remie).

 Having two nice males to choose from in the litter was extremely fortunate, and we relied again on Maria to help us make a tough decision on which one to keep.  Adam was the chosen one.  He was such a fun loving puppy and one of the first to do, well, just about everything.  His exposure to tunneling through the PVC elbows and over and around toys and obstacles we put in the whelping box is probably responsible for him now bursting through any type of cover or terrain without hesitation.

True to form, Adam can be seen lying in the upside down position of all Jamie kids and grandkids.

For more information about Adam's parents, Hawk & Remie, check out Mitch & Maria White's website, www.gamekprs.com.   You can also read more about Hawk by clicking here.

 

      

Pictured below are photos of Adam's first solo catch!!!  Our son, Billy, had let the dogs out in the back yard that evening to air one last time before retiring for the night.  As the dogs were returning, Billy noticed that Adam had caught, and was carrying a wild bunny rabbit!  We know that in other countries, flat-coats are used to retrieve rabbits during the hunt, but we never thought we would ever see that first hand.

    

 

 

 

Gamekeeper's Stock Option (Broker)

CH HR Amani's Top Gun MH WCX  x CH Bear C'ntry Hob-B Reminiscent MH WCX

DOB 4-06-2008 – present

Broker is the product of two very high rolling flat-coats.  Both Ace and Remie have tremendous desire, speed, and talent in the field.  Broker is showing great promise as he is growing up, taking a great liking to both retrieving and swimming.  We are certain that Maria and Mitch White were instrumental in the early socialization of this litter, which will undoubtedly be the foundation for their success to come.  Maria was very excited about Broker as a puppy due to his outstanding front assembly and overall balance.  We could not agree more, as he is certainly turning out very nicely.  He has an absolutely wonderful temperament and is very outgoing.  There are big things expected from this one!
