New pup!!!

[Waldo84]

Well, my chocolate lab "Cruz" arrived last night from Wisconsin. He rolled out of the truck happy as can be and full of energy. When it was bed time he quietly played with his toys and then fell asleep. He let out a little whimper at about 3:45 and I took him outside to do his business. Then he fell back to sleep until 6am when I got up for work. Again, he went outside and did his thing, NO MESSES IN THE CRATE!

Here is the best picture of the little guy. This was the only time he stopped for two seconds. I've attached a link to his pedigree also incase any of you guys are into that sort of thing.

Do you know the top half of that pedigree is from Washington State?

Good Lookin pup! Welcome to puppy Hell/Heaven LOL

[Waldo84]

Hey Happy, I thought you might find his pedigree interesting. I did know that Carbon is from the Wet side of the state (Woodinville I believe is where his owners are)  and has produced some fantastic dogs (Chopper and Emmitt NFC's) Chopper also being a top producing dog in the last 6-7 years. Emmitt is still a question mark as a producer. I have always wanted a dog from the Carbon line, but my wife has a love for Chocolate labs. So this worked out great.

His sire may not have been an FC or AFC, but he does have 6 or so full siblings who are. He also has 60+ MH passes and is QAA in limited trials that he ran as a 2 year old.

We'll see what I have in the next 6-12 months or so, but hopefully I can bring a little Carbon and Chocolate together to have a good Derby and or AA dog. If not i'll switch over to Hunt tests. I started another Thread over on RTF before I got him and it has some other info on his sire siblings.

GOBBLE: I'm ready, been waiting for a couple of years!

Awesome!

We have a 8 wk old Black Lab right now. Lots of fun and work!

Have Fun!!!

Carbon was Franks dog. Mark Madore was breeder on record for the sire. Mark used to be Jim Gonia's assistant. He left and started his own business training dogs in Texas. He starts a lot of young dogs which get turned out to AA trainers once they are ready for AA stakes. Emmitt is Cynthia Tallman's dog. There are quite a few Emmitt pups of age now. I don't know of the bitch line / breeders dogs well.

[Waldo84]

The bitches sire is out of Tiger Mcbunn who was out of a great breeding between Maxx x NAFC Hattie. That breeding produced 4 other FC AFC's. Tiger produced 8 FC or AFC and many more with AA points.

Her Dam is primarily out of MH's who are out of FC's. Nothing too spectacular until you get back there a ways with Maxx and other FC/AFC NFC's etc.

Cruz's dam only has one eye due to a bad batch of vaccines she received as a puppy. Trust me I checked the paper work from the vaccine company who payed for all expenses and surguries and admitted fault. I guess there were a lot of puppies that received that bad batch back in 2011 in Wisconsin.

She will be running for her MH this year.

What a cutie, sounds like you've got a good start on housebreaking.  Have fun!

I have a mcbunn daughter sitting on the couch. Thinking about a carbon son breeding in a couple weeks

[Waldo84]

Thanks guys. He is doing great so far.

Happy, which Carbon son?

[Happy Gilmore]

Thanks guys. He is doing great so far.

Happy, which Carbon son?

They are two relatively unknowns who started off FT dogs and were washed out for hunting homes. One is at Buckos one in Yakima but, I haven't gotten in touch with the owner in Yakima yet. They were directly from Carbon not two or three removed.

[PointNLab]

What a nice breeding.  I've heard a lot of good things about bond.

A Carbon pup in Yakima and I haven't thrown birds for it yet?

Setting here with a McBunn pup, Happy Joan just sent a McBunn chocolate  male to  Niland. Sharon May never have a Chessie again.

Is it common to use males that are 9-10 years old for breeding, or doesn't it matte?
