Brooke's pups!

Yes!  We have a new litter of chocolate pups.  They are now active, so they are a lot of fun.  They have been exploring, and while they're on their little adventures, their tails keep wagging because they are just so happy!

See them on YouTube.  Enjoy!

The 2012 calendars are done! Here are 2 of the photos that are featured. For the calendar, I zoomed in on the photo with the 2 pups so that you can see them better. My favorite photo is probably July's photo of a chocolate lab, but it is hard to pick! There are photos of black, yellow, and chocolate puppies. :)

If you would like a calendar, just let me know! Thanks!

Litter-Fall 2011

Hello!

It has been a long time since I have updated the blog with new photos. I apologize for the delay.

As you can see from the photo, this litter of pups is as cute as ever. This photo was taken about a week ago. At the time the pups were about 6 weeks old.

All of the pups have homes except one yellow male, and he is a sweetie! If you know of anyone looking, please let them know. I hope that you and your pals are doing well. If you get a chance, add a photo or maybe even two!

Painting

Larry Beckstein has done it again! He painted one of our older females. Many of you know and love Madison. She definitely shows a lot of expression.

Also, I am hopeful that he will be painting one or more of the pups from the last litter. He has requested some of my photographs. Of course, I am honored. I can't wait to see those little guys captured in a painting. :)

First season!

Staci and Joel ..... it looks like Beck's first season is over ... she had a great first year with over 40 retrieves of geese and ducks! Some of them over 150 yards in icy Lake Erie. We spent 11 hours in a blind on two different days with temps well below freezing and she never let up. What a dog!!
