Our Dogs
Webfoot's Yellow-Tailed Blackbeard SH CGC TD
"Teach"
Proven Sire / Standing Stud
Labrador Retriever
The Labrador is a retrieving gun dog of medium size, with a dense, water-resistant coat, an "otter" tail, and a clean-cut head with a "kind" expression. The first Labradors arrived in England from Newfoundland aboard fishing boats early in the 19th century, and imports to America began in the early 1900's. Labrador temperament is outgoing, indulgent with peers, human-oriented and tractable. Labradors can be found in guide and assistance dog programs, and substance detection and search and rescue work. Since 1992, the Labrador Retriever has headed the list as the most popular breed in the U.S.
Bellaebravo Happy Camper SH CGC TD
"Moose"
Spinone Italiano
The Spinone is a versatile hunting dog of ancient heritage, with origins in northern Italy. Suited for working in all climates and all terrains, he is a cautious hunter who follows the scent, moving ever so gradually and proceeding with utmost discretion. His prey stops and he stops; the prey moves again, and the pursuit resumes. He moves with an easy, free moving trot, geared for endurance. He is an excellent swimmer and a model retriever. The Spinone is a large, rugged dog of distinctive appearance, with a hard-textured, weather-resistant coat, longer eyebrows, beard and mustache, and eyes described as human-like.
