Hopefully she'll be in season soon, so once pups are out of the way, we can concentrate on the new season, and I can bring on her daughter.
So our last day was Saturday, Rhuna did really well, it was beater's day and not many birds left, she picked 1/6 of the total bag over seven drives,...
I think GR's are further split than Labs these days, and I'm sad to say I think FCR's are going down the same route, over coated with a flashy gait....
Thankfully with Labradors, there's a bit of a resurgence of interest in working from the show side, so we are getting good numbers of show bred dogs...
I would contact the breeder of your boy, and ask them to mentor you through the breeding process. Standing a dog at stud is not as easy as many...

Just since November, she's certainly made herself at home ;)
Just for the Rhuna fans, this is a photo of her from last year up on the moors. [IMG]
Just a few photos of Nettle, my rescue foxhound. She's a youngster who ended up in a pound in Ireland where she would have been destroyed if...
