Mother Nature doesn't consider whether or not it's a convenient time for a litter of puppies! My girl Haze will have another Suitor for her next pile of puppies. The GOOD NEWS is he is closely related to the last! Preacher will be busy running his 5th HRC GRAND in St. Louis MO when Haze needs him. So the lucky guy for her next litter is GRHRCH Kanati's We're Playing Through MH "Chip". Both Chip and Preacher are from one of the all-time top producing dogs ,GRHRCH Crispin's This Is It Finis MH MNH QAA "Fin". Fin was Chris Akin's personal dog. Fin hunted everyday of every Arkansas Duck Season for a decade. The number of ducks he retrieved would blow your mind!

The Breeding has taken place as of 9/12/2026 which means mid November we look for puppies to arrive. This will be an all yellow litter with good drive, intelligence and proven performance going back generation after generation. Puppies will go to their new families mid January 2027
​Chip pictured above with his litter mates has those traditional Labrador genetics, just like their sire Fin. Chip has a great head on his shoulders to go along with those great looks. He's steady and as consistent as they come. He's a perfect Gentleman in the house.

Haze reminds me of the Yellowstone character Beth Duttun. A handful and should I say spicy? But she loves her man! Very high drive! She will resume chasing her advanced titles in 2027 if everything goes as planned.
