This litter will be well socialized by people of all ages and introduced to bird scent. Each puppy's development will be documented to insure matching potential owners with the right pup. These puppies come from strong field lines, and should excel in upland and waterfowl hunting. They will have had a Vet examination, dewclaws removed, and first shots/wormer before adoption. The adoption fee is $600. These puppies will be available to go home at 7 weeks old. The breeder is still taking a list of puppy homes, please contact him soon if you are interested, as picks are going fast on this litter. Shipping is also available at the buyers expense.

Niko hunts upland and waterfowl along with running agility, and hiking. She is a member of the family, and has lots of personality, but her passion is retrieving. She is a strong swimmer in rivers, lakes, and the ocean. The breeder has plans to compete her in Agility after this litter.
Niko came from a healthy litter of 13 black pups. Her dam, "Babe" has a wonderful temperament, and is also hunted over. She's a well muscled dark yellow with a large, tall build. Below are photos of Babe (and the litter Niko came from):
