AKC Labrador Retrievers
(English Lines)

AKC Labrador Retrievers came back into my life on a warm Easter Sunday in 1998. On this fateful day, I decided to give a lonely little yellow lab pup a two week trial. Twelve and a half years later, God called her home.The pain is real and the hole is deep but, this is Oat's story and her extended family will live on..............

Oats was not only my buddy, she was mother & grandmother to all our dogs. She was my second hand when it came to farm work. I couldn't do my farm chores without her! She passed all her displaysia tests, was certified "Good" and had her eyes "Cleared" annually. This wonderful yellow female weighed in at a hefty 55 lbs and had a small solid build. Oats had wonderful retrieving skills, targeted birds on the ground/air, loved the water, a lively mouse hunt and herded my young weanling horses and goats into the barn when needed. Bring out a gun, and she was ready to find the vermin! Oats produced her last litter - sired by the late, Mistyfield March To The Beat - on: April 18, 2005.

There were 7 puppies: 4 boys and 3 girls. She LOVED being a mom! Thank you Oats for giving your all and leaving us with the most wonderful memories.

Until we meet again..........................

Uno, ready to go!                                Uno at rest - summer of 2005

Uno was the sole pup in her litter. She was a 'keeper' from the start! Uno is tiny, weighing in between 43-48 pds. Although her build is small, this dog is dynamite! Her profile is a site to behold, correct legs, hips, eyes and a hunting instinct to die for.

Uno's Limited Show Record: Aug. 2006 - almost one year from her first agility lesson, she garnered both her AKC Novice Agility Titles in 20' division and one High Point Labrador Retriever Award (Standard Division) at: The Greater Boston Labrador Retriever Club trial! 2007 - Uno earned her AKC Open JWW Title and is one "Q" away from her Open Standard. She received another, High Point Labrador Retriever Award (Jumper With Weaves Division) at: The Greater Boston Labrador Retriever Club trial, for the second year in a row! Way to go Uno!

Trialing for the 2008 agility season was very light. High gas prices & large traveling distances were the main reasons. 2009 was another light year as Uno had a litter of pups in March and we decided to keep a pretty yellow female. Both Uno, and Uno's mother, Oats, were getting up there in years so, Island Dos will continue on for both of them. In 2009 Uno tried a few CPE Agility Trials. We both had a fun time, met a lot of new friends/dogs and earned a lot of "Q's".  Uno even won a title!

We have plans to start trialing again in early 2011. We plan to attend both AKC & CPE events.

NEWS FLASH!!
Uno finished her AKC Open Agility Title on April 23, 2011 at the BOTC Agility trial! It was party time for this 8 yr. veteran!

Harley is our second daughter of Oats. She is the "Hunter" of the group and is all water dog! Mousing, birding and swimming are her first loves in life. She hunts with purpose an never fails to find 'something'. Ask her if she'd like to go swimming and her eyes light up and her hackles get stiff! She just LOVES to swim! Harley's hips are certified "Good", her eyes checked annually.

Harley whelped her 4th litter of pups on Jan. 2, 2011! The proud sire is the handsome Designer's Smokey Quartz. She had 7 healthy pups, 4 Yellows (3 girls & 1 boy) and 3 Blacks (all boys). All have found their Forever homes!

Brie is a smart, quiet dog and a daughter of Island Harley - making her a granddaughter to our dearly departed, Oats. Brie is a sight to behold! She is a quick learner, with a laid back disposition. She is an excellent retriever and enjoys good long swims. She has a pretty head, nice length of neck, correct shoulders, short back and a tail that won't stop wagging! She has matured into a beautiful, very stout dog and weighs in at 58-60 lbs. She is what we were hoping to breed when we first started. Brie loves to 'steal' a toy and adores going for a truck or Prowler ride. She is the watch dog of the group and will alert us to anything that isn't right! Brie was bred to Designer's Smokey Quartz in late Nov. 2010. On Jan.28, 2011. She whelped 7 healthy puppies! There are 6 Blacks and 1 Yellow - 2 Black girls, 4 Black boys and 1 Yellow boy. These pups were very pretty headed, friendly, stocky and extremely smart! All of these wonderful pups have found their Forever homes!
We have plans of breeding Brie back for a 2011 Fall litter.

We didn't need another dog........... but, sometimes you just have to say, oh well! Dos is one sharp looking girl and a daughter of our agility Champion, Island Uno. Dos's sire had an AKC Championship & a Rally Obedience Title. "Drummer", was well known in the show ring. One of the key factors in keeping Dos was the age of her sire and grandmother. We love our "Drummer & Oat" girls and wanted one more!

Dos is a tad bigger than our other yellow girls but is extremely agile. She is the best fetcher and toy 'thief' - which we believe she has learned from her 1/2 sister Harley. Dos loves to swim, go for hunting runs in the fields, adores a truck or Prowler ride and will find an apple that falls from the tree, no matter where it lands. She LOVES her fruit!

Dos will heading into classes for agility early in 2011. She appears to want to follow in her dam's foot steps. We have great hopes for this quick girl. So, sit back and watch this clown of a dog grow.
