Tory is a outstanding black female who is currently in training for AKC/UKC hunt Tests. Overall, she totals 175 HRC Points passing 16 of 18 HRC regular tests overall. I have said it often, Tory is the kind of dog that every trainer wants to have: talented, a pin point marking dog, trainable, handles pressure, and consistant - day in and day out.

But she isn't just a hunt test dog who looks good at the tests, she also has a nose for birds. Tory is one of our favorite dogs to hunt with, whether in the upland pastures, duck marshes, or the goose fields. The reason for it is simple: She knows where the birds are, and for upland, how to get them up. You can aways count on her to find them, you don't have to cover a field twice.

Tory is also the super dog to have in the duck boat or goose dog blind - she thrives on retrieving running honkers or crippled ducks. But although she excels most while retrieving in the field, she is still a excellent house dog and one of the kid's favorite dogs to just "play" with. Tory weighs a solid 70 lb. and carries a lot of muscle.

As a producer, she has been bred twice. Once to HRCH "Morgan" MH at Blindfaith Retrievers in IL. Those pups really turned out nice, will be 2 yrs in April(2010). One has his HR title, another has Started passes and will be running Finished tests in 2010. These were the only two pups in Competition homes, but other pups are doing just as well as hunting retrievers and owners are extremely happy with them.
The other breeding was to GRHRCH UH "Cody" MH, from Blue Sky Retrievers in MI, whelped Dec 21, 2008. Those pups are just under a year, and we have had outstanding results from the breeding. Two of the pups ran Started this fall and each went 2-2, one of them also earned a JH pass as well. Koda, a yellow male made a visit to Canada this fall and picked up around 100 birds! Not bad for a 10 month old pup!  His littermate brother is also working as a guide dog up there at about the same time and picked up nearly 500 birds in 3 months, while being perfectly steady! There is another black male that will be running some Started and Seasoned tests next spring as well.
