Other Information about litter:
2 Puppies Available — HRCH Crane Meadows Ain't Nothin' But a 'G' Thang MH QA2 ("Waggs") × HRCH Platte River's Pride Charlie ("The Chocolate Rocket")
These puppies are backed by one of the most impressive pedigrees you'll find — with over 50 titled dogs across 5 generations, including multiple National Field Champions (NFC), National Amateur Field Champions (NAFC), Field Champions (FC), Amateur Field Champions (AFC), Master Hunters (MH), Hunting Retriever Champions (HRCH), and Hall of Fame inductees. This is a pedigree built on generations of proven performance at the highest levels of both the hunt test and field trial worlds.
About the Dam — "The Chocolate Rocket" Charlie is exactly what her nickname suggests: a high-octane, all-chocolate missile. She gives 150% on every single retrieve — whether she's burning across the field on the way out or blazing back with the bird. She is an exceptional marker who reads falls naturally and handles multiple marks with confidence. Her drive, athleticism, and nose make her the kind of dam that stamps her pups.
About the Sire — Waggs (HRCH MH QA2) Waggs has proven himself in both the qualifying stakes and the hunt test world, earning his HRCH, Master Hunter, and QA2 titles. What makes Waggs special isn't just the hardware — it's how he got there. He is 100% amateur trained, a testament to his intelligence, biddability, and trainability. Waggs is a dog with a great temperament and is a true teammate — the kind of partner that makes every hunt better.
What to expect in these pups: Drive, marking ability, and a work ethic that doesn't quit — paired with the trainability and temperament that makes a great hunting partner or competitive hunt test dog. Whether you're looking for your next serious hunting Lab or a dog to compete with, this litter has the genetics to deliver.
Health clearances on both parents — OFA hips, eyes, EIC, and CNM on file.
