OFA: excellent
Cerf:CB-5934
PRA: A-1
DM: A/A

Bear is the dog that really got me into training (he is amature trained), he made me think I might be a good trainer when in fact he is just a special dog that makes me look good. At first Bear was just a hunting dog, until I got talked into running him in hunt test. He had picked up close to a 1,000 wild birds before his first HT (I do a little guiding), he was not FF'ed and never saw a mark over 50yds till he was over two years old. The adjustment from hunting to HT was a little hard at first, lots of bad habits were picked up from hunting, cheating and breaking mostly. It would be neat to see were he’d be if he had good early training.
Bear has done well in HT but hunting is were he really shines he has picked up close to 2,500 birds. He is bird crazy and has a nose that is better then I‘ve seen on any retriever. As good as he is waterfowl hunting he might be even better in the uplands, he’s a pheasant machine.
We will start running Bear in MH test and qualifyings this coming spring.
Negative Brucellosis test required.
