This puppy was purchased at the Union County Duck's Unlimited Banquet on March 16th.  Playing with the canvas bumper and soon will start retrieving.  He will have visits with his new family before he is in his home.  The puppy can't wait to meet his new owners, especially the children..

The puppies are 4 weeks of age, weighing 4+ pounds and running around in their playpen.  They were outside enjoying the nice weather on Friday and enjoying their visits with their new owners.

Bailey and Kierra love having their pictures taken.  The puppies are 3 weeks of age.  They love playing in their larger area (8'x10') and are eating their blenderized puppy food since their teeth are in.  So much fun to play with them and receive the happy kisses.  Click on the picture for a larger view.

The puppies are 2 weeks of age and have their eyes open.  They are walking, love to be held and are enjoying "play time" with us.  Their voices are louder each day.  What a joy to give them love.  

The puppies are 1 week of age and strengthening their little legs so they can walk better.  Next week their eyes and ears will be opening. 

The puppies had their dew claws removed on Day 4 by Dr. LeVan and are doing well.  As they grow, their little tummies get bigger everyday.

The Dam > Hunt's Dottie Brandy Blue
Dottie is a chocolate labrador and the best companion a person could ask for -she is  the daughter of FC-AFC-CFC-CAFC Barracuda Blue, MH.  Cuda is the only FC-AFC and high point All-Age chocolate labrador in AKC field trial history, and all amateur handled.  He was also the first and only chocolate labrador to qualify for the National Amateur Field Trials in '96 and '97.  Dottie is of medium size, the picture on the right is when she was 3 months of age) and resides with our daughter at college most of the time.  Dottie retrieves bumpers and birds, but doesn't get to do much hunting.  Update 2003: Dottie is a certified Therapy Dog for visiting nursing homes, and hospitals for therapeutic visits.  Dottie has been taught several commands in addition to come, sit, and heel,  i.e. "Speak" - she will talk to you with a bark, "Get your bowl" - she will get her doggie bowl and bring it to you to be filled with food, "Sing" - she will sing "I Love You" and loves to play with retrieving balls and bumpers.  Dottie loves the water, as she will go out to exercise and we will always find her in the pond taking a swim when the weather is nice.
