STRIKE’S breeding includes many of our original dogs, through his grandmother, Haley.  These early sires and dams were instrumental in establishing our current breeding program.  We were able to develop the traits we like and learn which breedings would carry them on more consistently.  Two other important parts of Strike’s pedigree are Twister and Major.  Both were great sires that we were lucky enough to acquire at the right time.  They crossed exceptionally well with our line-up of females to help maintain and even raise the bar on establishing the traits we desire in our line.  Strike has great desire; he loves water work and retrieving.  He is also a joy to hunt upland game with.  He loves to work the cover, yet is easy to handle.  He did a great job in South Dakota this fall.  He worked standing corn, sun flowers and CRP very well and made many challenging retrieves.   

MAJOR has proven himself as a consistent sire of great hunting Labradors .  He has now sired over 30 litters.  He produce prodigy with sensible personalities, great drive to work and to please with good looks and build.  Major has had a tremendous influence on our breeding program over the last several years.  Now his sons and daughters are quickly showing their ability to produce these characteristics into their puppies.   

FC HAWKEYE’S MAJOR DAY earned over 30 all-age points in his trial career.  FC LAKERIDGE’S MAGNUM MIKE earned 60 Derby points and an open win before 2 years old.  NFC SAN JOAQUIN HONCHO earned the Outstanding Sire of Field Trail Retrievers Award from 1983 to 1990.  From 1991 to 1997 two of his sons won this honor.  CAMAY MORNING has 14 all-age points and is a full sister to 9 FC’s  She is by Super Powder  ex  FC-AFC Nakai Anny.  SUPER POWDER was named the Outstanding Sire of Field Trial Retrievers in 1982.  He produced many great dogs including ’80 NFC Risky Business Ruby, ’82 NFC Westwind Supernova Chief and ’87 NAFC Westwind Jemima Super Cake.

LUCY is a perfect example of tremendous desire combined with a pleasant personality.  She is a solid and well built female.  She has also proven to be a very good producer.  Combining these attributes is a major goal in our program.  TWISTER is a well bred Lab with good size and great conformation.  He has produced many excellent litters, with a great desire to retrieve, hunt hard and with pleasing personalities.  Twister's father, TWIST AND SHOUT is an accomplished trail dog, as well as an excellent hunting dog  and a pointing lab.  He has his open win and needs only 1 point to make FC.
