Buy labrador retrievers references

I thought I would share with you some pictures. One of which is Mallie with her first quail. We took her out for a little while and she flashed pointed then flushed this quail. We were only out for a little while and she found three quail and retrieved them. Brittany and I could not be happier with her especially for being only only 5 months old. Thanks for a great dog. Steve Temple.

We LOVE River! She is beautiful loving and smart and is housebroken and doesn't chew, she retrieves and swims and even sings--and she is so easy to train--it is like a dream. Keep up the good work. We will keep in touch with you for our next dog in a couple of years or so. Thanks! Joni Bohne

Just wanted to let you know that Cooper continues to be an awesome pup. He is 11 weeks old now and has been retrieving live and dead young pheasants for 2 weeks now. He loves to retrieve and works hard to find the bird in the thick stuff. Very good at using his nose already. Cooper went swimming for the first time today and within 5 minutes he was jumping off the dock like an old pro. Thanks again for this dog. I think he is going to be ready to get me some birds this fall at the rate he has been learning. Best of wishes Dave and Shannon Pleoger

Hey guys, I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know I couldn't be happier with Tanker! I'm Troy Thompson from Ohio. I bought Tanker from you guys in Dec. 05
from Drake & Lacey breeding. You sent him to me on a plane to Cin. Remember? Tanker has been to Iowa pheasant hunting and ducks and geese here in Ohio. He has about 30 live retrieves this year. (worst duckseason I can remember in 20 years! It was 50 - 60 degrees all winter andthe ducks never flew south and stayed up on Lake Erie all year!) I recently joined a hunting retriever club and plan on taking Tanker as far as he can go! He has great marking ability and the most intense retrieving desire I have ever seen in any dog! Not to mention a fantastic water entry! Troy Thompson

Hi Linda and Steve

Just thought I'd drop you a note to say Happy New Year!

Earl is growing like a weed (not real sure how much he weighs because our bathroom scale won't handle him and me at the same time!). He's going to be big (big already). He must be 70+ lbs already.

Earl is VERY teachable/biddable. Earl is gentle, happy, obedient (for a puppy) and a whole lot of fun. His basic obedience (sit, stay, come, down, heel, "go to your mat", etc.) - very very good! He loves to please and is a real clown. He is retrieving well (basically, I try to keep it real fun at this stage - more serious training down the line). I am very very happy with Earl!

We have about 2 feet of snow on the ground - real winter this year for us! A big storm is coming this week.

Best Regards

Tom Grabowski (& Duke of Earl)

Sorry I took so long to respond. Just didn't check the e-mail at home this week.

It is always bad luck to brag about your dog, but I have found Delta to be fantastic. I am a die hard waterfowler, and Delta has performed tremendously for me for the past two seasons, and she hasn't even turned 2 yet. I've also started hunting pheasants more because it is just so much fun to hunt with her. She has a very strong hunting drive, stamina, and enthusiasm, but she has also proven to be a very smart and loving family dog. My wife had never had dogs before and she just loves her- they snuggle every night watching TV.

I came across Torgs through the stud they hired, Rex from Pete Fischer's kennel. However, after checking out their dames I was pretty impressed.

I guess the best reference I can give is that my dad (and hunting partner) is starting to consider starting a dog behind his beloved yello lab Ginger, and he has told me he intends to go to Torgs because he is so impressed by my dog. Ginger (9 yrs old) doesn't even do water retrieves for us anymore because Delta does it all, and Ginger saves her energy for pheasants and sharptails, her true loves.

I feel pretty lucky to have come across Delta.

OK, enough gushing about my dog. Good luck!

I just returned from a months pheasant hunt in SD. We shot somewhere between 60 and 70 birds. The boys (son-in-laws and grandsons) will continue to hunt.

Anyway, Cinder did a fantastic job. She was a retrieving machine, trailed and brought back cripples and has an excellent nose. She will not quit and just loves it. Has a lot of stamina and never seemed to tire. She did one trail on a cripple that was a good 200 yards and when I last seen the bird it was jumping in the air trying to fly. She brought it back with the bird looking around like he was on some sort of ride, never put a mark on it or any others for that matter.

Easton is doing phenomenal.  We are so impressed and extremely attached

to his guy.  He is so intelligent and is a comic. He loves kids and we

take him everywhere. He has been to every hockey game, baseball game and

football game around.Kids remember him when we go!!  He is an expert

fisherman.  I am a teacher so I was off all summer. He spent his days

fishing in the lake. He chases fish from sun up to sun down.  In his spare

time he keeps the chipmunks in hiding.  We love to watch him fish!! He

loves the ski boat and riding on the 4-wheeler.

The kids have him doing crazy tricks like shake, high five and roll over.

He sticks like glue with the kids.  We are sure lucky to have this

wonderful dog.  We cannot say enough about his personality!!    He is

getting big, but still thinks he is a lap dog.

Jared and Craig have been working hard training him and he was very quick

to get the basics.  They took Easton duck hunting this weekend expecting

to take it easy since he is just a pup. Easton retrieved 9 ducks in the past

two days and Craig said that with each retrieve he got better and better.

They are pretty proud!!

We just wanted to tell you what a wonderful family member Easton is and what

a fantastic dog he is.  He sure is loved (and spoiled)!!

Thanks so much!  Hope to hear from you sometime.

Melanie, Craig, Jared, Taylor and Easton Hansen
