Here they are....

These guys are all sibs and are neutered or spayed. They are, however, the dogs that inspired us to become passionate about labs. We learned a lot from these dogs, not only the good stuff, but the sad stuff. And we are still learning.

If you don't think it's necessary to do all the genetic testing that responsible breeders do or if you think you shouldn't have to worry about that because you are just getting a 'pet', . . . Think Again! We invite you to Check out Cody's Story. We've spent thousands of dollars finding out exactly how important it is to do genetic screening and to breed carefully and responsibly.

Cody

Shadow

Gypsy

DOB-12-20-91

Cody is the clown of our crew. He has been a joy and a challenge to train. Cody, Shadow and Gypsy are littermates and Cody is the proof that littermates can have VERY different personalities! He is the first dog I have put a CDX on and he taught me so much during our years trying to train. He is the reason we looked into the Motivational Retrieve. Cody would shut down very easily, so we wanted an alternative to the ear pinch. That method worked exceedingly well and retrieving was the least of our worries in Open; he never failed to retrieve the dumbbell. Now, the drop on recall is another story! Oh, well... I LOVE this dog. He is the kindest, most loyal and loving dog I have known.

Cody had a hip replacement in January of 1999 and, after some setbacks, made a triumphant return to the obedience ring in Sept. at our clubs show, competing in Veterans Open and, with his brother, Shadow, and pseudo-sister, Shiloh, in the Team Competition. Read more about Cody's hip replacement and how it all came about. Cody has also had an epsode with seizures since the surgery and is now on Phenobarbitol, which has prevented further seizures.

"Shadow"

SR Broadway's Midnite Shadow CDX, JH, WC, CGC

(Broadway's Shadow x Willowcreeks Roc N Ace)

DOB-12-20-91

Shadow is our theme dog, I guess. He is a beautiful dog even though he is not show material. He also has the drive and trainability that a lab should have. Along with a good temperament and brains, Shadow is a great example of what a lab is all about. Shadow earned his NAHRA Started Retriever title in September of 1998. As well as obedience and hunting, he has dabbled in Tracking, Agility, and has worked as a Therapy Dog. Shadow was trained to his CDX by Jim and won his title at the Hoosier LRC's 1st Specialty in March of 1997. What made that even more special was that Shiloh won her CD title there too! To top it all off, they each took 1st place in their classes!! With his first JH pass at the '98 LRC National, Shadow wrapped it up the following year at the '99 National. Shadow never started training for hunt tests until the age of 6. Now his hip dysplasia prevents him from going on in his field training. We are unable, at this time, to fund the cost of replacement surgery for Shadow.

"Gypsy"

Great Jump n Gypsy Pacer CD, CGC

(Broadway's Shadow x Willowcreeks Roc N Ace)

DOB-12-20-91

Gypsy is mostly a homebody. She hates car rides, even though she has a great time when we get to the lake! After earning her CD title in '94 Gypsy retired from obedience to concentrate on more important things, like chasing balls!! She hated obedience and now lives the good life being the official face-licker and trouble-maker of our home.
