This is Nigel an AKC Champion who has been to Westminster... he was the sire of our first litter with Haleyin 2009. He is now 12 years old and still loves to be in the ring... just look at the smile on his face as he gaits around the ring with his handler.

Lola's first day back in the ring after a layoff...

Lola looks absolutley beautiful, Rebecca has her stacked and shows off her topline and chest.

Rebecca did a great job getting Lola ready
for the ring, we brought her down late
Friday and by Saturday moring she was
looking like she never left the ring, her first place ribbon in the class proves that.

Lola and Rebecca above right go up against Sarah and Marjorie from Quailwood Retrievers... she also owns Nigel who sired our first litter in 2009.

No Lola was NOT sticking her tongue out
at the judge, she was happy to win
first place in her class. She's looking
foward to better results ahead

Sunday Lola was a little more work and was lazy in the ring. So she managed only a second place ribbon in her class. Still not a bad start.

This is Storm from Quailwood Retrievers, we hope to breed him with Lola at some point in the future.

Of course Storm MIGHT have been the reason
Lola was distracted... it was love at first sight.
