Gunner was the foundation dog of our kennel and our first foray into the wonderful world of competitive hunt testing with Labrador Retrievers. He is a dual registered 80 lb. true gentleman with a loving disposition and a heart of gold as big as the State of Texas. Gunner is what every person dreams about when they think of the qualities of a fine companion animal. He is a dream to handle in the upland field as well as a fantastic partner in the marsh. His willing to please attitude, gorgeous brown eyes and puppy face make it hard to ever be mad at him for long!

Unfortunately we learned that Gunner is mildly dysplastic at an early age so we made the decision to neuter him and remove him from our breeding program, therefore we cannot offer him as a stud dog. We continue to hunt him regularly and he is a valued member of our family as well as a top notch retriever!

Baili is a dual registered 65 lb chocolate female who truly lives to spend time in the marsh as well as being an accomplished hunt test dog.

Her loving disposition and calm demeanor make her a true family dog!

Baili is owned by my daughter Brittni who was fortunate enough to obtain Baili through a generous donation to the HRC Youth Retriever Program pup from her angel on earth Deb West of Brownwaterdog Kennels in Waterloo, IL. Words cannot express the gratitude that both Brittni and I hold for Ms. Deb on her generous donation!

Baili completed her HRCH title in 2007 and went on to the third series in the HRC Fall Grand!

Baili is dual registered, OFA excellent, CMN clear, and CERF clear.

Autumn is a 60 lb female black lab with a loving personality and always willing to please attitude. She is a fireball in the field who truly knows how to turn it off when in the house or around small kids. She is a superior lining dog who is honest and dependable on each and every cast. She is as comfortable curled up next to you as she is in the field training or hunting and is truly one of those dogs that we all enjoy being around.

Autumn has attained her AKC Senior Hunter title going by 6 for 6 enroute to completion and has just completed 7 straight Finished passes in a row for her Hunting Retriever Champion title in the HRC as well!

We look for great things from her in the coming year and are happy to welcome her as our newest member here at Cuivre River Retrievers!
