Roy is simply a wonderful dog. He is a very gentle dog with a sweet disposition, a wonderful companion dog, very affectionate, and very easy to be around. He is not demanding at all. However, his calm demeanor belies his outstanding prey drive and hunt drive. Roy is relentless on birds and makes jaw-dropping retrieves. He is a strong swimmer and great at marking fallen birds. He is a handsome dog, a deep golden yellow color with reddish tones, with a handsome head and athletic build. He is about 68 pounds. Roy has hunted ducks, geese, pheasants, grouse, and wild chukar in several different states and of course has excelled in hunt tests. He made a 300-yard retrieve on a crippled goose last fall that had all 8 guys in a pit blind speechless. We’ve had a lot of Labs over the years, and Roy is one of our all-time favorites. EIC and CNM “clear”, OFA “good” on hips and “normal” on elbows. |
