Youngsters

These dogs are too young to have OFA numbers, so are not yet officially part of our program.  When all clearances have been obtained, we will make breeding decisions on them.

CH Flat Castle's Blue Ocean Bayou - Mardi is our second import from the Flat Castle's kennel in Holland.  She is a charming puppy, very pretty on the move, with a lovely head, pretty silhouette, nice bone and a lot of retrieve drive.  She is an eager retriever and swims readily.  Mardi was Best of Opposite Sex at the Maryland Sporting Dog supported entry in March, '11 and also won her sweepstakes class and placed 4th in her regular class at the 2011 national specialty.  She easily finished her championship at 20 months of age with 4 majors.

Bertschire Spellbound - Trance was the only boy in his litter and was a standout from an early age.  He has a lovely head and forechest, with an excellent topline and correct length and depth of rib.  He already carries quite a coat, has gorgeous feet and is a lovely mover from every direction.  He readily swims and retrieves and is a charming young dog with a cute personality.  Trance placed 4th is his 9-12 month puppy class at the 2011 national specialty and has won his first 2 points his first "real" show weekend.

Bertschire Tangled Web - Fib is pictured at 16 months of age.  In very limited showing, Fib has 9 points, including a major. Fib loves to swim and retrieve, and has the topline, ribcage and forechest we hoped to get from her father.  She is very elegant, with a lovely coat and smooth, efficient movement.

Moonstone Absolutely Bertschire - "Onyx" is a lovely girl from a litter by CH Bertschire Independence JH WC x CH Bertschire Honeymoon Magic JH WC.  She has a beautiful silhouette with a prominent forechest, excellent angles, lovely head, bone, topline and is a beautiful mover.  She loves to retrieve and gets along with everyone.  Onyx won a major reserve at her first show weekend.

Bertschire Undeniable - "True" is our pick bitch from her litter.  She is very nearly everything we wanted from this breeding!  She has a gorgeous head, excellent bone, prominent prow, deep in body with correct rib proportion and a lovely topline.  She retrieves readily and shows a lot of promise at just 6 months old.
