Kate comes from proven parents. Her sire is a NAVHDA Utility Prize 1 dog with AKC show points as well. He will be running in the 2010 NAVHDA Invitational. Her dam, LeeLoo, was trained and handled in two NAVHDA Utility tests and the 2009 Invitational by Sydney Lieffort, then only 14 years old. LeeLoo earned a maximum 204 points prize 1 in both Utility tests.
At 16 weeks old Kate is a determined little dog. She's a natural retriever picking up everything in her path and carrying it around. In one weekend she was introduced to birds, horses and water. She was pointing her birds with style and leaping with reckless abandoned in the water. I have big expectations for her but she will deliver!
Kate is showing tremendous water desire at 17 weeks old. She was the "pickup dog" at the Rocky Mountain NAVHDA Natural Ability test picking up bumpers from the water that the dogs did not retrieve. She enters water independently and searches once even swimming a third of the way across 150 yards of open water.
At 19 weeks, Kate has been racing me in a kayak across 70 yards of open water and searching cattails for ducks. She spent 12 minutes chasing a diving duck with an older dog. Once the older dog caught the duck she promptly took it from her and continued to swim back across the lake with it. She has amazing independence and curiosity.
