Parker to Molly will be my premiere breeding of 2024.  Parker the Russian Import Labrador has two UKC Started Hunter passes under his belt, and is AKC Show Pointed.  He is an excellent representation of the dual purpose Labrador, with his specialty body type (thick and chunky) and his high retriever drive, he really can do it all!  Parker has a very eager to please and personable temperament, my favorite trait about him is that he is always happy, not just content, but HAPPY!  He is happy he woke up this morning, happy he saw you, happy you love him, happy he has toys, just happy to be alive! I acquired Parker in January of 2023, I had trained him previously for his then owner and fallen in love with him.  When I found out he was being re-homed I jumped at the opportunity to bring him in to my home and the program!  Since I got Parker at age 7 we are a little behind the curve on achieving titles, but we are working towards it currently.  Even if this boy never puts any letters behind or in front of his name, those who have met him and gotten a chance to know him know that he is really something special! 

Molly has a very similar set of outstanding qualities, which is why I think they will produce consistent high quality puppies.  You breed balance to balance to achieve balance- if you put two dogs together whoa re very different you will get a lot of different puppies with different combinations of personality traits, temperament and or looks.  Molly and Parker are similar in build- they are of the thicker, move over- done, specialty type. They both have the happy go lucky, silly personalities.  Molly is one of the silliest and funniest girls in our home, she regularly gets excited and does zoomies, she loves to wrestle and play with our other girls and she especially loves to play with the kids!  Every day is Molly's best day!  But, put her on a leash and tell her it's time to work and Molly becomes one of the most obedient dogs in my group!  Molly has one UKC started Hunter pass, and one AKC Rally Obedience pass where she took first place in her class.  Molly and Parker are both consistently favorites in our Therapy Dog program at Still Creek Ranch, as they are often the first to be chosen.  Their silly, funny and happy temperaments are attractive to the kids, but both dogs do their very best to listen and honor the kids when they ask them to work.  I expect this breeding to produce intelligent, HAPPY, eager to please, intelligent and highly driven puppies who would make excellent Service, Therapy, Gundog and Family Companion and Conformation candidates. They should produce a black and yellow litter, with varying shades of Fox Red.
