Splash of Autumn is our oldest working girl.  We purchased Splash from whom we consider to be one of the best out there breeding Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, Butch Goodwin at Northern Flight Retrievers in Idaho.  Splash is out of a Lad Field Hunter’s Gunner X Northern Flight Slipper Tome “Lucy” breeding.  Gunner is a son of Dual CH, AFC Gambler’s Dilwayn-Stacked Deck MH and Lucy is a daughter of AFC Sly’s Ice MH. You can see Splash's pedigree here: http://w8n4dux.com/pedigree/gunner_lucypedigree.jpg.


We couldn’t be happier with Splash’s performance.  She is 70 lbs. of rock hard muscles.  Her rear legs look like she has dual tires on the back end, which we are told she gets from her father.  Her athletic ability constantly amazes us.  She has always been very trainable, intelligent, and has a nose for birds that is uncanny.  Her heart and desire to retrieve cripples, including the giant Canada Geese we have around here, is inspiring to watch.  She is a great marker and she always wants to sit outside the blind so she can see what is going on.  She is OFA certified GOOD and her eyes are clear. She is also great with our young kids considering it an honor to sleep with our oldest son, Zach.  I have enjoyed the hunting seasons we have had together and consider Splash to be the best hunting dog I have ever owned.

Splash is now retired from breeding but her genetics continue through her offspring and we look forward to offering puppies from her daughter Storm.
