Congratulations! You know TRAD is a fantastic lab but waiting for results must test your patience.
TRAD a daddy? Where has the time gone? Going to be some fantastic pups.
Aye Mates,
TEAM TRAD has been busy with the completion of pre-breeding health clearances to establish TRAD as a healthy sire to stand at stud. In early December, Dr. Ken Malm took samples for submission for genetic testing for both EIC and CNM and as was expected, TRAD tested negative for both. Additionally, TRAD underwent radiographical testing conducted by Dr. Malm to examine for hip and elbow dysplasia the radiograpic images then submitted to OFA for evaluation / certification. I received the results of the OFA evaluations on Monday and TRAD was rated a hips GOOD and elbows as NORMAL.
I have TRAD scheduled for examination by Dr. Sharri Greenberg a veterinary opthamologist for CERF testing on 1/28/16. Providing the examination conducted by Dr. Greenberg confirms TRAD as having no concerns of eye related pathology he will be standing at stud to a yellow female out of outstanding British field performance bloodlines some time in mid-March to early April of 2016. Concurrent examinations and health certifications are being conducted for the intended dam.
We are looking forward with great anticipation for this breeding to produce some really fine British field performance Labrador pups. We are one step closer to that becoming a reality. :-)
HR TTF CRAIGHORN KIFFIN TRAD JH - "TRAD". Outstanding intelligence, great temperment, highly agile K9 athleticism, and incredible field performance has us very optimistic that TRAD will sire some really grand pups.
Wishing all of ye here on Labrador Chat Board a Merry Christmas. Enjoy ye Labs and grand training to ye all!
Cheers,
TEAM TRAD

I'm sure he will be a great "dad". Lol
Yes one step closer. Are you planing on keeping one of his pups
JollyMolly,
I am not keeping a pup from this first breeding. I have a stipulated with the breeder that a a very close friend and gunning partner of mine receive first selection of any female pups in the litter. I may very likely end up being entrusted to train some of the pups. One of them will likely be living with a family just 10 minutes from me home so I will be in the loop on it's ongoing development regularly.
With the intended dam being located here in New England - (New Hampshire) I will get to visit and see the entire litter before they are off to their new homes. :-)
Cheers,

TRAD sounds like such a terrific dog and hunting companion. Best wishes for many generations of TRAD offspring.

“Because of the dog's joyfulness, our own is increased. It is no small gift. It is not the least reason why we should honor as well as love the dog of our own life, and the dog down the street, and all the dogs not yet born. What would the world be like without music or rivers or the green and tender grass? What would this world be like without dogs?”
