Our Dams

Our dams are the heart of our breeding program. We select females based on their health, temperament, and working ability. Our dams are not only accomplished performers in the field but are also loving and loyal companions at home. Each of our dams brings something special to the table—whether it’s their natural retrieving instincts, intelligence, or overall loving nature.
