Drake is a big, well-built dog however not too heavy, very athletic and stylish. He has very nice expression with kind, dark brown eyes. Despite her size he is very dynamic, his speed is breath taking however he stops on the first whistle.
He did not show any signs of being an outstanding retriever until the age of 7-8 months old - but since then his carreer has been emerging like a rocket. It turned out that he has excellent style, a lot of natural ability to find game and he has been very easy to train. Drake is our most honest dog - my husband is his leader and despite that he is a green handler they have had success after success from the very beginning.
The most valuable thing in Drake that he is totally under control until asked then he can work on his own when it is needed - there are not many dogs which can achieve this level of "consciousness". For character he is very cool which is a big advantage on Field Trials.
Drake is Optigen PRA clear and also CNM clear so his nice blood-lines can be used with safety. He is siring healthy, good-looking, easy-to-train pups with the same nice expression on the face, like this 9 months old youngster below. His puppies are reaching very good placements on Wokingtests and Cold Game Tests, a puppy in Norway won the Derby this year.
