Pedigree

Her mom (WR, SR Misty, WC, JH, WCX), half sister (Cali), and her grandma are CHIC'd, meaning they have had extensive genetic testing done on them, and passed all tests.

10-Generation COI: 3.54%. What is this?

Bear is out of WR, SR Misty, WC, JH, WCX and UKC CH Pinafore Winds of Change ("Quigley").

Bear's pedigree is filled with top producing white and silver champions. In order to become a Top Producer, the dog has had to produce at least 3 AKC Champions. Bear loves to retrieve on land, but isn't fond of water, which slowed her progress toward her AKC Junior Hunter title (she did achieve two passes toward that title). She completed her NAHRA Started Hunting Retriever Title at just 13 months of age, sweeping all four NAHRA tests, and qualifying for the Started Brass Band award.

Bear's mom, WR, SR Misty, WC, JH, WCX, completed her North American Hunting Retriever Association Working Retriever title and three passes toward her AKC Senior Hunter title. Then, on January 14-15, 2012, she achieved her first two passes toward her NAHRA Master Hunter title (two more to go). We expect great things from Misty, and while Bear's hunt/field tests are behind her do her dislike of water, she remains a GREAT upland retriever.

In addition to hunting, Bear achieved her UCI National/International Conformation titles, as well as her Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certificate, the weekend of 3/13-3/14/10. She had absolutely no preparation for her CGC. They were conducting evaluations the weekend of the show and Richard decided to give it a try (and she passed).
