Drake, a 72 pound black mass of solid, rippling muscle, is a hunting professional!!  Drake's total Canadian goose retrieves as of the beginning of the 2005/06 Idaho Goose Hunting season   is an amazing 2,112 geese!!  He has tremendous ability to hunt from daylight to dusk, day in and day out, as evidenced in Idaho's 1999 bird season when Drake hunted 134 days out of a possible 137 days!  In Drake's hunting career, he has hunted, pointed and retrieved hundreds of wild ring -necked pheasant, Hungarian partridge, sharp-tailed grouse, blue grouse, sage grouse, chucker, and mourning dove. He is extremely intelligent, sensitive, big-hearted and is an excellent family pet as well as a dependable, eager hunting partner. 

Drake earned his AKC Senior Hunter title in May of 2004, a tremendous accomplishment considering the fact that he was 6 1/2 years old before he was even entered into an AKC Hunt Test.  Also--he was never force fetched nor taught to "hold".  He possesses a burning desire to retrieve!  Drake obtained his APLA Certified Pointer title at 21 months of age.  Justin is Drake's trainer and handler.

On March 30th, 2002, Drake placed Second in the Adult Division of a "Mock" Shoot to Retrieve Trial put on by the Southern Idaho Pointing Dog Association held at the Hagerman, Idaho, Wild Game Management area.  Out of a total of 28 pointers (including some field trial pointers) Drake was the only Labrador.  In his brace, Drake ran against an English Pointer field trial champion!

Drake truly has an outstanding pedigree full of the best of both world's - APLA Pointing Labrador Champions as well as AKC Field Trial Champions and Master Hunters.  However, the most important aspect to us has been, and always will be, Drake's outstanding hunting desire and performance in the field.
