GMHRCH WR SR STONY BROOKS TAKE IT TO THE LIMIT MH “MAXX”
Maxx came into our household in July 2015, through a breeding by Travis Lund and Stony Brook Kennels. Most people will tell you that you only get one great dog in your life, I am very lucky in this sense because I got the opportunity to own, train and hunt two great dogs. The first as many will remember was GMHRC Silverbrooks Smoke on the Water MH and now I have GMHRCH Stony Brook’s Take it to the Limit MH.
Maxx is not a flashy retriever; his blue collar work ethic has allowed us to reach the top of NAHRA, his trainability and work ethic has allowed us to achieve many things along this journey. We’ve enjoyed hunting wild pheasants in North Dakota, hunting ducks and geese in Mississippi and Texas. We are looking forward to what the future holds for us.
GMHRCH – MUR I FOWL WEATHER'S BLACK POWDER CHARGE "PRIMER"
Primer had some big shoes to fill following the dogs I have had the pleasure to own and train and the fact that I thought early on he just didn’t have the skills to be a great retriever. Primer often took a backseat to our other dogs but in time, “the quiet man” as I have nicknamed him, blossomed into a great test dog, hunting and home companion. Never flashy, but a consistent and steady performer when called upon. He has filled this hunters’ expectations in the field and the marsh and exceeded them in the test game recently, achieving his 1000 points without a miss! Primer is the 7th dog in his line to earn the GMHRCH title.
At home, he is always upbeat and entertaining, as are most Labs. But when its time for business, he is on it! I guess I am not as good of a judge of dog flesh as I was off the mark with this guy. Patience on my part and his eventual maturity has produced another fine NAHRA retriever.
