Jesse is a wonderful girl who is a real team player with lots of drive, but also settles down quickly onto her spot on the sofa. She is a real tomboy and is a dream to train for hunt tests and obedience. She is very biddable and learns quickly.
Although Covid and having babies has made it very difficult to attend hunt tests and obedience trials, she continues to advance in her training. As a hunting partner, she excels at marking falls, has a soft mouth and has begun to handle for blind retrieves. She is also just about ready to enter the obedience ring at the Novice level, and we are looking forward to that next adventure in spring/summer 2022.
She is small – 19″ at the withers and 52lbs, with a beautiful head, great conformation and moves well. Beautiful and brains – the total package!
Her first litter born May 8, 2021 was 5 puppies – 3 of which were placed in performance homes. The other two are wonderful pets. The owners of all the puppies are very happy with their pups. Her second litter produced 7 boys!!! They were born November 20, 2021 and we already see lots of promise in these guys.
Here is Jesse’s second run at the Labrador Owner’s Club Fun Match on March 13th.
Jesse and I attended an Obedience Sanction Match on Friday, April 15, 2022 and these are her scores! In case you don’t want to download the file, the scores were 196.5 and 197.5 respectively. A perfect score is 200, so I am thrilled with her work!
