"Phoenix" is the result of a breeding of a stunning daughter of Am Can Ch CEDARWOODS MASTER GUNNER, W.C. (Can Ch Cedarwoods Ivyhill Absolut) to Am.CH.Langshott Gale Force From Kimvalley ("Garry") who was imported from England at 6 months of age.
With "Absolut's" pedigree very strongly linebred on Black Arrogance, Garry was carefully chosen as an outcross.
Garry is extremely strong for "type"(Head, coat, tail), as well as being very short coupled and with strong bone.
Had become a top producer in the United States for several years, producing labradors who did it all.
Phoenix was first exhibited at 7 months and was selected Best Male over several adults and went on to a Sporting Group Puppy 1st.
A couple weeks later, he received a second Sporting Group Puppy 1st and finished his Canadian Championship a few weeks later.
At the Seattle Kennel Club's very large show in March 2006 and was awarded back-to-back Majors and finished his AMERICAN Championship in early May 2006 !
Phoenix is producing beautiful heads, correct fronts and rears, balanced and fluid movement and very sound labradors.
He has two Champion daughters so far and was recently awarded Best Stud Dog at the Island and Pacific Labrador Retriever Specialty under English breeder-judge Ms.Heather Wiles-Fone.
He has the most wonderful -willing-to-please temperment and both he and his puppies LOVE to hunt! "PHOENIX" was awarded BEST STUD DOG in excellent competition at three labrador specialty shows this past year under respected breeder-judges:
** IPLRC under Mrs.Heather Wiles-Fone (England) ** The Labrador Retriever Club of Canada, NATIONAL under Mrs.Marion Hopkinson (England) and **BCLRC under Mrs. Winnie Limbourne, CA. |
