Our History and Retirees

Good Golly Miss Molly XXI was our beginning and our foundation at Gun River. Molly was from a combination of field and show breedings. Molly was bred to FC Skycrest's Jettin' Josh, a stocky black field trial champion. This breeding produced MHR Gun River's Pahasapa TazDevil MH and Gun River's Dakota Slate SH. Slate was retired early when a dear friend lost his hunting dog and needed a good friend and hunting partner. Slate was adopted by Jim Landon in Kennewick, WA and lived the rest of his life retrieving hundreds of birds on the Columbia River. Taz was Archie's hunting dog, our companion and most importantly she was Archie's guardian angel. Taz saved Archie's life on an ill-fated duck-hunting trip. All three of these great dogs conformed to the standard of our national Labrador Retriever Club, Inc. All three dogs were exceptional hunters, family members, all had OFA good hips and all had ACVO eye clearances for their entire lifetimes.
Taz was bred to AFC Hiwood Apache, a beautiful black Amateur Field Champion out of the same lines of the last Dual AKC champion, Hiwood Shadow.
This breeding gave us Gun River's Rooster Cogburn CD MH CGC WCX

Int'l CH Ridge View At Gun River S.H. (Call name “Ridge.”)
Ridge was a product of our search for a dog from all show lines that had drive and retrieving desire. Ridge was from a litter bred by Donna Reece at Ridge View Labradors. Ridge retired from the show ring with 13 AKC championship points. One of those wins was a 5-point Major. Ridge also earned 3 Master Hunter qualifying scores. Ridge was a beautiful dog with a passion for birds, fun, and bouncing!
