Preparing for your puppy and taking the puppy home
Important information about what to look for in a puppy, PLEASE READ even if you are just looking
If the litter you are looking at does not have one EIC clear parent (Exercise Induced Collapse) or if the breeder doesn't even know what EIC even is, you risk getting a puppy that will collapse during hunting or even when excited.
At the end of the article is a link to download the testing requisition.

Markie (Aggie/Goose) to Ben SH Chocolates This litter will be a little more middle of the road, suitable for Gundog -Family Companions but suitable for Hunt Test also
Born Feb 4th
EIC Clear and CNM Clear Litter
$850 Limited Registration, Will take one JIC waitlist for a female
Pups are very dark and have outstanding heads
Ben has great bone, is very dark, and as you can see getting more handsome every year and he also has a pleasing, happy personality. Ben has a lot of natural hunting ability with an outstanding nose, which some times gets him in trouble in competition, but he will not quit until he digs out the birds. He naturally stays close hunting, and is quiet as his sister in the blind. My Ben weighs 82# and is a square dog and looks like a Labrador should but with an all field background. His Pups make excellent hunting dogs, hunt test competitors, as well as family companions. Ben can breed and then gently play with a puppy afterwards, he loves kids, and is very extremely affectionate. Ben is siring some very natural, birdy good looking retrievers just like him. See the 2008 News page. Ben is training for FT and HT, currently running HT. The goal is MH/QAA. He went 5/5 for his Senior title and he is now running Masters. He is linebred on CFC/CAFC Pachanga Magnum Force. His grandmother is my QAA bitch from Pachanga. Ben's siblings are very natural hunters. His father GRHRCH Gator Pt's Magnum Gentle Ben MH,QAA held 3 titles, passed 72 straight hunt tests, and is rated the #3 sire in HRC/UKC history. Gentle Ben's full sister is the only FC/AFC chocolate female in AKC history and has produced many field champions.
This is Markie's second litter. She is a 78# Goose MH daughter, very dark Chocolate, compact and stocky, and looks very similar to her mom Aggie but has a head closer to her grandmother Maggie. Goose MH has tons of desire out of FC/AFC/CFC/CAFC Barracuda Blue MH the only chocolate with all 5 titles and grandfather Cash QAA had Open placements that was Aggie's father. I expect these pups to be good looking, dark, and great family companions and hunters that love to retrieve.

Early Summer
Maggie (Aggie/Ben) to AFC Candlewood's Citizen Smith (Tucker), Blacks and Chocolates due early May, ready end of June. Hunt test, Gundog, active family
First litter for Maggie who is out of Aggie but by Ben. I will be keeping a female out of this breeding. AFC Tucker has his Open Win and needs 2 pts for his FC. He is a 90# beautiful large black who carries chocolate. Maggie is 72#. I can guess these pups would be medium to larger, especially males. Pictures do not do Tucker justice, he a broad head, has big bone, a beautiful tail, and slim but powerful body.

*Limited registration is $100 less than the Full prices. The $100 discount is so that you can use it towards your spay or neuter, if you are not planning on breeding. You may still enter any AKC event except the conformation show ring: that means obedience, agility, hunt test etc. Limited registration can still be converted to full with Hip OFA, & Elbows and CERF; CNM and EIC clearances if necessary at 2 years old plus the $100 and demonstration of responsible breeding knowledge. If the puppy would be CNM and EIC Clear and I know you or you can demonstrate responsible breeding practices, I may issue a full registration. The Power of Attorney on file with the AKC is Kathy Swab at Crosswinds Kennel who will act on my behalf if necessary on Limited Registration conversions. 641-478-3368
Maggie as a puppy
I prefer to sell to homes that do not intend to breed. I will make an exception on an individual basis. Breeding has become very complicated with EIC testing; therefore, all pups will be sold with a limited registration unless I know you. If full registration is desired, and I don't know you as a breeder, you must first obtain the health certifications listed above.
We will not produce EIC or CNM affected pups. An EIC carrier status does not affect their health or working ability, and is only of consequence if you want to breed. All dogs carry recessive genes that are considered Deleterious Mutations. It's like blue eyes are recessive to brown eyes in that you may have blue eyed children if the other parent also has the hidden blue eyed gene or has blue eyes.
For precautionary reasons I no longer allow viewing of puppies before their 1st vaccinations except under special circumstances. There are pictures on the nursery page. The pups are going to change dramatically anyway by the time they are ready. This is being done to protect the health of the puppies, whether people are visiting other kennels or not, and the privacy of the mothers. The stud dogs are protective when there are puppies so I try to keep a calm atmosphere for the Moms.
Pups are picked in order deposit is received at the pick-up date so you will not know "which one" is available.
Pups are born in a whelping box in my computer-TV room so I can keep an eye on them. When they are being weaned they may go to an intermediate area in the basement with a living space and separate potty area and then they are brought outside for outings or play depending on the weather. Some litters are whelped at the homes of the females' families. Pups are home raised, dewormed, vet checked, dews claws removed, first vaccination, well socialized, exposed to feathers, introduced to crates, and microchipped.

Maggie/Cash pups at the vet
During the winter, November-March, I may, at any time, refuse to ship by air unless the buyer flies to Milwaukee and accepts the puppy as a carry-on. This is for the safety of the puppies and because of more frequent cancellations of flights.

Deposits are nonrefundable but may be applied to one other litter; however, I consider the purchase of a dog or puppy to be an adoption. I reserve the right to refuse the sale of a dog or puppy or will return a deposit to any person for any reason including misrepresentation, inappropriate home, or an impaired working relationship between the seller and buyer. Refund will be within 30 days for those reasons only. Although I will try to find the puppy that is a fit for your family, no breeder can make a designer puppy and this is not a store mall. You are adopting one of my babies, and if you don't agree with how I do things, you need to look for another breeder you are comfortable with and agree. All payments for pups to be held or shipped must be paid and cleared one full week prior to the 7 week old date. No shipping in the winter.
