Here are a few photos of  "Rip-N-Trieve Lucky Thunder JH". he is out of Mergansers Classic Rip-n-tear MH x Trieven Snickers born 09-21-01. Thanks to your excellent breeding program Rip Jr. is the best dog I have ever had. He accomplished his junior hunter title at 1 year and has retrieved over 60 ducks and flushed and retrieved over 80 pheasants. We will hopefully be running him in Seniors this year.

I did all the training myself, which was fun and rewarding, but without his great disposition and intelligence I could have never done it. I get compliments every day on him, and people always ask "how did you get such a well mannered chocolate". And when I tell them his age they about hit the floor. He is a quiet dog which is great, because most dogs I run across whine in their kennels and out in the duck blind. Rip is about 75 Lbs. and can hunt all day, even in the hot California summers. Thanks for such a wonderful companion.
