Jack has consistently produced his fabulous, congenial temperament, his gorgeous headpiece and expression, strong topline, high intelligence and trainability. His puppies are making wonderful calm family companions and doing very well as hunting companions and in hunt competitions. Some have also done quite well in the show ring. Some have gone on to make wonderful therapy and service dogs as well, and we have donated Jack's semen for producing litters for service dog organizations. A puppy from Morgan's 2011 litter with Jack went to a woman who does search and rescue in Virginia; "Romeo" has been impressing the SAR training group since he started at 5 month, and became a certified SAR dog in December 2013, at 26 months of age. True dual-purpose Labradors! Good boy, Jack! |
"Romeo" and Helene after passing the final certification test for search and rescue on December 22, 2013.
It was a 5 hour test on 160 acres, in downpour rains part of the time. But Romeo found his two subjects in just over 2 hours!
I'm SO proud of Romeo and his owner/trainer/handler Helene Jordan!
This is "Buddy" at 11 weeks (left) and swimming in the pool at about 1 year (right).
I'm so happy to have a Jack son for myself! He is out of Morgan, born Oct. 13, 2011
(Click on Buddy's puppy picture to go to his page. He has sired some nice puppies, several going into training for service dogs.)

When bred to Rosanna, Jack produced some beautiful puppies with the "black & tan" markings.
Although not "correct" by the AKC standard, people loved it.
The puppy on the left is from a 2011 breeding done by Pam Hand; the one on the right, from my 2009 litter.
Apparently both parents carried the hidden gene for this, possibly coming from the famous Franklin's Golden Mandigo,
who was known to produce the black and tan; both Rosanna & Jack go back to him about 6 generations back.
