Blue was the second puppy born out of the April 2010 Bob x Vida litter. We picked her for her boldness, independence, beautiful black roan coat, and various other reasons better explained by two grade-school aged kids. Like all of the other pups from that litter, she was well-suited to the family that picked her and in many ways she picked us too. We miss Bluey and are so lucky to have gotten to spend almost 15 years with her.
From her earliest days in the whelping box, Blue was the puppy that found her own quiet space and was first to seek out the crate on her own. In terms of natural abilities, Blue was a good expression of our breeding goals: confident, great nose, high prey drive, stylish points, a natural retriever, bold in the water, and one of the sweetest dogs we've ever had.
