Texas Duck Chasers

We said goodbye to one of the greats this past weekend, our sweet Ryder. She gave us 14 amazing years of countless retrieves, numerous ribbons, 3 beautiful litters and endless couch snuggles. She was one of the hardest working dogs we’ve had, whether at a hunt test or in the duck blind, she knew when it was time to work and loved her job. We traveled all over Texas, working our way from AKC Junior to Master & UKC Started to Finish, all while loving every minute of it. Ryder will be missed tremendously but she is now running free with all the ducks and bumpers she can retrieve🐾

We have a new student in class! Duke is here to learn some manners and better his obedience. He’s off to a great start🐾

We have about 2 weeks until we can check for those precious puppy heartbeats! Send Ruca all the love and positive vibes for growing those babies💜🐾🤞

We have officially bred Ruca to Luke! 🎉 This is a repeat breeding that will produce some fantastic pups. Their first litter was off the charts from looks, intelligence, drive, and temperament. We do have a waitlist started with limited availability, so please don’t hesitate to reach out if you’re interested.

We also want to give a big thank you to Kay Scott with Yellow Rose Labradors for having Luke available for us again. He’s such a solid stud!

For now, send some positive vibes to Ruca and ask Mother Nature to be in our favor🤞 We will confirm pregnancy mid February!

Happy Labrador Day! 🐾 Although it’s Labrador Day 24/7 around here😆 Ruca still declared that everyone gets extra snacks today!

Let’s see those beautiful Labradors! ⬇️

P.S
Who wants a Ruca puppy? 🐶

We have a new student in the house! Maggie is here to start her training career🐕 She’s going to work on her leash walking, no jumping/mouthing, and all the other puppy behaviors that come with a 3 1/2 month old. She’s the sweetest little fluff ball we’ve had in a while! Stay tuned to see her progress 🐾

I don’t think Zena enjoyed her Christmas photoshoot as much as I did. She was a great sport though! 😂

Who else takes Christmas photos with their pets? 🎄🎅✨🎁

Mr. Marsh is back for a little visit. He settled right back into the swing of things 🐾

Someone was caught peeking at the set up😂

Labradors are the best! 🐾🏄

Our girl Missy (Zuri x Gr**go 2021) helped raise Peter the cat and they have grown inseparable over the years. They love to sleep together! Anybody else’s dog have a best friend of another species? 🐈🐾
