| Our Labs |
| Antler Trails |
| Here at Antler Trails, our labs are our family members. From the time they are young, they are raised in our home. We not only expect them to be good hunting dogs, we expect them to be well mannered house companions too. They live side by side with us. Their hunting abilities in the field come naturally. Our labs are primarily used for upland hunting since they are born natural flushers and their retrieving abilities make our hunting experiences moments to remember. Our lines are from American and British lines, Titled Field Trial or Hunt Test lines, Tournament Hunting lines, and active hunting lines. We personally train and run our own dogs, both for hunting and for AKC Hunt Test Events. |

True to the British standards, he's a gentleman's hunting dog in the field, laid back and calm as a family dog, and shows great drive and style when participating in Hunt Tests. He quarters naturally while hunting and from the time he was a young pup, he delivers to hand beautifully. He has truly been the easiest of our labs to train. Bear acquired his Junior Hunter Title one day after his first birthday in 2007. Bear has a beautiful water entry, he gives it his all! Bear is continuing with his field training, possibly running in Senior Level Tests in 2008.

He is a dark yellow boy, with some of the fox red in his ears, etc. He has the combination of the American and British lab traits. He is always looking for something to put in his mouth to carry around. Camo tends to have a more laid-back personality (British trait) than his littermate Misty. He will be starting his field training this summer, along with obedience training. We look forward to watching this boy grow and mature. |
