This is a true throwback breeding-built on the backs of the greats and aimed at those who remember when a retriever was more than just a title chaser. This pairing brings together two dogs bred not just to pass tests, but to go hard every day in the field, then lie quietly at your feet at night.

GRHRCH McCabes Spring Lake Dude MH QAA  x   HRCH Slide Over Babe MH

DUDE has been gone for 15 years. He was a dark yellow and 80 pounds, he was field bred and had excellent trainability. He had 14 straight passes and was a Master Hunter at 30 months old. Dude was Back-to-Back-to-Back on Grand passes and achieved his GRHRCH title at 44 months old. He Qualified for Master Nationals in 2002 and 2003 and proved a superior marker. Excellent liner that was eager and willing on blinds. He lived out his life as a house dog and he throws dark true yellows. Dude was the kind of yellow  male we don’t see much anymore – big motor, big brain, steady as a rock, and honest as the day is long. He throws dogs that mark naturally, dig deep in cover, and hit the water like they mean it. His pedigree reads like a history book: Abe’s Ebony and Ivory, Honest Abe, Harley To Go, Lean Mac, Trumarc’s Zip Code-dogs that shaped the breed, not just filled a slot in a program.

BABE is cut from the same cloth. She’s a field-bred yellow female with excellent hips, full health clearances, and the grit to match her polish. She’s been there, done that, and still wants more. From Pin Oak’s Texas Rex to Candlewood’s Ramblin Man, her bloodlines are stacked with dogs that knew how to get the birds in the bag and still had enough in the tank to make a clean pass in the fourth series. 

These pups won’t be for everyone. But if you long for a time when Labradors were built to work, with heart, stamina, brains, and style, you may want to pay attention. This breeding is for folks who still hunt every fall, who train year-round, and who know that a good dog doesn’t just carry a title-it carries a legacy.
