Planned Breeding: Coupe × Babe
This breeding was planned with one objective in mind: to consistently produce high-end performance Labradors with the speed, marking ability, trainability, and durability required to succeed at the highest levels of the sport. Every aspect of this pairing was selected to reduce guesswork and reinforce what has already proven itself in competition.
Coupe is a proven producer, not just a dog with an impressive pedigree. Most notably, he is the sire of GRHRCH Sycamore’s American Muscle MH MNR (“Judge”), a dog that exemplifies the traits we value most—natural marking ability, competitive drive, composure under pressure, and the mental and physical durability to perform at the Grand and National level.
Just as important as Judge’s success is the broader consistency of Coupe’s offspring. Dogs from this line have demonstrated elite athleticism, sound structure, and versatility, with littermates excelling not only in field competition but also at the highest levels of other performance disciplines. This confirms that Coupe reliably passes on correct structure, athletic movement, and strong nerves—foundational traits that matter regardless of venue.
From a pedigree standpoint, Coupe represents a deep concentration of proven FC/AFC bloodlines known for speed, trainability, and long-term soundness. Combined with strong health clearances and a demonstrated ability to reproduce, Coupe brings a high level of predictability to this breeding.
Babe brings balance, stability, and maternal strength to this pairing. She is a talented performance female in her own right and, critically, she is a daughter of Rox, the dam that also produced Judge. This makes Babe an integral part of the same proven female line, not simply a complimentary match on paper.
This breeding was designed to reinforce both sides of the pedigree that produced Judge, strengthening the genetic influences that have already resulted in elite performance. Babe contributes strong marking ability, trainability, and mental steadiness—traits that are essential for producing dogs that can progress beyond early success and continue to perform at advanced levels.
Her pedigree complements Coupe without excessive concentration, maintaining a low coefficient of inbreeding while still reinforcing proven producers. Babe also brings excellent structure, soundness, and temperament, making her an ideal foundation female for a performance-driven program.
Under the expert guidance of Scott Greer and his team at North Fork Retrievers in Tennessee, Babe has proven her ability to compete among the best—and her pups will be equally impressive.
Her accomplishments speak for themselves:
HRCH title earned at just 26 months old
Advanced to the 3rd series in her first HRC International Grand
MH Title at just 34 Months old
This is not a speculative cross. It is an intentional reinforcement of a proven producing line.
By combining:
A sire that has already produced a GRHRCH MH MNR
A dam from the same maternal line
Deep FC/AFC lineage
Strong health clearances
A conservative coefficient of inbreeding
…this breeding prioritizes consistency, predictability, and long-term success over novelty or hype.
Buyers can reasonably expect puppies from this litter to display:
High natural athleticism
Strong marking instincts
Competitive drive without chaos
Trainability suitable for serious amateur and professional programs
The physical and mental durability to compete, hunt hard, and excel over time
This breeding is ideal for:
Serious amateurs pursuing Master, Qualifying, or Grand levels
Professional trainers looking for derby and all-age prospects
Performance-driven hunting homes seeking elite natural ability
This is not a casual or pet-only breeding. These puppies are bred to work, compete, and perform.
At Sycamore Kennels, we believe great dogs are not accidents. This planned breeding reflects our commitment to thoughtful, intentional decisions backed by proven results. Our goal is not just early success, but dogs capable of finishing—and standing the test of time.
