Planned Breeding: Copper × 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.
Copper is a proven, elite performance Labrador Retriever whose career reflects consistency, intensity, and trainability at the highest levels of competition. Titled Field Champion (FC), Amateur Field Champion (AFC), and Canadian Amateur Field Champion (CAFC), Copper has demonstrated the ability to compete and succeed under a wide range of judges, conditions, and formats.
On the line, Copper is known for strong natural marking, bold water entries, and the mental toughness required for advanced field work. He combines drive and momentum with a cooperative attitude, making him both powerful and manageable—traits valued by professional trainers and serious amateurs alike.
Beyond field trials, Copper’s genetics lend themselves to high trainability, focus, and problem-solving ability, qualities that translate well to hunt tests, advanced hunting programs, scent detection, and other demanding performance disciplines.
Copper consistently passes on:
Strong marking ability
High drive with biddability
Athletic structure and durability
Mental focus suitable for complex training environments
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:

This makes Babe an integral part of the same proven female line, not simply a complimentary match on paper.
Babe is a proven performance Labrador Retriever whose record reflects consistency, intelligence, and biddability at the Master level. Titled Hunting Retriever Champion (HRCH) and Master Hunter (MH), she has demonstrated the ability to perform reliably across complex test scenarios and demanding training environments.
Babe is known for her trainability, cooperation, and mental steadiness, pairing natural marking ability with a strong desire to work with her handler. She brings a thoughtful approach to the line, handles pressure well, and maintains focus through advanced concepts—qualities that make her a dependable competitor and an enjoyable dog to train and hunt.
In addition to her success in hunt tests, Babe’s genetics and temperament lend themselves well to scent detection, nose work, agility, and other performance disciplines where focus, problem-solving, and athleticism are essential.
Babe consistently contributes:
Trainability and biddability
Mental focus and consistency
Athletic structure and durability
Temperament suited for advanced training and multiple performance venues
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 pairing was selected to combine elite field trial credentials with proven hunt test consistency, producing Labradors with drive, trainability, and mental focus suitable for demanding performance work.
Copper contributes intensity, marking ability, and competitive toughness, while Babe adds trainability, consistency, and biddability proven across multiple Master-level venues. Together, they represent a balanced blend of power and cooperation, with the structure and mindset required for long-term durability.
