Meet the Sycamore Dams

Meet Babe – A Lightning-Fast Retriever with Unmatched Drive

Babe is the next generation of excellence at Sycamore Kennels, coming from the elite pairing of FC AFC Pinoak’s Texas Rex x HRCH Rox MH. Like her dam, Babe is a super stylish, flashy, and no-nonsense working dog with incredible marking ability and unmatched speed.

Her talent was undeniable from an early age, earning her HRCH title at just 26 months old—a clear sign of her natural ability and work ethic. She quickly proved herself at the highest levels, advancing to the third series of her first HRC International Grand, demonstrating that she has what it takes to compete against the best.

Under the expert guidance of Scott Greer and his team at North Fork Retrievers in Tennessee, Babe is honing her skills and proving herself as a serious competitor. With her speed, precision, and natural instincts, Babe is destined to leave her mark in the field.

Meet Rox – The Lightning-Fast Retriever with a Legacy of Excellence

Rox is nothing short of a 55-pound pocket rocket, bursting with style, speed, and intensity. A super flashy worker, she demands precision from her handlers—because when Rox is locked in, you better be quick on the whistle!

A no-nonsense retriever, Rox has proven her skill time and again. After earning both her HRCH and MH titles, she went on to compete in the Amateur division of the Super Retriever Series, finishing in the Top 10 with a novice owner-handler—a testament to her natural drive and raw talent.

Beyond her accomplishments, Rox carries a tremendously versatile pedigree packed with Master Hunters, Agility Champions, Competitive Obedience, and Detection Dogs. Her dam was the daughter of the legendary HOF 2XNAFC FC Candlewood’s Ramblin Man and full sister to FC AFC National Derby List, National Amateur Finalist, and Minor Stake Double Header Winner – Badger State Ram Kicker. Rox has passed on her brilliance, with 26 of her 31 pups now thriving in competition homes.

 Meet Betti - Sycamore's Whoa Back Yetti "Betti" is a young, promising female Labrador Retriever just beginning her basics under the guidance of seasoned trainer Todd Rees. Bred with intention and rooted in excellence, Betti carries the legacy of some of the most decorated names in the game.

Her sire, FC AFC J&C's Another Round in the Chamber, brings competitive fire and proven performance, while her dam, Sassy's Keeping It Cool Yeti MH, adds brains, birdiness, and composure. Go back just three generations, and you’ll find a hall-of-fame caliber lineup including NAFC FC AFC Mulligan Off The Rainy T JH, '11 NAFC FC AFC Cody Cut A Lean Grade, 2005 NFC AFC Clubmead's Road Warrior (2014 Retriever Hall of Fame), and '10 NFC-FC-AFC Hunter Runs Booboo—all names synonymous with grit, drive, and championship-level success.

With a keen eye, sweet disposition, and all the right instincts, Betti is showing early signs of being something special. We believe she’s not just a pup with potential—she’s one to watch rise through the ranks.
