Greetings from the Far North!
We live in Fairbanks, Alaska and own both Chesapeakes and Labradors. We got our first Chesapeake in the early 80s and have never been without one! We love to spend time training and running our dogs in AKC field trials and hunt tests. We also hunt our dogs on both waterfowl and upland birds. We are active members of the Fairbanks Retriever Club (FRC) and the American Chesapeake Club. Paula also serves as secretary and webmaster for FRC. We are dedicated to the performance aspects of retrievers and believe that "form follows function". Simply put, we believe that first and foremost, a dog should have intelligence, desire, marking ability, trainability, and style. We also believe that for a dog to perform at his best, he needs to be conformationally correct. We don't claim to be a major player in the dog breeding industry. We simply breed a litter when and if we feel we have a proven dog whose offspring will better the breed. |

Sundogs, also known as mock suns or "parhelia", are a pair of brightly colored spots, one on either side of the sun. They form as sunlight is refracted by ice crystals. They are generally seen in the polar regions. |
