Fletcher is my new male black Labrador retriever. Actually, as I type this, he’s not quite mine yet. He and his brothers & sisters were born on March 8, 2013 and we’re scheduled to pick the little fur ball up in three weeks. To say I’m excited would be a serious understatement.
I’ve started this blog as a kind of journal and record of the adventures Fletcher and I will share. I think it’ll be a fun way of watching him grow and it provides me with plenty of material to write about. Fletcher and I will be sharing our hunting stories with you of course, but we’ll also share the off season stuff including everything from campfires to fishing from the kayak. That's right, I plan on taking a big 70 pound Labrador with me in my kayak. That should prove to be an adventure. Based on my experience of owning my last lab…or him owning me depending on who you ask…I’m sure this blog will provide plenty of entertainment with more than enough humor thrown in.
Fletcher was originally going to be from the same breeder as my last lab, Kody, with Kody’s sister being the mother of my next pup. However, the planned breeding didn’t happen as we thought it would. A bit of research provided me with an ad from Hardy Lake Retrievers for the litter that I’m getting Fletcher from. For those of you who are interested, here is a link showing Fletcher’s father, Hammerin’ Hank…
And here is Hammerin’ Hank’s pedigree…
While I don’t have any link showing pictures of Fletcher’s mom, Wake, here is her pedigree…
While Fletcher will have some good bloodlines that will really fuel his desire to hunt, retrieve and chase birds, I foresee him being an even better best buddy. It’s going to be a long next three weeks.
