Harry was born August 21, 2002 at Starquest Labradors, owned by Laurie Mitchell. He is out of CH Pointed Mountain Meadow Timeless Tess by CH Pointed Mountain Meadow Navigator. Harry is from confirmation lines, some of the most successful show Lab lines in America. His grandsire is Dickendall Arnold.
We purchased him from Double D Labradors in Kansas, May of 2007. At the age of 4 he had been hunted extensively and was a popular stud dog. For the hunting lines we wanted to produce, he was perfect.
In the Fall of 2007 we met trainer Carol Elam and attended out first Hunt Test. We were hooked just from watching that event. Even though we had younger dogs, Harry's pedigree demanded that he be more than a hunting dog, as great as that is. Carol said he could be trained. Just because they get older doesn't mean they get dumb! So, on March 1st, 2008, we took him to Carol and she began his training, first in basic obedience, then working him with marks, force fetching him, and collar conditioning. In 6 weeks she had him ready to run for his Started Title.
At the Hoosier HRC, April 12 and 13, he ran 2 passes toward his Started Hunter Retriever Title. He earned that title in May with his second 2 passes. In June, he earned his JH title for Akc.

In Sept, 2009, at the age of 7, he earned his Seasoned title for HRC. This Spring, he will earn his Senior Hunter title for AKC.
