Labrador Retriever Testimonial On Gauge from April:

Hello to all –

I just wanted to send y’all a quick note updating you on our sweet Gauge that we picked up back in May (Snatch x Raven). It’s hard to believe that he’s 8 months old and is already going on his first hunts! Here are a few pics of him.  You can see how he’s developed. He’s beautiful and is so agile and LOVES to hunt. His drive is unbelievable and he’s surpassed all of our expectations with how smart he is.

We hope that you are all doing well and thank you, once again, for our amazing dog.
