Meet THE GUYS at Snowyriver


The boys schmoozing around our house are the best kind of Lab imaginable - they get along with each other; even when one has a girl visiting - the others know and stay cool. Wherever the people are is where you will find the boys - they long to be lap dogs but are content to lean against you by the hour. THIS is the true temperament of a Lab!


CAN. CH. SNOWYRIVERS MANASOTA MICA
(Am.Can.Ch. Cedarwoods Master Gunner, CD, WC X Keelcroft's Honeycomb)

Mica At five years of age as of Jan/99, Mica has finally matured to his best yet!

Mica was a consistent group placer/winner and has been the Best Sire (and Get) at a number of Specialties. His biggest win was being the #4 Lab in Canada in 1996 - without even trying! To date Mica has produced 10 conformation champions and has 1 more pointed offspring to finish in 1999! He and his kids will also be seen in the obedience ring in '99 - a testament to the versatility of his get.

Mica is currently training for obedience and loving every minute of it (if the leaping at the front door while I put on my coat is any indication) and should be ready for competition later in the spring. Mica is currently at stud to approved bitches - for information on his stud fee and copies of his clearances feel free to contact us at snowyrvr@telusplanet.net

Coming into our breeding program as soon as his clearances are obtained will be:

Can. Ch. SNOWYRIVER'S MAGIC SHOW
Can.Ch. Tuskaloosa Quillum X Can. Ch. Snowyriver's Rosemary Hume)

Magic, 18 months this February, completed his championship this past fall - with multiple group placings to his short career credit.

We would be interested in a co-ownership on Magic - as having three stud dogs in the house could get to be somewhat crowded! And with two more coming up through the ranks - crowded would be an under-statement!

Pedigree to come.



Our future is looking bright with the opportunity to include Snowyriver's Vantasy (a Mica son - whose face greets you on our home page - as well as at least one chocolate boy from upcoming breedings.


BIS CAN.INT. CH. SNOWYRIVER BOULDINAIRE RULER, CDX, WC,TT
(Am.Can.Bda.Ch. Autumn's Thunder Visions, CD, JH X
Am.Ch.Bouldinaire Braemar Breeze, CD, JH) Ruler

While no longer active at stud, Ruler is by no means forgotten. A back injury in 1995, while training for his UD, left him unable to be used at stud, but his health is holding and his back is greatly improved. We will not, however, be taking chances with any more obedience training.

During his show career, Ruler was three times in the Top 5 Labs in Canada - #2 in 1993 and #3 in 1992 and 1994 with only a partial year's showing in each year. He was twice the Edmonton Kennel Club Conformation Dog of the Year and was the Obedience Dog of theYear in one of those years with earning a HIC, a 2nd and two 3rds while competing for his CDX. Our best moment was probably the day he went Group 1st - then we raced from the breed ring to the obedience ring (with just three sits on the way as warm up) to place HIC in CDX - no mean feat for either of us!


Those are our boys - with some young blood coming along behind (see our page of 'Snowyriver Kids"). We hope you like what you see here - and invite your enquiries.
