SHOW: Brentley began his show career this past year (1998) between Hunt Test seasons. Nicely presented by Norman Grenier and Constance Holt-Grenier he has earned four majors in the US and acquired the number of points necessary to complete his breed championship. His first win under Judge Dean was a respectable four point major which was earned going Best of Breed from the open chocolate class over 9 Specials and an entry of 54. His second major was awarded at the lriquois Labrador's Club Supported Entry under Breeder Judge Czerwinski "Broadway." Brentley returned to Maine to continue his Hunt Test Career early in the Spring and completed his Master Hunter this June (1998). Brentley reentered the show scene going WD on 8/29 and RWD on 8/30 in Waldoboro and WD BOW on 9/27 in Lewiston and picking up a third major under Judge Nickles on 10/10! He was also third open chocolate at the 1998 LRC, Inc. National Specialty in Gray Summit, MO the following week. Taking a break to enjoy the fall and winter waterfowl season, he returned to the breed ring in March picking up a nice win under Breeder-Judge Sally Bell "Borador" for his forth major and breed championship.

He has a pleasing head, great coat, otter tail and fabulous temperament to compliment the trainability and breed type. He has already produced some lovely black and chocolate puppies. Watch for his daughters, Just Plain Balsam who was Group One Puppy at the Oromcto Kennel Club Show and Harbortop's Mine Chance who won her Sweeps Class at her first Specialty Show.

Brentley made the cut in the Specials Ring at the LRC National ’99. He was one of the three CH/MH appearing at the LRC National Specialty (see Photo on home page).

OBEDIENCE: Brentley has completed the requirements for his both his Companion Dog Title and his Companion Dog Excellent Title. He has a wonderful working attitude. His presence and enjoyment of all that he attempts is a joy to all who watch him work. Now it’s on to Utility!!!

FIELD: Brentley completed his Senior Hunter in four consecutive tests handled by Bill Clark. He has gone on to earn the five qualifying scores for his Master Title. He enjoys sea duck and waterfowl hunting and is excellent on upland game. Like his dam, his marking ability, memory and desire to retrieve have set him above the pack. Carl is delighted to have him home and he will be seen on a limited basis at Breed Specialties, but always on the sea ledges and inland bogs of Maine.

Champion Master Hunters

The month of July was a good month for Labradors. Three more dogs proved that the Labrador is still a true Dual purpose breed. These three dogs are the newest Champion Master Hunters. It is a funny coincidence that all three of these dogs are Yellow Males. Two of them finished their Master Hunter title on the same weekend and the other one on the following weekend. One of the dogs, CH Franklin's Pickpocket for Kerrybrook, MH finished his title by earning his Master with a perfect record of passing in five out of five tests, and also has the distinction of being the youngest Labrador to earn both of these titles. "Petey" was not quite three and a half years old when he completed his Master Hunter title. The oldest to achieve both titles earned the final one at about ten years of age.

To date there have been only two Chocolate Labradors, mother and son, who have achieved these dual titles. They are Am/Can CH MHR Plantier's Ruthless Ruthie, CD, WCX, MH, and her son CH Ruthless Blazing Brentley, CDX, MH. There has been one other pair of relatives that have earned these titles. They are CH Aliho's Igloo Iggy, UFX, MH, and his son CH Westwind's Chilkoot Charlie, MH. It would also be noted that CH Aliho's Igloos Iggy, UDX, MH is also a group winner.
