Root River Retriever’s is proud to announce our upcoming spring litter:
Headwater’s Yeti’s Rising of the Horseshoe MH + Thistle Rock’s Hot Georgia Summer TKN CGC
This pairing combines some of the top hunt test lines of our time, with Field Champions, Amateur Field Champions and Master Hunt dogs. We are thrilled for the opportunity to bring these two lines together! We expect nothing but exceptionalism from their offspring.
Without further ado, allow me to introduce the upcoming parents:
Sire:
“Colt” is an excellent marking dog and very biddable on his blinds. He is high drive in the field but has that highly sought after “off” switch in the house that he in turn, passes on to his offspring. He excels in the hunt test game, picking up his first Master pass at just 19-months old and finishing out his title as a 2-year-old. He hunts pheasant and waterfowl all throughout the fall in North Dakota with his owners. Colt is fully health tested with “good” and “normal/clear” results. He is genetically tested and has OFA hips, elbows, thyroid, advanced cardiac and current eye exams and is CHIC qualified. These results can be verified on the OFA website.

Dam
”Goergia” is best known for her ON/OFF switch and is a fan favorite with everyone who meets her! She is a good marking dog, high drive in the field and knows exactly when to turn it up ten notches and when to shut it off. She is highly biddable and can go in any direction she is pointed. She passed her Canine Good Citizen and Trick Dog Novice test at a very young age. She hunts pheasants in the fall and runs informal trials in the winter; she absolutely lives for the hunt! She has a very keen insight for mixed company, she plays hard and goes for hours wrestling with our other adult dogs but will play as gentle as a bunny with small puppies and little children. She was the easiest puppy we have ever raised and are sure that her offspring will follow in her footsteps! Georgia has had her genetic testing done as well as OFA “Excellent” rated hips, with current eye exams “normal/clear”, as well as advanced cardiac and elbow results “normal/clear”. She is CHIC qualified. Her health testing can be viewed on the OFA website.

Breeding is planned for Georgia’s upcoming cycle, so dates are tentative. We predict a litter born sometime in April with take home dates being in June.
Price: $2000
We offer a health guarantee with each of our puppies along with lifetime breeder’s support.
Puppies will have a great start with us here beginning prior to their birth; Mom is moved to a calming environment during her pregnancy where she receives special care, appropriate exercise, daily messages and extra attention.
After whelping, we begin ENS (Early Neurological Stimulation) from 3 to 16 days old.
Pups are taken outside (weather depending) regularly from the time they begin to explore outside the whelping box. They are introduced to new novelties daily and start learning automatic sits at around 4 weeks old.
When the weaning process starts, they will move from the whelping box to open crate sleeping and start to use the dog door to learn potty training skills at this time.
We introduce them to bird wings around 5-6 weeks old and start their prey instinct training at that time by teasing them up and tossing fun objects for them to chase. They are introduced slowly and with great care to some of our other dogs for socializing which moves up to daily exercise with the pack when they are big enough.
They are started on quality puppy food at 3-4 weeks old with added supplements, dewormed on a bi-weekly basis and given their distemper/parvo vaccine just prior to going home.
We require a $500 deposit as part of the total cost, which can be put down at any time. Deposit is refundable only in the case that we cannot provide you with a healthy puppy, chosen gender, from the litter of your choice.
