Chief has been a blessing in our lives. He lived in the house with us till the day he passed. He would never get on the furniture at home but go to a hotel room where he wanted his own bed. He has achieved his 4X-GMPR and MH levels in the retriever world. Chief and I traveled to many different States hunting Birds. He retrieved 23 different species of wild birds. From small Quail to 20 Plus Pound Swans and everything in between. Chief is Also the first dog to make it into the APLA Hall of Fame, that both his Sire (Bear) and His Dam (Roxy) are also in the APLA HOF. Chief has brought joy to many Families with his puppies. Chief put such a great personality and natural talent, strong point and good marking in his offspring. To this day everyone requests Chief puppies. Chief has 41 of his offspring with APLA titles, at which 15 of them are GMPR or higher in their titling journey. Chief lived a long life of 14 ½ years, he passed February 2024, RIP in the endless hunting fields above.
May his legacy live on in everyone’s hearts. He has taught me as much as I taught him and the trust and bond will live on forever in Dale and Brenda’s HEARTS. God Bless!
