SHR Ruger M-One of Goldstrike

Born February 27, 2015

From when Ruger was a part of our Breeding Program:

“CONGRATULATIONS TO RUGER FOR EARNING HIS SHR STARTED TITLE ON AUGUST 13, 2016!

Ruger is the son of Amos and Remi, who are both championship dogs with Excellent hips and clearances. Remi has her HRCH title, and Amos has earned his 500 points according to UKC (United Kennel Club), along with Started, Seasoned, Finished, and Upland titles. These are an excellent pedigree put together.

Ruger loves the water and is great with retrieving. He stands taller than both parents, has some curl to his coat, and is dark red in color. He is a very handsome guy. 

We have cleared him from Ichthyosis and other genetic diseases for eyes, etc. His hips are Excellent, and his elbows are clear, along with his eyes and heart. He has all really good credentials for our breeding program.

The bottom three pictures are current pictures of Ruger taken on 11 19 19. I thought it might be nice to put out some newer photos. I can see Amos in him, but even though he stands taller, he weighs the same about 75 pounds. 

We ran him in hunt tests, and he earned his started title. He loves to retrieve and hunt!“
