Leffe came to us at just under five years old. He already had complete health testing and an American Junior Hunter title so we started conformation training with him and he is settling into the family. Leffe is an energetic male who will work for toys, food, or attention. He likes to fetch, does not give up when toys are lost as they must be found, and is also very proud of carrying giant sticks whenever he finds them. We have since encouraged him to carry toys instead of sticks and he thinks that is a good idea too and has some favourite items! In the house, Leffe is quiet in his crate or he snoozes in the laundry room where it is cooler. He lies on the floor beside our feet in the family room during quiet times and sleeps on the bed at night when allowed. He is good with young puppies and lets them jump on him or lick him and generally pester him until their puppy pass expires. With older puppies he will run and play with them unless they are too boisterous, when he prefers to ignore them and go off on a sniffing adventure instead or walk beside us. During his first year with us, Leffe completed his conformation championship in four weekends with all Best of Winners major wins and some Best of Opposite Sex placements and passed his Canine Good neighbour test nicely at a Christmas-themed show a few hours from home. Leffe passed his AKC Canine Good Citizen test and AKC Novice Trick Dog title in an outdoor park with city life distractions all around. He is enthusiastic about Chase Ability and has earned his chase ability title. He achieved his Working Certificate by beautifully retrieving two ducks from back to back single land marks in cover and retrieving two ducks from back to back swimming water marks. He loves the water and is very gentle with his birds! At six and a half years old, Leffe achieved his Junior Hunter title, running five tests in two weekends and passing four! He completed his Rally Novice title in three straight trials at two different venues. He will train novice obedience and Advanced Rally in the coming months.
Leffe's son, "Shotgun", out of RidgeView Sew You Say, bred by Ridge View Labradors
What Shotgun's trainers say about him: "Shotgun is a naturally talented retriever with a strong desire to please. He is a strong marker with a lot of 'go' in the field. He has a powerful nose and knows how to use it. He does not give up when hunting falls and quarters naturally on a hunt. Shotgun charges through cover or water for a retrieve. He is not gun shy or timid in the field... Shotgun is also a very affectionate dog that loves to be with his people... Shotgun is highly intelligent and learns new concepts quickly. He has a good work ethic and loves to do a job for his people. All of Shotgun's hard work is paying off! This handsome dude got his JH pass on his first try. Shotgun loves two things: pleasin' and retrievin'. He is truly a pleasure to train!"

Leffe's daughter, "Mimi Yuki", out of RidgeView Sew You Say, bred by Ridge View Labradors
What Mimi Yuki's trainers say about her: Mimi Yuki is a sweet, loving girl who enjoys life to the fullest. She is extremely smart, easily trainable, willing to please her handler and highly affectionate. She is a natural retriever and loves to be by her people. She is co-owned with our service dog partner organization, Circle Tail Service Dogs, and is producing service dog prospects. She has produced several service dogs in training so far for Circle Tail, Inc. She passes on her calm demeanor, strong desire to please, and kind disposition to her puppies. Mimi knows basic obedience, knows how to shake hands, and to retrieve and hold different objects in her mouth. She loves life to the fullest and will always put a smile on your face.

Leffe's son, "Leo" at one year old, out of Ridge View's Frosted Legacy, bred by Ridge View Labradors
What Leo's trainers say about him: "Leo is very kind-hearted boy who loves human attention of any kind. He is very smart and focuses well on his handler at all times... He loves to go for walks and to retrieve. He would make a wonderful family companion or a great therapy or service dog prospect!"

Leffe's niece, "Genny", out of his full sibling Ridge View's Dark Lager, bred by Circle Tail Service Dogs and Ridge View Labradors
What Genny's trainers say about her: Meet Search and Rescue Dog, Genny. Genny has found her calling. On November 1st, 2019, Genny passed her Search and Rescue Certification in Human Remains Detection with the International Police Work Dog Association. She participated in a 4-day seminar and testing sponsored by the Ohio Federation of K9 Search Teams that was held in Loveland, Ohio. During the active search portion of the certification test, Genny had 1 hour to locate 2 sources in a 2 acre area. She completed the task in 8 minutes! Proud to say she received lots of compliments at this training/testing event from the evaluators and seasoned SAR handlers who remarked that she was doing an especially good job for a dog her age. This girl is hard-wired for this kind of work.
