We are so excited to announce this planned litter!  We were searching for the perfect stud to pair with Skye and are so excited to have the chance to work with Red Prairie Retrievers for this planned litter.

When we added Skye to our program, we had hoped for a girl that would excel in field work, but also have an excellent off switch.  Skye has exceeded our hopes and loves to work, but is also a wonderful family dog in the house.  Skye has a heart of gold and is eager to please. This makes her very trainable and is a great working partner.  Skye went 4 for 4 tests to earn her AKC Junior Hunter Title (JH) and HRC Started Hunter Title (JH).  She has also earned titles in dock diving, FastCat, barn hunt, and many more!

Here is what Red Prairie Retrievers says about Poncho:
Poncho is an awesome fella out of Thunderstruck Retrievers in MN. He is very sweet and loves attention. When it is time to work, he has great attention and drive. He has high energy, but is able to shut off in the house. He is trainable and catches onto new skills quick. He has a pedigree full of field lines. He earned his MH (master hunter) title at 2.5 years of age in 2022. He loves dock diving and air retrieve! We plan to run him in more dock diving events and HRC field events. He has two HRCH passes as of summer 2023.

With the background that Poncho and Skye bring with them, we expect their litter to produce some really nice puppies.  We would expect their puppies to excel in many sports such as rally, dock diving, obedience, FastCat, and of course hunt tests.  They should also make some excellent hunting dogs and wonderful family dogs for active families.

Both Poncho and Skye are fully health tested in accordance with the recommendation of the Golden Retriever Club of America.  This means all required health testing has been completed for their hips, elbows, eyes, heart, and genetic panels have been completed.  

 Skye should be bred sometime this spring to Poncho (depending on her heat cycle). Our SkyeXPoncho litter is $2500 for AKC Limited Registration.
