Puppy Pedigree

 

Goals:

To consistently produce high quality working and family companions. Bloodlines are selected based upon natural instinct to retrieve, temperament, and trainability. Breeding combinations can be great and they can be bad. I have experienced both...and strive to do my best.

Beginnings:

I purchased my first Peake from David and Bonnie Joy, Riverview Kennels in 1982. I was looking for a gun dog to retrieve waterfowl and was hunting Eastern Ontario from opening to freeze-up in those days. "Meg" did everything I did including hunting deer, raccoons and raising a young family. She was a great frog chaser which broke up some of the lull's in the hide. Thank you Dave and Bonnie, I will always remember you!

My first breeding was to a dog out of Bill Little's kennel, Abelina's Aleutian Cocoa and these pups were named "Northern's". I kept a female "Copper" who is perhaps the most talented dog I have owned and part of the foundation. Man, she was a hell of a gundog with field trial placings. During that time I read a story about a dog called "King of Montauk" and his retrieve on a cripple to win the first Specialty in 1932. This story inspired me to register "Montauk" with the CKC in 1987 and breed dogs using this name since then.
