Friends, and newcomers. You can expect a response to your e-mail within 24-48 hours. If not, please call us. . . . . . . . . Updated June 30th, 2009. Shot a 10 minute video of Jake on point yesterday. beautiful stuff. Couldn't wait to see it on TV or computer. True to form, I had filmed the whole thing without pushing the record button. I got about 5 seconds of footage of my shoe. Jake was cramped up from the long point and limped a bit back to the shed.
Today I managed to actually puch record. I shot 15 minutes of him on point. I keep urging him onto the bird so there are 4-5 reocations. Jake is a staunch x 1000 pointing dog. It is difficult to get him to break at all. He would still be pointing that bird (probably laying down) if I hadn't ended the film shoot. Keep checking back on the website for that video. We will try to get a link up to that soon. Pop some popcorn because it's a long point... but absolutely normal for him.
Happy birthday to GMPR MHR Jake. 10 years of loyalty, friendship, and amazing hunting stories.
We had visitors here this week to pick up a puppy. the gentleman had never seen a lab point. In fact, he mentioned hunting at a famous lodge in S. Dakota where the lodge owner told him there is no such thing as a Pointing lab. I asked if he would like to see a lab point,.. and took out Jake. As we worked towards the bird, the gentleman asked "How long will he hold point?" We have done this often anough to know that it is not unusual for Jake to point for 10-15 minutes while we talk. I mentioned to the customer that we could very likely drive downtown, have lunch and return and Jake would still be on point. A few seconds later Jake got low and locked up. After a few minutes of talking while he held, I tried to get Jake to break point with a few :"hunt-em ups!!" Jake stayed rock solid. The gentleman (who ran Brittanies) just kept repeating that's amazing! Thats a lot better than my Brittanies. If you've never seen Jake on point, it's different. We have trained dogs that come from all over the nation and Canada....I have yet to see a PL, Brittany, visla, shorthair, puddelpointer or setter who comes close on the pointing side...Including Phoenix / Boz / Duke / Tess / Koehl's Suzy / Thunder / and the other exceptional PL pointers we have had in. I need to shoot a video of Jake on a long point and post it here.
We have a tentative hire as a trainer. A family man with lots of work experience, a distinct passion for dogs.
After a long winter, There is a new excitement here about work and what we can accomplish for our customers. Mr. Todd Stordahl will start with us this month. We welcome Todd and his family to our neighborhood. We look forward to his contributions to Sauk River Retrievers.

Sauk River Retrievers is an organization Dedicated To Excellence
in the breeding and training of Pointing Labradors. Please call or e-mail or David or Jane personally if you have questions about an upcoming litter, started dog, or training for your gundog. Some of you waited nearly a year to obtain a pup in 2008. We appreciate your patience. As many will attest.... It is worth the wait to take advantage of the years of selection and testing we have been through to develop the program we have today.EIC Results posted
We have been fortunate in that our foundation dogs are clear with the exception of one carrier. I will be reinventing a way to better show all health information on the site. For now, the only carrier we have is Magic.Jake, Phoenix, Misty, Scarlet, Autumn, and Desi are all clear by testing.
Mack, Storm, Tess, Nala, and Boz are all clear by parentage.
Dakota and Ebony can be at most carriers and have a 75% chance of being clear. We will be testing them soon.
Sauk River Retrievers will not be producing any litters this year with a chance of EIC affected dogs.
There is no need for puppy owners to worry about testing their Sauk River puppy.
