Zoey with all her Master Hunter ribbons & title pin, October 31, 2020
Zoey was the first puppy in Panda's second litter. We had five girls to choose
from, but we eventually settled on the "White" (baby collar color) puppy. She is bold, confident, cute and sassy,
very sweet and people-oriented, and a little bit eccentric like her Grandma Penny. In fall 2017 she won two Puppy Stakes
at our retriever club trial and AKC Hunt test, and finished her Senior Hunter title with 5 passes on April 14, 2019.
She immediately started working on her Master title, and had 3 passes before we took her out of training in the fall to breed her.
We hoped to finish up in spring 2020, but the coronavirus pandemic intervened. She finished up at back to back shows in October, titling
at the Central Kentucky Hunt Test on October 25, 2020. She passed all her clearances and is now in our breeding program.
Master Hunter: Zoey had three passes from May through October 2019, when we took her out of training to raise a litter of puppies.
She finished up those last two passes and her title at back to back weekends in East Tennessee (10/18/20) and Central Kentucky (10/25/20), after a
lengthy break caused by the pandemic.
Senior Hunter: Zoey skipped Junior and went straight in to Senior, so she needed five passes to title. She completed her title
April 14, 2019, at the Atlanta Retriever Club Spring Hunt Test, at age 2 years and 4 months.
Litter 12:Zoey was bred to Max Q Saint Louie RN MH CCA *** VCX , ("Louie")
for her second litter, born December 28, 2021. We missed the timing on this litter, which took place late at night during the National Specialty in Florida -- not exactly
the best situation for breeding dogs. She only had two puppies, both girls.

page with links to pictures is here.
Litter 10:Zoey was bred to Bravhart KC Run For The Border MH QA2 WCX, ("Jessie")
for her first litter, born January 28, 2020 -- 6 girls and 2 boys. She was a great mother! We kept a girl from the litter, here and the litter
page with links to pictures is here.

6-8 more weeks of very carefully controlled exercise. Luckily, it healed perfectly without any setbacks
and she is fully sound.
