Talon was truly an outstanding dog. He earned 16 Derby points and Qualified
All-Age in Field Trials. He earned two AKC Master Hunter passes at the first Hunt
Test he was entered in and went on to earn his Master
Hunter title. He also earned his UKC Hunting Retriever
Champion.
Talon was from our exceptional breeding between TJ our Master Hunter (see pedigree above) and Hunters Marsh Jet Tea, JH,
(see pedigree below). Jet was out of FC-AFC Island Lakes Beau Jet x Hunters Marsh
Special Tea, MH. While all of the Labrador Retrievers at our kennel have AKC Master
Hunting titles and UKC Hunting Retriever Champion titles, there was one exception, Jet, who
has only her JH title due to an injury to her leg that she received after obtaining this
title. This injury prevented Jet from obtaining an HRCH title in front and MH title
in back of her name. What Jet lacks for in titles, she makes up for in her ability
to produce outstanding dogs that receive her strengths--marking, water, trainability,
excellent hips, and beautiful heads. Jet gives her puppies the ability do do what an
injury kept her from doing. This is evident every time one of Jet's pups works as a
hunting dog at a hunt test or field trial and this is especially evident in Talon.
Jet and TJ are the sire and dam of:
- 12 Master Hunters
- 3 Hunter Retriever Champions
- 2 dogs on the National Derby list with Derby wins
- 5 dogs what are qualified All-Age with Qualifying wins
- Dogs that have completed the Master National
- Plus many great hunting dogs
Talon's grandmother, Tea, our Master Hunter, was sister to six Field Champions; and at
the age of 12 she is still winning 190 dog competitive pheasant hunts.
Talon was brother to 12 Master Hunters, 3 Hunting Retriever Champions and Sempahores
Living After Dark (16 Derby points, Qualifying 3rd) and Wrights Ground Digger (9 Derby
points, back-to-back Qualifying wins.
Talon like his sire and dam produced big, good looking labs that excel as both
up-land and waterfowl hunting dogs--the old fashioned classic lab that lies next to your
chair but is always ready to go hunting. He was from sound lines that are free of genetic
problems. Talon had an explosive water entry and is a pin-point marker. He ran beautiful
blinds. He was not only good looking but was also a fine hunting dog and great family dog.

| Jasmine - Finalist & Qualified at 1996 Master National |
Jasmine, did it all--
she was an exceptional hunting dog. Jasmine was out of FC-AFC Skywatch Radar x
Hunters Marsh Special Tea, MH. In September 1996, she was one of 241 dogs that
started the 1996 Master National. At the end of the first land series, 100 dogs were
not invited back to the second series. Five days of intensive land and water testing
resulted in 75 dogs completing the Master National. The three judges each tallied their
results, judging the working ability of each dog on training, control, steadiness,
honoring, marking ability on land and water marks, and blinds on land and water.
Fifty-four dogs were awarded the coveted pewter plate and Master National qualifying
ribbon for exceptional work. Not only did Jasmine finish and qualify at this
National, she did it with great marking ability, and did not handle on any of the land or
water marks; she had one whistle on each of her land and water blinds. As one of the
judges said, "She is everything anyone could ever want in a female."
Jasmine was sister to 5 Master Hunters and one qualified all-age
dog. Jasmine was the dam of Semaphores Tool Time, who was on the National Derby list
with 16 Derby points. He is also qualified All-Age at two years of age. Jasmine was
bred to Chavez. The first breeding produced some mighty special pups. These pups are
wonderful markers, have great water entries, were easy to train and eager to please. One
of the pups from the first breeding had 6 ribbons in licensed UKC and AKC hunt test before
she was 7 months old.
Jasmine will be sadly missed!

Tia, our special one the third generation of
breeding that started our line. Her mom,J
et, at 13 ½ is still alive and very
active. Tia won your heart the minute you met her. All
she had to do was come over to you and wait to be petted and look up at you
with those big brown eyes. She loved everyone. She
earned her AKC Master title with no problem, nd
went on to become a UKC Hunting Retriever Champion.
She produced dogs that could and did do it all. I am so sorry
that I don’t have a direct off spring of hers to carry her bloodlines.
If I could have anything, I would
want another dog just like her. I have kept
a yellow male, her grandson,
out of her son, Hunters Marsh Loose Change.
He, like his
mother, is a Master Hunter. Maybe
this grandson of hers will carry her genes and she can live on through him.
She is gone but will never be forgotten.

Diesel -- there will never be another one
like him. A wonderful pedigree, both parents Field
Champions. Diesel started out as a field trial dog and did darn well.
He earned 26 licensed derby points, made the top derby list, and was qualified
all age. He had never been trained for hunt test, but you would not have
known it. He earned his AKC Master Hunter title in 6 straight passes,
always getting get comments from the judges about the great job he did. He
earned his UKC Hunting Retriever Champion title again in straight passes..
He gave us so much happiness. He qualified for the Master National and went
to Vermont to run it and he was awesome. He got the coveted ribbon.
Diesel also
excelled as a wonderful hunting dog. Many of the people who came in to
learn how to handle dogs were thrilled at how good of a handler they were
when they ran Diesel. We had lots of people who wanted to own a dog just
like him; but they only made one of him.
Diesel will be greatly missed not
only by us at Hunters Marsh, but by many people who knew how special he was.

Merry is out of FC-AFC Donnybrooks Rocky Road
x Hunters Marsh Special Tea, MH. Merry is a very impressive dog. She didn't
just get titles but got them with incredible style. At each test, she was always the
youngest dog entered by at least 6 months. She passed tests where only 4 dogs out of
the 35 that were entered finished. She received high scores from the judges at each
test she ran. They were truly impressed with her great water entry and her ability
to know exactly where each bird went down. She did tough land and water blinds like
she was a much older dog instead of a dog that had not yet turned two.
If you are looking for a very special pup loaded with talent, you need a pup out of
Merry. Merry's dam, who is 10 1/2 years old, is still hunting upland game and ducks
and geese. Merry is sister to Blackskys Rebellious Warrior who has 23 Derby points,
and 3 Qualifying wins. Merry is a sister to GG and their pedigree is below.
