Chambray Labradors proudly presents the newest puppy arrivals from Connie X Hogan
Presents their
Litter
02/02/07
The 60 day wait for the puppies to be born is over and now we have a gorgeous litter before us.
What's different about this litter is that we have actually waited 4 years for Connie puppies!!!
She had been bred 5 times before to 4 different dogs and she never "took".
Along comes Hogan and presto, we have 3 boys and 1 girl in a gorgeous litter.
The rest of the odyssey for this litter will now be the same as all the other prospective litters for perpetuating the betterment of the breed.
Now the task at hand is watching these awesome puppies grow with the ultimate goal of deciphering which puppies will be the ones that will perpetuate the breed with their outstanding qualities.
Once that is
accomplished, then the real sleepless nights begin for me, as I decide
where each puppy will be placed! Although the waiting lists are long for
our puppies, in many cases there are
twice as many people waiting and
half as many puppies available,
it is matching the correct puppy to the
correct family
that makes the next step so crucial.
Since we only breed
for show purposes and not to supply the puppy market, and since we
guarantee show quality it is imperative to be able to identify those
puppies that are indeed show potential
and then to place them with
people that appreciate what it takes to produce
at the higher level of
quality and would consider joining the most
successful Labrador Owner's
community of its kind for
the Betterment of the Breed.

In the last 12 years I have had the luxury of having bred and evaluated some world class litters, including Chancey's litter of 3 girls that produced all
-
3 American/International Champions,
-
combining to win 37 best Of Breeds
-
12 Group wins,
-
2 Group I's,
-
Best Labrador in Florida for 2004,
-
#22 Labrador USA 2004
-
Best Female Labrador Florida 2005
-
Eukanuba Finalist 2005
-
Westminster finalist 2005
I am ecstatic to announce that these four puppies have averaged higher marks than the 3 girls from the above mentioned litter when they were the same age!!!!!
With the bitch puppy achieving the highest rating ever at 98.5.
The final 8-week evaluation for conformation & movement is completed and "Charm" scores an unbelievable 9.85, the highest rating ever, scoring higher in most aspects, only behind in rear angulations, that I personally prize high when it is much deeper as with Chancey's!
EDITORS NOTE: The
evaluations at 8 weeks serve as a baseline score to start out with.
There are numerous variables that will determine the final outcome of
every single dog as to whether it makes it as a show dog or not. The
final verdict is taken at 18 months of age. Just as a point of reference
Am/In Ch Chambrays Chisholm Chancey scored a final evaluation of 96.21
as a full grown adult and that mark stands today as the pinnacle of
success for all to rise to. More reference points at 8 weeks of age &
adults scores:
Am/Int Ch Chambrays Chance N Counter (puppies' dam) 93.3 to
90.9
Am/Int Ch Chambrays Twist Of Fate 94.17 to 93.68
Am/Int Ch Chambrays Mad About Madeline 93.80 to 92.52
Am/Int Ch Chambrays Out Of The Ruff (puppies' sire) 92.7 to 90.8
