This homebred champion finished his Canadian Championship at thirteen months going Group 3rd. At two he went to visit our friend Vicky Creamer at Belquest Kennels. Here he was shown towards his American Grand Championship. February 2011, en route to his Am Ch he was BOB Hoosier KC Hoosier Labrador Retriever Club at large supported entry and then following day BOB at the Hoosier Labrador Retriever Club Specialty.
Being a son of Coffee we had high expectations for this boy and he has not let us down. His dam Ch Belquest Waterberry at Highcaliber, aka Cali, is a daughter of MBISS/MBIS Am/Can Ch Winterwinds Glenn Plaid so his pedigree is impressive with many top winners within the last couple generations.
Most all this boy is just a big huggable teddy bear who loves to just hang out with us and his canine and feline friends.
A favorite here at Labradale, Expresso pictured spring 2019 at 11 years old. Thanks to Dean Dennis of ringsimages for these informal shots of our boy “E”.
