Hawk

Hawk

Hawk is one very funny guy, highly curious and does he ever love water!
During hot days, more than once I'll find him sitting in drinking water pan,
which he prefers over a wading pool in back yard.

Tootsie

Aug.24th Tootsie's litter by Hawk arrived, 10 puppies, 5 black, 5 chocolates.
There are currently 3 chocolate boys, 1 chocolate girl open for new homes.

All my puppies receive 2 shots before leaving. First at 5 wks., 2nd at 7 wks.
Worming, of course, more than once...2 wks., 4 wks. & 6 wks.


Hawk's full sister with birds she retrieved, 10-11-08, 22 months old. Some question whether
Labradors from show lines do well in the field, proof presented they sure have great capability!
From Hershey's owner: "Hershey really did very well and was so excited to bring a
greenhead all the way to me from the middle of the pond. She watched Brandi and then the 2
of them double teamed a cripple that was running across the ground. Spectacular hunt!"

All went well for their travels!

Augustus

JIA 4th of July

Recently sent, "Marcin Augustus" on summer vacation, Whidbey Island, WA. where he's been
swimming, getting a handle on diving off a dock. His owners John and Ingrid attend U of M., Missoula.
Don't we love the 4th of July attire, esp. head gear!


Health Guaranteed-Veterinarian Endorsed

Hip joints, elbows, x-rayed for soundness, scored by either
The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA), Penn-Hip
ratings compared against others of same breed or Wind-Morgan
which is multipal (all major) joint readings for Labradors specifically.

WHY are joints checked? To be sure they are free of dysplasia, which brings lameness.
Joint reviews are spendy, running $350 to $475, yet, oh so vital.
Getting a puppy from stock without joint clearances...RISKY!
Surgical correction can be done, cost $2,500 per hip joint. In severe cases, a dog must be put down.
"Back-Yard-Breeders, those who breed so children can see a litter born, for "education", or believe
they will earn extra money have little regard for keeping a breed sound, are barely
above PUPPY MILLS, as in, puppies from PET STORES, the worst of the worst places to purchase a puppy!!
NO Clearances, NO Guarantee, puppies are often riddled with health issues leading to high Vet. bills!

Eyes rated by OPTIGEN, which is DNA testing for PRA,
Progressive Retinal Atrophy which causes early blindness.
And by annual CERF reviews.



Labradors with show backgrounds DO hunt and point!!
Those who claim they have developed "pointing" Labradors
do not know, nor understand the history of the breed. As the Labrador was
developed it was noted they had natural instincts to point.
English Lords of Manors who hunted wanted a breed for each
duty, so Spanials flushed, Pointers pointed etc. When Labradors
pointed, attempt was made to breed this trait "out" of the Labrador.
Many good lines of the breed held ability to point, simple as that!


Many photos were graciously provided by their proud owners!
You'll see these happy, beautiful canines waggin' their tails and a hoppin'
to music all over this Web site. Please wander around, enjoy!
There are LOTS OF PICTURES of my current & past Labradors, their off-spring.


MARCIN PUPPIES

NOTE: Sorry, I've got a few broken links & I have yet to figure out correction, puppy page
is one, all others are my personal pages, non-Labrador hobbies, interests. ;-(

The Boston Boys: Black Oscar, right Elmo, his son's Conner (center), Ernie, left.
Marcin Moonstruck Banana Split, "Hannah" mom to Conner and Ernie (Icy's brothers).
Hannah and I flew to Boston from Seattle for that breeding....amen for AK air miles! What a splendid trip that was!
Imagine you never met prior, owners of a dog you bred, made a cross country flight to be collected at "Logan" taken
to owners residense, shown around in quick order as Kevin needed to get to work.
Told, whatever you want, food, use of computer, help yourself. Hannah and spent 12 days with Kevin and Shannon.
Our only Sunday there, I collected two more States, New Hampshire, a drive along the 17 mile Atlantic shoreline, into
lower Maine, visited an ultra snappy sporting goods store.


These are two very special boys!

Marcin Magnum & his son Iceman, out of Glacier.

Marcin Magnum 1-03-1993 *** 4-19-2005
Loved, adored...missed he shall always be.


A Little MARCIN HISTORY

RAVEN as foundation bitch had ASHLEY.
From ASHLEY, MARGO arrived. MARGO had TAR.
Two pups from TAR's 1st litter, SNOOF & BABE
shown on the 1998 attractions page.
Although these girls were black, all carried yellow
recessive which brought bi-colored litters when bred
to a yellow from lines introduced into my program in 1991:
Circle K's BEAU as stud. Beau was also bred
to girls: Circle K's TAFFY, CAROLINA & MAGNOLIA.
BEAU to MAGNOLIA brought stud of
six years, MARCIN MAGNUM.
These yellows from grand old lines such as Sandylands
"THE" Premier Kennel in the world, started early 1940's in England.
Boradors & Muskeluge here in the United States.

Incorporation of successful field lines to winning
show lines was my goal, a balanced all purpose Labrador.
Going on 23 years, proof of my vision accurate: STRONG
workers with TRUE to the breed, MILD willing
to please temperament and appearance to AKC standard.
AND...SO very critical, robust HEALTH on all accounts!!

A FEW WORDS from MY Current TROUPES
Twinkle, Icy, Snazzy Lou, Gus, Presley, Mandy, Tootsie, Cookie, Hawk, T-Two, Arrow and Clint.
(Typical for our household, six or seven sharing couch space or attempting to "steal" Twinkle's
chair where in shot below Mandy managed to wiggle in to use Twinkle as a pillow.)

Couch

Chair

Any and ALL questions will gladly be answered by our
owner if you e-mail her.
She knows an awful lot about us Labradors!
We assure you, we are spoiled...so are our puppies!
It does matter tremendously how pups are raised;
lots of human attention in the early weeks is vital
to development of sound adult Labradors.
Also critical to healthy puppies: parents and ancestors
with joint reviews and eye clearances.
Some of our famous ancestors are listed here: ancestors.
Proudly we brag, folks in 39 states have our
pups or relations.
By the way, eighteen families have two MARCIN LABRADORS
from different litters and five families
have two pups from same litter!

Great pride we have that Tracker's full sister has an un-canny ability to read
impending seizures of an undetermined nature that come to her owner. By Susie's warning,
her owner is able to relax, let these seizures flow along until over.
A son of Twinkle's, TJ, is a partner to a handicapped person, providing various assistance duties.
And an Elmo-Hannah daughter is also in service to a physically challenged young lady.
All three live in the Salt Lake City area.

Please visit Raven's memorial page to see the sweetie who hooked our owner on Labradors!

As it's said, "If it's not a Labrador Retriever, it's just a dog".

See Miss Twinkle "CH Nipntuck Twinkle in Our Eyes"
on her very own page.

FRED is Hannah's sire, look what his sister accomplished!!

Of special note, Fred's full sister, "Marcin Shady Brook",
for a time, successfully ran in field trials events.
During 1999 Brook qualified in enough NAHRA tests to
earn Spokane, WA. Bird Dog Association's High Point Started Retriever award.

2001 Brook was bred to FC-AFC LUCYANA'S FAST WILLIE.
Three off-spring moved along nicely in their field training.
A FEW of Willies credits.....1992 High Point Derby Dog.
1997 NATIONAL OPEN RETRIEVER CHAMPION.
1998 High Point Amateur.

Here's "Marcin Shady Brook"
Isn't she smashing?
By the way, her eyes are not yellow, that's a result of camera flash glare.

"Marcin Kiki's One and Only" (Buck) left as a youngster,

They are creations of selective breeding. One generation and out."

*Ingrid Newkirk, Founder, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA)*
"Animal liberationists do not separate out the human animal,
so there is no basis for saying that
a human being has special rights.
A rat is a pig is a dog is a boy. They're all mammals."
(/Vogue, September 1989/)
On animal rights arson and violence: "Would I rather the research
lab that tests on animals is reduced to a
bunch of cinders? Yes."
(/New York Daily News, Dec. 12, 1997/)
On dog breeding and pet ownership: "Pet ownership is an absolutely
abysmal situation brought on by human manipulation.
We would no longer allow breeding.
As the surplus of cats and dogs declined, eventually companion
animals would be phased out, and we would return to a more
symbiotic relationship-enjoyment at a distance."
(/Harper's Magazine, August 1988/)
