SCL's Sugar Magnolia

When we saw that Maggie's litter had been bred we had a feeling that this was the Chocolate Labrador that we had been searching for every since Jake had passed away. Jake was a once in a lifetime Chocolate Lab and we did not think that we would ever be so fortunate to ever own another like him. Within a couple of weeks of picking Maggie up on Christmas Day 2007 we knew that she was a very special girl. She has done nearly everything right the first day. We had to wait until the spring thaw to do her first water retrieves. The first two bumpers were thrown at the edge of the water to get her feet wet. The third was thrown about 6 feet from shore and Maggie leaped completely past it . She came to the surface turned around and retrieved it to hand. The picture above was taken on her first day of water work. The pictures below were taken on her second day ever of being in the water. Maggie has incredible drive to go with her complete set of natural skills yet has been a dream to handle. Maggie's only limitations are our ability to train/handle her. She is a litter mate of Upon the Wings of an Answered Prayer(Ammo). Ammo just won the High Point Derby Dog of the Year award and shattered the all time points record for Derby dogs. Maggie is out of GMPR Santa Fe's Contender Tyra MH and sired by AFC/QAA Wing Magic's Louisiana Roux MH. Maggie's littermate Roux's Diamond in the Rough just QAA'd in the summer of 2010. Due to financial/job issues in 2009 we had to suspend competing dogs. We plan to resume competing in the spring of 2010 when the test/trials resume in the mid West. Maggie is OFA Hips/GOOD and Elbows/NORMAL. She is clear for CNM. She is a carrier of the EIC gene and when bred the stud will be EIC Clear and the litter will be microchipped and EIC tested.
