It was a dream come true when I brought Fisher home as a little baby. At the time, his breeders asked: Maybe you can try and get a CD on him? What we’ve accomplished so far is beyond my expectations, and it seems like we are just beginning!
Not only does Fisher possess a hallmark temperament, great willingness to work and handsome good looks, he is just a joy to live with. How else do you describe your four-legged best friend as anything less than perfect? His favorite jobs are carrying the mailbox key, “helping” (or is that hindering) me get the groceries out of the car, and making sure his “babies” (stuffed toys) get plenty of lovin’. He’s ready for any activity with a wagging tail and a sparkle in his eye.
Fisher is an exceptional blend of beauty, soundness, type, trainability, confidence and health. He has an exquisitely correct and masculine headpiece with full dentition and dark pigmentation – his expression will melt any heart! He has smooth, balanced movement with a level topline and tailset; nice depth of rib and short loin; excellent bone and feet and a superbly constructed rear. Fisher is 24 inches tall, and weighs about 75 pounds. He has very pleasing proportions and a classic golden outline. He has been well muscled his whole life, thanks to a strict regimen of playing fetch with the tennis ball flinger! He does not carry a heavy coat, however the texture is correct and he dries quickly and never mats. Fisher is a beautiful bright gold color with platinum blond furnishings.
Fisher's strongest asset is temperament...he is calm and confident in any new situation, a sweet and gentle friend, yet enthusiastic and eager for any game. He has an incredible work ethic, never getting down on himself or quitting, always trying harder after a correction. He is a lightening-fast learner and up for any challenge. Although we may not qualify, Fisher always attracts a crowd because he is so fun to watch! Fisher loves other animals and can get even the shyest puppy (or the cat!) to play. He is a perfectly awful guard dog and usually greets guests by demanding to stand on their lap!
Fisher earned his JH and WC with minimal training. He passed the WCX with flying colors at the 2007 Central Regional in Oklahoma, which was a real thrill. We are currently training for Senior and hope to run in the 2008/2009 hunt test season. Fisher’s biddableness and team-player attitude carries over to the field, where he is picking up new concepts well. He is an excellent marker, strong in the water, with perseverance and style.
Many thanks to Fisher’s breeders Dee and John Thibodeaux who allowed me to have him, my friends and family for supporting us, our obedience and tracking instructor Kathy Yates for being at once patient, demanding and encouraging, and Jen at Showtimedesign.com for creating this beautiful webpage so I can have a distinctive place on the web to share Fisher’s accomplishments and silly photos!
