HR Cosmic Lakeland's Le Beau SH, WCX, CGC, call name Beau, is a silver male, born 10/19/2001. He is 24 inches and 60 pounds. Beau has his CHIC (Canine Health Information Center) number, 51136. He has his AKC Senior Hunter (SH) title, his UKC Hunting Retriever (HR) title, went 3 for 3, and one UKC Finished leg toward his Hunting Retriever Championship (HRCH) title. However, I've retired Beau from Hunt testing. He's picked up a bad habit of putting the last bird down during UKC Finished tests on either the triple marks, or on the diversion bird, or blind and pulling feathers. He only does this at hunt tests, never hunting for real or training with or without the e-collar on. Apparently he has learned how to count and hates giving up what he thinks is the last bird. Other trainers tell me it's stress. I say he does it because he knows he can get away with it during tests. Several professional trainers have told me the only way to break this habit is to simulate a hunt test with lots of other dogs and people around in order to correct it with the e-collar. However, I've never been able to fool him into thinking a fake hunt test was the real thing. He's getting up in years but is still full of p--- & vinegar; loves to hunt and shows no sign of slowing down. Beau's sire and dam are conformation champions and he looks the part, however, I'm not really interested in that part of the poodle fancy. Grace L. Blair MD Cosmic Poodles in Montana, is Beau's breeder. Beau's Pedigree
