Scout's Hunting Titles and Pedigree

HR Cosmic Mountain Scout SH, call name Scout is Beau's half brother, same dam. He was born 07/06/2003.  He is a cream male, 26 inches and 66 pounds.  He has his UKC Hunting Retriever (HR) title, 5 passes out of 6, his AKC Senior Hunter (SH) title and  also has three UKC Finished legs.   I can't help but think he will achieve that last pass required to earn his HRCH (hunting retriever champion) title before hunting season this fall, '08. 

Scout's sire, Powder, owned by Grace L. Blair MD, Cosmic Poodles, in Montana, breeder of both our poodles has two MH legs and has run as test dog in field trials to rave reviews at the Qualified level.  

Gary and Scout soon after arriving in Sheridan, MT, with Grace Blair, MD, Scout's breeder.  My friend Dan flew me out to pick up Scout in his single engine plane.  The top of the mountains were covered in clouds.  Dan didn't feel like going over the top on instruments.   He picked a nice safe passage route a little to the North, which was fine with me. Grace said that was a smart maneuver.  She was a stunt pilot at one time and owned her own plane.  She gave us room and board for the night, plus showed us how Powder runs a quarter mile out to the main road to get the paper each morning.   We took off in great weather the next morning for a very scenic trip home.  Scout slept silently the entire 8 hour trip back with one potty break in Aberdeen, SD when we stopped for fuel.  I tried to get him to look out the window at the fields where he would be hunting pheasants the next year but he wasn't that interested.  He sure is now.  Thanks Grace for the opportunity to own a very driven hunting retriever that's a joy to live with.
