‼️TODAY, VICCI introduces a once-in-a-lifetime breeding that truly represents our genetic vision for field Goldens.
Toughness. Grit. Resilience. Water Ability. Often considered the bane of most Goldens, these are the defining traits of this breeding — brought to life with 25-year-old frozen semen from one of the greats.
AFC Snapper × Jane QAA may be one of the most compelling Golden field trial breedings of the decade.
Snapper was a powerfully built 75 lb male who embodied boldness and intensity. Frequently cited as one of the top marking Goldens of all time, his raw natural talent was unrivaled. Snapper was the dog you always had a chance to win with.
Snapper:
• Amateur trained and handled
• 34 Derby points and one of the youngest Derby Listers in the history of the breed
• QAA at 2 years old
• 8 Series at the 1999 National Amateur
• 6 Series at the 2002 National Amateur
• Sire of FC-AFC Steeple Hill Ranger
Jane has been a prodigious talent — the heir apparent from the very beginning. As pick of the litter, we were peeling pigeons out of her mouth, chasing her down, and couldn’t keep her out of the water.
She went on to excel through basic obedience, force fetch, yard work, swim-by, and field work. Nothing fazed her, and nothing slowed her down. After excelling in both Derby and Qualifying stakes across the TX/LA and MT circuits, Jane made her splash into All-Age work this summer as a 3-year-old.
Jane’s record:
• 5 Derby points and 2 Jams in 6 starts; Derby National Competitor
• QAA with a 1st place at the Flathead Retriever Club Qualifying Stake in Ronan, Montana
• 45% finish rate throughout her early career
• Now an All-Age competitor with an incredibly high ceiling
• Has finished or placed with three different handlers
For a full evaluation and analysis of Jane’s ability, I’d refer you to Rob Erhardt, but I’m happy to discuss the breeding in depth over the phone if you’d like.
1 male available to a competitive field trial or hunt test home.
All pups are going to competitive homes. Take-home: first week of December.
