Breeding Asia was something that we had thought about for awhile. The timing never seemed to be quite right with the birth of our two children, of the human variety, so it was just something we threw around here and there until we came up with a purpose.
My husband recently got his hunter's safety certificate, so although Asia had not been trained since puppyhood to hunt, he and my dad decided to bring her out in the field last fall. My dad, a veterinarian and avid hunter for 40+ years was impressed with Asia's innate ability and affinity for hunting and retrieving. Last year my dad's beloved black lab, Hunter, passed and he knew that he
wanted another lab but it would be hard to measure up to Hunter. He always knew Asia was a top-notch family dog, but after seeing her in the field, he was convinced of her hunting ability and encouraged us to breed her so that he could have one of her pups.
So we set off to find a good stud.
