Fenway Winter Storm and Dogwood Santa Anita have both achieved their Junior Hunt Titles. Thank you Jim Pickunka, Pondview Retrievers, for helping them achieve their titles and for taking such good care of them. Click here for live footage.

English Import Fenway Winter Storm, JH is available for placement to a special hunting home. He is our personal favorite and a gentleman. Inquiries welcomed.

Dogwood Santa Anita, JH will be training for her Senior Hunt title this summer. Watch for this special girl at upcoming hunt tests.

We have received a beautiful puppy from Tony and Martha Emilio-Ton Mar Labradors. Tonmar's Bliss at Dogwood is the offspring of Ch. Tonmar's French Jet Action and Lobuff Hollyridge Wizard of Oz. Bliss's pedigree has some of the top U.S. and English Show lines. She will be a real looker, so please watch for this special girl at upcoming conformation shows. We are very excited about this young girl!

AND we want to welcome from across the pond... Fenway Trademark. If you are looking for brains and looks, this is the dog for you. This young boy is a real good looker, oozing with true Labrador breed type, and combining many of the best UK working lines with a dash of some of the UK's most influential dual-purpose sires, such as Ch Abbeystead Herons Court and Ch Kupros Master Mariner. He was bred by Jeremy Hunt of Fenway Kennels, whose aim is to produce "real" Labradors with good looks and combined with natural hunting ability. He will be a true asset for those serious hunters. Thank you Jeremy and Anita Hunt for sending him our way. Also from across the pond is Fenway Trooper owned by Frank Toti. This young man can be seen slicing though the reeds and busting through the waves of New England, a true working Labrador. Frank has done a fabulous job in training Cutter, and at such a young age is retrieving waterfowl and upland game. Be watching for this stylish young Labrador at future hunt tests.

Storm and Oliver achieved their working certificates from PRLRC, WC test in '06. This test shows the dog's natural ability to retrieve game.
