Why Bang?

Bang is a handsome dark yellow Labrador weighing 72 lbs. He is the son of the legendary 2011 NAFC FC AFC Cody Cut A Lean Grade (“Cody”), the grandson of FC AFC Code Blue (Hall of Fame), and has carved out his own remarkable legacy in the retriever world.

Bang earned his Amateur Field Champion (AFC) title shortly after turning four years old — an impressive feat that speaks to both his natural talent and his training. By the age of six, Bang had qualified for four National Amateur Field Championships.

After years of following the career of ‘11 NAFC FC AFC Cody Cut A Lean Grade (“Cody”), we noticed an amateur-trained, handsome dark yellow son of Cody’s who was beginning to create his own legend of accomplishments in the 2017/2018 era.

In addition to the on/off switch folks talk about, there seems to be a third gear that some dogs have, called “Joy”. Bang has been amateur trained by his owner/best friend, and it would be hard to imagine a day when he didn’t think to himself…..“what cool stuff are we going to do today”? Perpetual “joy”, coupled with an amazing, stacked pedigree of champions, and a very impressive set of accomplishments, are why we are so excited about the pups that this handsome champion will father.

Both of the sires of Rosie’s previous two litters were also owner/best-friend-trained, and able to ask the same “what cool stuff are we going to do today” question. Their primal, perpetual “joy” has also shown through in the offspring we are now seeing, and we hope to find this same inherent “joy” in the pups from this Bang and Rosie breeding.
