Boom's Ancestors: Boom is out of Am/GR CH Antigua Don't Look Back (aka "Valentino") and our very sweet and social Rose. Like both his parents, Boom also has substance, meaning he is not thin, but well-built, with a nice chest and weight to him. Not only is Boom's dad a conformation champion, but three out of four of his grandparents are champions. His paternal grandmother has achieved "top producer" status (meaning she has produced at least 3 champions herself). Boom's sire, Valentino, has several top producing champions in his line. Valentino is owned by Marquis Diamond Standard Poodles in California, who was gracious enough to allow us to use him for our very sweet and beautiful Rose.

Boom was retired from our breeding program as a result of having one hip looser than the standards we require in our breeding adults. His mom has "excellent" hips and his dad was rated "good" with OFA. Boom's looser left hip could be the result of environment (all of the hunt training he underwent).

Boom is a beautiful boy from a long line of conformation champions. He has beautiful color and drive. He loves to retrieve and is such a clown. In addition to his willingness to work, Boom's great conformation earned him a Best in Breed and Best in the Gun Dog Group at the UKC Conformation Show on 2/14/09. As a result, he is 1/3 the way to his conformation title. The awarding judge commented on his great muscular structure, stating that he was an OUTSTANDING representative for the Gun Dog Group.
