The breeding of Hoss and Vicky which produced my
foundation bitch Mig had the dual lines of Shamrock Acres and combined, within 4
generations, 15 Field Trial Champions (3 of which were Nationals), 12 Amateur Field Trial
Champions (5 of which were Nationals), 1 Dual Champion, and 1 Show Champion. Despite her
field origins, Mig was never a high-strung Lab and exhibits a very sweet disposition.
Though no longer involved in hunting, she once displayed an enthusiastic drive for
retrieving. She was bred to Ben (Bethor Wing-N-Wave Dark Knight) and is pictured here with
her 7 puppies (all females) the day after she whelped. To this day, I still say that she
delayed whelping that litter until I returned from a business trip in Washington, D.C.
Before I had left, I told her that I would be home soon and asked her to wait for me. I
left early my last day there and made the road trip home in record time. As soon as I got
home, she greeted me at the door and then went right to her whelping box and began
digging. She had the first puppy about 5 hours later. Shortly after whelping the litter,
Mig was spayed. She is currently living the life of luxury with her co-owner.
