FC AFC Cuda's Blue Ryder MH

Ryder (now deceased) was a dynamic, handsome and statuesque 85 pound chocolate Labrador Retriever who has reached the pinnacle of success for Labradors of all colors in both the field trial and hunt test worlds.  Perhaps his greatest attribute is his versatility as exemplified by his activities in the summer of 2003.  In late June he was a Finalist in the 2003 National Amateur Retriever Club Championship Stake.  A week later he was the test dog for the ESPN Great Outdoor Games Retriever Series.  The next weekend he completed his sixth straight Master Hunter Qualification and earned the Master Hunter title.  The week following Ryder won the Open All-Age Stake at the Sacramento Valley Retriever Club's field trial and gained his Field Championship title.

In addition to his success as a competitor, he is a superb hunting companion with an outstanding dove, duck, goose and pheasant record.  He is a loving and gentle pet who lives in our home.  As a stud dog he carries and throws his warm and balanced personality of his sire FC AFC CFC CAFC Barracuda Blue MH.
