Ozark is a new bloodline to Trailrunners. He was selected from the USA as a great fit to diversify our breeding program and bring new proven competition and pointing Lab lines into Canada. Both sides of his parentage showcase 4X Grand Master Pointing Retriever achievements (UKC sanctioned hunt test with upland component), Hunting Retriever Champions (UKC), and grandparents with Master Hunt (AKC) titles as well.

 His strong, balanced build is complimented with a beautiful square head. He is medium framed at 70lbs, and easily has the endurance and mindset to be out in the field all day without tiring. Like his parents, he has shown a propensity for pointing and has an excellent nose for quartering. His strong jaw and tenacity have also made him an asset on the goose hunt. He is focused in his work, but when the job is done for the day he easily switches off and relaxes. 

Ozark is genuinely a ham when he's off the clock, and really enjoys goofing around and making people laugh. At tradeshows, he loves meeting people of all ages and introducing them to bird hunting. He has also been a steady teacher for many new hunters/dog handlers, showing them the ropes of how to work with a dog in the field in real hunts.

He has achieved all of his Working Certificates up to Excellent, his Junior and Senior Hunt Titles, and has a pass towards his Master Hunt Title. His ultimate joy has been during hunting season, especially for upland and big honkers. Outside of that, he spends most of his time as moral support for less confident dogs, or playing with his favourite toys (or his water pail...)
