Tenko (Japanese for 'yellow') is an attractive, finer boned (60lb) male with a terrific nose. His grandfather, Cruise, was a cancer detection dog we imported from Japan to diversify our breeding and complement our hunting dogs' abilities. Several of Tenko's siblings and offspring have gone on to be detection trained as well. Under our area of expertise, Tenko was trained as a retriever, and the detection drive translated well to hunting up birds in the field.  He has achieved his Working Certificate and Junior Hunter titles. 

Tenko is an independent, but friendly, dog, and has inherited an 'on/off' switch from his grandmother Brit, and mother Glide. Meaning he can easily go from motivated on the job to very relaxed in the home. He is equally pleasant to work with and live with, a very gentlemanly and handsome dog.
