So tell me about his pups. I have read some things about him but not so much on how his pups turned out.

To try to generalize certain aspects of a sire when the dam brings 50 percent of her genetics to the offspring as well does not always hold up.. I like what he produces.. marking, looks, tractability, focus, and desire, and ability to "chill out" in previous breedings. I've never heard "only for experienced trainers"... that's not my experience..but could certainly be others based on the pedigree match and individual dog.thanks for the replies. I know he was an accomplished stud, but to be more specific did he pass on the hard charging only for experienced trainers attitude that i have heard he was?
Oh, and i did the search but looks like i stopped short of 2008 as after 5-6 pages i was only at 2011.
My "Rebel" would also sleep quietly in the dog box, and did the big stretch also after coming out of the box.The dog in my avatar is a Rebel son. He is a GMHR, SH, MH and QAA. He is by far the smartest, easiest to train lab we have ever had. He has sired many wonderful pups, many who have earned their MH and GMHR titles. Bear, like Rebel would run as fast on a blind as he did on a mark. He would sleep in his cage until time to go to the line, he would come out of his cage give a big stretch than you better hang on. He was trained (mostly on the weekends ) and handled by my husband.
Bears dam was AFC Bams Liberty Belle MH.
I have a 4 year old Rebel dog as well. What bitch is yours out of, just curious. Mine is in my avatar as well. He weighs 94 lbs and he runs his blinds so hard it is like trying to stop a freight train. but he is fantastic marker.The dog in my avatar is a Rebel bred dog, is 4yrs old now.

She's not vocal and steady in the blind. She's the best lab I've ever owned, runs a 300 yd cold blind same as a mark. I'd buy another pup from a Rebel strain in a minute
x3 Stretch, Style, and a thing for pheasant flyers, Easy to train, but will test inexperienced handlers, then again most Great dogs will do that, if you let them get away with itMy "Rebel" would also sleep quietly in the dog box, and did the big stretch also after coming out of the box.
