Bet he doesn't complain a bit. ;)

her birthdate was 7/7/87 and she won the '90 NFC so that would make her 3 yrs and 4months approx

Don't mean to hijack this thread ... I dont' know a lot about Lab pedigrees, but not totally clueless either. I've watched many of the threads on Lab sires, bloodlines and pedigrees on RTF.

It's kind of interesting to see the sire of the NFC turn out to be NOT one of the desired sires often mentioned on those threads I've read.

Don't know the pedigree of Carbon Copy of Horn Creek ... but if someone can post the infodog link, maybe I could make a connection between him and the threads I've read.

Gerry,

I think you will see Carbon's name on that list of "desired" sires. NAFC "Carbon" is the sire of NFC "Chopper"......

Carbon's produced his share of titled offspring.

NAFC FC Carbon Copy of Horn Creek is the result of a repeat breeding of 96 High Point FC AFC Case Harden Colors, hence his name Carbon Copy.

Stu Mead of Edmondton Ontario was the first to recognize Carbon as a stud being the first to breed a bitch to Carbon. He bred his Turbo Tina to Carbon at least two, maybe three times with the second breeding producing NFC Chopper.

I have a 10 year old male from one of Carbon's early breedings, when he was just an AFC. My dog, who I retired at 6 because of skelital issues has a pair of Am wins and other AM and Open points and is my current duck hunting dog today.

Congratulations to Emmit, his owners, and Jim Gonia.

I have dreamed many times that I owned a dog who got qualified for the National at a very young age, then the dog goes on to get on a roll and win it all......but then I wake up to my reality.

That's fantastic. We look forward to watching this young dog add to this great accomplishment in the future.

I believe that makes 16 for McKenna kennels! Very difficult for any one to compete with him in the last 20 years...carbon,chopper,auggie,code blue, cosmo, and now little emmitt! Watch out for Cynthia, she's got a young dog that' right on the heels of emmitt!

Congrats to the winner!

Kudos to all the finalists, entries, handlers, owners, judges, workers, sponsors & to the Retriever News for the timely blow by blow reporting. Coverage gets better every year & is appreciated especially by those of us who tried hard but didn't get there.

Very happy for Cynthia...she is a good person who has a very special dog. I hope she keeps smiling for many years to come. Emmitt is now part of history!

Arron jimmy has 14 NFC on his license plate. I don't think he renewed the plate when carbon won the nafc. So it either 15 or 16 that he has trained. And Evans he has been winning for forty years.

And to the breeder as well Mary Tatum DVM...

Has there ever been a 3 year old retriever win the National Open?

I have been researching and from what I have found, in the last 35+ years, only 76’ NFC AFC San Joaquin Honcho, 90’ 3XNFC AFC Candlewoods Tanks A Lot and 05’ NFC Clubmead’s Road Warrior (Emmitt’s half-brother) have won a National Open at three years of age.
We are excited to be in on Emmitt's second breeding ever! Keep an eye out for Blackshirts Triple Option Threat ("Pitch")
