I talked to Chad last night, and he said Grady was at an emergency vet in Richmond with some breathing problems. He has some fluid in his chest, fever, and on O2. Could be complications from his grass awn incident earlier in the year.

Today, Chad said he looked better but he was waiting to see a specialist.

Everybody say a little prayer for the G-man's fast recovery

Oh No! I've never met Chad, but had the honor of meeting Grady at the Lardy, et al workshop in GA this winter. As focused and incredibly talented as Grady is on line and in the field-he iis such a laid back gentleman when he's not working. He's just a nice, nice dog who happens to be blessed with talent. A very balanced dog that anyone would be happy to have on line or lying around the house.

Hope all is well.

Only met Chad one time at the '08 National here in Texas. What a nice, nice, gentleman. We own a Grady pup out of Chad Cox's breeding, and have used Grady as a stud as well. Chad will occasionally check up on the progress of our pups. He certainly cares about his Grady babies!!!

Best of luck Grady and Chad. Our prayers are with you.

Foxtail can be one bad a** piece of grass. It's ruined more than one retriever.

Prayers coming from the north hoping they can get to the root cause and fix it..

Thanks guys and gals. They put a Chesttube in this afternoon to drain fluids that are pressing on his lungs we have him on two types of antibiotics now and his fever is normal now. Ct scan showed lots of infection to scary to go after so we are trying to get it localized with strong antibiotics to a focal point that surgery might b a option. He is on oxygen and very restless hard to imagine he was called back to second series Saturday. Keep the prayers coming Gman has a ton of heart if any dog could make it thru 3 of these deals he can. Special thanks to Pat Burns and Nick Elam they reacted quickly Friday night and took his to emergency clinic, pat didn't get but 2 hrs of sleep. Shows good things happen to good people, pat won and nick got second and both q'ed for national open.

Chad, I am so sorry to hear about Grady being sick. You know he is a fighter with a heart of gold. Many, many prayers send from our family to yours for a speedy recovery. Big hug for the GMan and your family too.
