 We’re thrilled to announce an exciting upcoming pairing: Arlo × Maggie! 

This is a breeding we are extremely excited about, combining proven performance, outstanding genetics, and exceptional temperament.Arlo is a Dual Champion and Senior Hunter who has proven himself both in competition and as a producer, consistently throwing successful pups in NAVHDA and AKC programs. He is known for his drive, style, biddability, and excellent temperament. Arlo is sired by HOF DC/AFC Gamble’s Odyssey Fritz UT II 198, whose influence is well established through multiple Hall of Fame offspring, adding depth and consistency to this already proven pedigree. Maggie perfectly complements Arlo. She is a natural bird finder, loves to run hard and hunt with purpose, and is extremely intelligent. Just as important, Maggie has a wonderful off switch in the house, making her an excellent companion when the work is done. She balances drive and brains with an easy, enjoyable temperament.

 This pairing is expected to produce versatile, athletic puppies with strong hunting instincts, trainability, and excellent family-friendly temperaments.
