Cuda was a working retriever with an exceptional performance record and driving desire to please. He was a wonderful hunting companion as well as a very successful field trial competitor who set the standard for chocolates. His outstanding athleticism and disposition provided us with great pleasure at home as well as on the field trial circuit. Cuda was raised in our home amongst children and assorted pets. His dam, Missy Blueblack, was born in our home and is a littermate to our FC AFC Rio Lago MH who qualified for twelve U.S. Nationals and five Canadian Nationals. A tribute to Cuda’s quality as a sire are his 93 American Kennel Club titled progeny in addition to his CKC, NAHRA and UKC titled offspring.
In the spring of 1997, Cuda became the all time high point all-age Chocolate Labrador in the history of the American Kennel Club. Cuda recorded the first Chocolate Labrador Field Champion and Amateur Field Champion titles in 1996 and followed with the Canadian Field Champion and Canadian Amateur Field Champion titles in 1997. Later in 1997 Cuda earned the AKC Master Hunter title. All of Cuda’s titles and points have been amateur handled. Cuda qualified for four U.S. Nationals and five Canadian Nationals and was a Finalist in the 1997 Canadian National Amateur Retriever Championship.
