Default Miss Mollie at 15 months
Miss Mollie passed her first two HRC Seasoned tests. I've been in South Carolina running her with our trainer. Next week two more HRC Seasoned tests. Then a few more AKC senior tests as the Spring progresses. Then she will be home for RnR the end of April to just be a dog LOL. Then back for a Summer of training close to home and more hunt tests. She will be first in the batting order for the 2026 duck season. Sweet little girl with a big heart and tons of go. It kills me to have her away so long but she will have a sound foundation.

Good Gosh...she'll have a PhD when her education is over!

What good times you're in for, Craig. I hope there are plenty of ducks for her this coming season.

Mollie passed two more HRC tests for her HR Hunting Retriever title, HR Vanderbilt's Miss Mollie. She will be running her first AKC Senior test next weekend.
She loves to dance, she loves to jive, just don't break honey LOL. The girl has a big motor and plenty of drive.

Awesome. This has me longing for a lab pup. I was training and hunt testing my brother's black lab at the same time as my yellow June. On the last marked retrieve for his HR, the judge almost hit him in the head with the diversion bird. He reached down and picked it up without dropping the bird in his mouth and quickly made it to heal and delivered the birds perfectly. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Congratulations Craig.

Miss Mollie will be 2 YO in November. She has her Senior AKC title and HRC Hunting Retriever title and will run her first Master test this coming weekend. She comes home next week for a full schedule of Ducks and upland including a trip out west. Here is a video of her
today.

I know enough about what retrievers do to know your Mollie is very well trained. It must be a sheer delight to hunt over a pup like that. You will have a great year ahead (and many more to follow).
