Last, but not least! Bonnie’s Pregnancy is CONFIRMED!

We’re excited to share an update on another thoughtfully planned pairing here at Bayou Gundog. Bonnie’s pregnancy is confirmed, and we’re looking forward to welcoming the Bonnie × Rider litter!

Bonnie is doing well and settling into pregnancy beautifully. She’s content, and handling everything exactly as we’d hope, and we’re very pleased with how this breeding is coming together.

Why We Chose This Pairing

This breeding pairs two highly accomplished, well-rounded retrievers who consistently demonstrate the qualities we value most in our program. Bonnie and Rider complement each other extremely well, both in the field and at home.

Together, they share:

  • Exceptional natural marking ability
  • Strong water skills and hunting drive
  • Calm, steady, and highly trainable temperaments
  • Proven performance
  • Loyal, easy-to-live-with personalities

This pairing was selected to produce dogs that are confident workers with the mental steadiness to handle any job in the field, while still being enjoyable, biddable companions for their families.

What We Expect From This Litter

Puppies from the Bonnie × Rider cross are expected to excel in:

  • Hunt tests and competitive venues
  • Active hunting homes
  • Performance-oriented training programs

Just as importantly, we expect these puppies to mature into balanced, cooperative family companions with strong off-switches and excellent trainability.

Looking Ahead

We’ll continue to share updates as Bonnie’s pregnancy progresses and as we prepare for the arrival of this litter. We’re very excited about what this pairing brings to our program and appreciate everyone who continues to follow along and support our breeding plans.

Note: We are currently accepting one additional deposit for a female from this litter
