This is a pairing we are really looking forward to. Griff and Katie both come from exceptional field pedigrees and represent exactly what we strive to produce at Bayou Gundog, trainable, talented Golden Retrievers with wonderful temperaments that can excel in the field and at home.
Katie is one of the best-bred females in our kennel, the product of an outstanding FC × GRHRCH breeding. She is calm, steady, and incredibly easy to handle, making her a pleasure to train and hunt with. Katie has earned her HRCH this spring and is taking some time off from competing.
Griff is a son of our Deacon × Bonnie breeding and has been an exceptional performer from the start. He earned his HRCH title at just 21 months old, going a perfect 8-for-8 in HRC events and finished his MH title at 22 months old. Griff has all recommended GRCA health clearances, a clear genetic panel, and spends his fall hunting waterfowl across the country.
We expect this litter to produce puppies with excellent natural ability, strong marking skills, high trainability, and the calm, biddable personalities that make them equally enjoyable in the duck blind, at hunt tests, or as active family companions. If you’re looking for a Golden Retriever with proven genetics, a sound mind, and the potential to go as far as you want to take them, this is a litter you’ll want to watch.
This natural breeding occurred 11/3/26-11/5/26; after a 30 day confirmation, puppies are expected the first week of January 2027.
We are excited to announce this upcoming pairing between two accomplished Golden Retrievers who bring together exceptional talent, proven performance, and outstanding temperaments.
Icee is the bold, talented pick of the litter from our foundation female, Bonnie, sired by FC Crush. A Hunting Retriever Champion and Master Hunter, Icee is a talented girl with the looks to match. In the field, she is strong, confident, and driven. At home and in the kennel, she is sweet, steady, and effortless to live with. Icee brings together power, balance, and an exceptional temperament.
Whiskey is one of the top Golden Retrievers currently competing in HRC. His accomplishments speak for themselves, and his previous litters have exceeded expectations, with puppies progressing quickly in their training.
This pairing brings together two talented retrievers with proven ability in the hunt test world, strong natural instincts, and the temperaments to make exceptional companions both in the field and at home.
We have high expectations for this cross and are excited to see what these puppies will accomplish!
Expected: Mid January 2027.
