Duckling's Kennel - Labrador Retriever

"Tribute"

Appassionato JP Monamour's Star is born in Japan on the 29th of February 2012. He is white & tan and has a rough coat.
Tribute is 28 cm high and has a correct scissors bite with full dentition. He has healthy patellas and was cleared from hereditary eye disease in July 2013. He is tested normal for Primay Lens Luxation and he is BAER tested OK.

I co-own Tribute with Dr Alan Hargrave in USA, where he also lives, together with Duckling's JR Just Joy (GLEE) and some Lyrical's Russell Terriers.

We had the opportunity to buy Tribute with the help of Kao Miichi of Mon Amour JRTs, as his breeder Kazuo Abe lives in the tsunami area in Japan and could not keep him.
He is a well constructed dog with excellent movements and he has an exciting pedigree.

Tribute has done well at shows in USA. At Eukanuba/AKC National Championship 2012 he got BOB, see video further down. On November 9, 2013 he became US Grand Champion. He now also has several Group placings and in August 2013 he won his first Best In Show.

In the end of 2014 "Tributes" first puppies in Sweden were born, JR Just O-litter.

Conditioned, handled and owned by Alan Hargrave. I am the happy co-owner.

Tribute always happy!

Tribute and Alan went to Budapest for the World Dog Show and INTERRA 2013.
To Tribute it was more important to tell the girls and give them his calling card!
