"Scout", who is co-owned by Jennifer Winningham-Floden and Kaitlyn (Winningham) Odegaard, is a handsome, 4 year old, medium-dark golden retriever son of T-Rex of Floden Farm. Scout is also sire to our stud, Bison.
Scout qualified to compete at the MN State Fair in 2017 in rally through 4-H. He is watery, higher drive, active and loves hunting pheasant & grouse. He works beautifully! Many of his pups have taken on hunting easily.
Scout's dam, Firesides Crossfire Shooter, is out of Fireside At Your Bec N' Call**, an excellent marking, hard driving bitch with loads of heart and desire that has ran the Amateur and Open. Scout's grandsire, "Push" became the only living Triple Champion golden retriever in December of 2009. Kaitlyn has raised and loved Scout since puppyhood and lives in northern Minnesota. Scout has made frequent trips back to Floden Farm for extra training and family visits.
He is father to some of Bella's dual sire 2017 litter, and so far we have been very pleased with the pups from this litter. We kept Bison out of this wonderful breeding and decided to get back into hunt tests.
Scout loves people, playing with toys, water and will retrieve all day. Scout is a gorgeous, medium-dark golden retriever with a sweet demeanor that has a nose for pheasant.
Scout has all of his OFA health clearances recommended by the GRCA, making him CHIC-certified by the OFA - Excellent Hips, Normal Elbows, Normal Cardiac, Normal Eyes & Normal Thyroid. Additionally, he is clear of PRA-prcd, PRA1, PRA2, and DM, Ichthyosis Type 2, and unaffected genetically of Ichthyosis Type 1 (carrier status only). Scout's 5-generation pedigree even includes NAFC FC AFC Topbrass Cotton FDHF OS: http://www.k9data.com/fivegen.asp?ID=705459&type=hip
Scout is raised indoors. A typical bedtime ritual for him includes saying goodnight, saying his prayers, finding his blanket and sleeping on the floor at the foot of Kaitlyn's bed. Scout has also been socialized extensively with other dogs. He is available to Ichthyosis-clear females.
Testimonial from Jeannie of a Scout puppy: "He is 13 months old now. He has the best temperament, is doing well with dog obedience and is very healthy. He looks beautiful and people tell us he has really good structure... he seems perfect."
