Patriots Chilbrook 'Hope' Of Firefly JH FDC BCAT CGCA CGCU STR TKN ATT VHMA VHMP VSWB FTN

Hope has been a wonderful addition to our family. I am extremely grateful to Denise, of Firefly Kennels, for allowing us to bring this girl into our home.

Even though Hope’s initial puppy socialization and training were delayed, due to me being stupid & breaking both my arms just days after her arrival; she persevered and adapted to the situation. At just 9 weeks old, Hope sensed something wasn’t right and went from a typical Labrador puppy with all the shenanigans, to a puppy with the best manners, extremely well behaved, and concern for her newly acquired human.

Hope always has the best attitude and loves everyone; other dogs & critters included. She is calm and confident, intelligent, very trainable with a strong desire to please. She's able to focus in distracting environments while having a keen sense of awareness to her surroundings. She has an amazing off switch and is comfortable just laying around the house, yet when asked to ‘work’ she is all in, with a can-do attitude.

Hope has a ton of natural hunt instinct. She's a phenomenal marker and lots of style picking up blinds. When my husband first started working with her hunting skills, she suddenly became a Daddy’s girl. She sees him with a bumper or a gun and she is instantly at a heel next to his side.

Some of Hope’s favorites include: Anything that has to do with hanging out with her human dad; retrieving, swimming, fishing, scenting, critter watching out the window, playing with her fur siblings, and most importantly, giving and getting cuddles by all.

Hope currently weighs 52 pounds. She may be small, but don't underestimate her ability to do hard things. Hope is truly a dog that can do it all.
