                                                               It's over! After almost twelve years,
          I've reached the decision to put Kwicklabs.com to bed.
                                    It was fun. See ya', Jim

  Taffey was retrieving to hand at less than seven weeks old and now at ten years old, she's a happy finished dog with multiple titles and has assumed the title of
the "Kwick pack leader". What a great journey it has been!   She has a few goals left to attain in terms of firsts and another was taken care of this fall - her 1st canvasback.  She had her puppies awhile back and is still the pack leader of Kooly,  her daughter, yellow, "fireball"........Daisy and son Gunny.......the youngest Kwick "Dustbucket". 
 
In the early fall of 2005, on September 10th, she passed the 4th HRC Finished test and easily earned her HRCH title. On the 25th of September she earned her 5th AKC Master Hunter pass for an MH title. Since then, Taffey has spent two hunting seasons harassing pheasants in South Dakota, hiding from geese in northern Illinois
and scouring the big waters of pool 13 on the mighty Mississippi River for diver and puddle ducks. 

In 2010, Taffey and I were "the same age" - 70.
  The puppy that loved to retrieve and locked up on a ten
  second, trembling and natural point before she went
  home has now succeeded in passing on her talents. The  
  future will feature Taffey's pups doing some of the same 
  things she has done.  Taffey has retired from being an
  outstanding upland guide dog and her times in the 
  marsh, woods and fields are being carefully selected. 
  However, she can still do all of what she loves and
  excels at.....hunting.
 
  Taffey spends a time hunting and being a skilled "test
  dog" while training the younger KwickLabs,  A few
  pointing "shoot-to-retrieve" competitions are history and
  hunt tests are not in the picture. Taffey's first litter was by
  FC AFC HRCH Taylorlab Downtown Dusty Brown MH. He
  was the Top Derby Dog of 2004 and second place WRC
  finisher in 2005. Those pups are doing quite well with
  their new owners.  In 2007, Taffey had another pup by
  Dusty.  With Daisy and Gunny in the pack, an exciting
  future was almost a guarantee.
