Yip's offspring you can find here.
Yip was my first dog and somehow we did work everything out quite naturally. We did not try anything too hard, but enjoyed as his happy and enthusiastic temperament to lead the way. I showed him in junior class, where he gained 1 Estonian Jun CAC and was placed 2nd in junior class at Baltic Winner Show 2003. Then we concentrated more on birdhunting and by that I mean real work with real hunters. We participated in pheasant hunt every spring and that became traditional ending of hunting season. I learned that he would qualify to participate in retrievers qualifying test only in 2013, when he was already 11 years old. Just never thought about it before. We tried once and he passed the blind search, but failed in waterwork in frozen lake - I would say he was a wise dog knowing his age and physical condition. He was very gentle and careful with those smaller than himself, always in good mood and willing to please. His tail was always wagging, so when he was already 10 years old, people could not tell the difference from happy youngster :) This is how we remember him. And it needs to be mentioned here, he definitely was a ladies man (this is why I stopped showing him after junior class - he cared too much about nice smelling girls in the showring :) But girls never interested him in hunting situations :) We returned to showring and tried again in Veteran class, where he collected all 3 needed Veteran CAC-s in only three shows we entered.
Thank you Yip, you will be always in our hearts!
