Kol Lake Creeks Dark Knight was whelped at Coyote Creek Retriever Kennel on September 22, 2001. The Sire is FC AFC Kensbridge Darkly Handsome and the Dame is Kustatin Seven One Delta MH. There were 9 fuzzy little Black puppies in this Deli X Dean batch. Kol's mother is a RedBlonde who is a medium sized muscular lady who competes for the Kennel. His father a large black dog lives in comfort near Florence Oregon and is custom trained by his special lady trainer owner. Both his parents retrieve with pride.

Kol is in the field every day in one way or another. At 4 months he retrieved his first grouse. His training at Floras Lake has been sustained and intensive. He is the lakes Kite Instructor, specializing in retrieving. He is on the wind surfing staff at Floras Lake and has trained every child who comes to the point. When he tires them out retrieving he will usually beat them in soccer. Kol works for the love of play.

Our little 70 lb. Black Lab family member obviously has taken charge of Les and Ann. Ann took the picture of Kol hunting with Les at the Triangle Lake Pheasant Farm. He managed to get his first pair of Rooster Pheasants and now has the skins drying. He is preparing to learn Pontoon Boat management this winter as he loves fly fishing. To his credit he has retrieved one strike indicator. He thinks they should not be on the water as they resemble dry flies. Kol is from the Dark Side. Let not this be a demerit for him as he retrieves the Register Guard newspaper every early morning. He has been known to read on the way back to the habitat. If the news is too "Bushy" he will race ahead drop the paper and pee on it. Like his buddy "Les is More" he is registered an Independent. This is a good sign!
