Emma
My Chocolate Lab
A Go-Getter Affectionately Referred to as the "Clown".
I obtained Emma from Gomagan Kennels (Waterville Pet Resort) in Cody's, New Brunswick.
Born March 10, 2001, Emma is a character who never fails to make people laugh with her antics. She can usually be found running full speed through the woods, leaping over obstacles with her nose into the wind. She loves to find and flush birds, and earned her Working Certificate title at the Eastern Flyway Hunting Retriever Club Test in Milford, NS in September 2002. Emma also earned her Junior Hunter title with 3 straight qualifying scores in July 2003. When not running through the woods, Emma can usually be found in her second favourite spot...the couch!
Emma has also been trained in agility and obedience. She earned her CD title in May 2002, having completed one leg at the Saint John Obedience Club Trials May 4-5, and two legs at the Beresford Trials May 25-26. Emma did well in the obedience ring, placing 2nd Highest in Class in the Saint John Trial and Highest in Class in the Beresford Trial! She also earned her CKC Canine Good Neighbour certificate at the Oromocto show in June 2002. Emma began training for her CDX in October 2002.
Emma started her show career with a bang at a very young age, placing 2nd in group and taking Best Puppy in Group at a fun match in Saint John, New Brunswick at the tender age of 3 months. She continued to do well in the show ring and completed her Canadian Championship with 3 majors! Her show highlights include:
 Taking Reserve Winners Bitch over 8 other female labs at the Miramichi Kennel Club Show in September 2001 under Judge Suzanne Morrow-Francis.
 Winning Best Puppy in Breed over 9 other puppies at the New Brunswick Kennel Club Show in Saint John in November 2001 under Judge Bruce Owen!
