HRCH Gator Point’s Bayou Chopper SH “Chopper”
Chopper” earned his UKC Hunting Retriever Championship (HRCH) title at the age of 21 months making him eligible for his first Grand attempt at the 2008 Spring International Grand at a mere 23 months. He is currently participating in the AKC’s hunt test program and earned his Senior Hunter (SH) while still a 2 year old.
Chopper's 75 lbs of dark, rich chocolate and rock hard muscles, along with his extremely good looks, turn heads where ever he goes. He boasts a pedigree rich with proven success and record breaking statistics. He is a well-rounded Champion – in the field, blind or at home. Chopper combines elements of style, incredible speed, desire and talent to his work ethic. His natural ability is beyond measure. One who watches Chopper “at work” can only admire the effectiveness of speed and athletic ability.
