Scotch
Scotch is a wonderful lab with lots of energy and a will to please. She is a fantastic retriever both in and out of water and LOVES swimming. She seems to have gotten the energy and athletic ability of her mum as well as the lovable and cuddly traits of her dad. A GREAT combo. To top it off she has an UNBEATABLE nose and is a natural at scent work.
Scotch had her first litter in 2019 at age 3. I finally felt she was mature enough to be a mother and boy was I right! She did an EXCELLENT job... following perfectly in her mother's (Zodi's) footsteps. I was so impressed with her first litter (see our boy "Rain"... her son) that in 2021 she had the Yachting litter with ArtiZen which produced my lovely girl Luff. Scotch was planned to have her last litter later that year with outside stud Wakan and was surgical bred for that litter but was ALSO bred accidentally when her son broke through the gates to gain access to her. That litter, the Delicious Desserts litter, was a beautiful kaleidoscope of colours and coats as a result of double recessive genes.
Scotch will have one more litter in late 2022 and afterwards will enter retirement here at Skylit. Scotch has a very close relationship with her family here… her mother Zodi, father Sunner, daughter Luff, son Rain and half sister Kindi.
