FC AFC CFC CAFC Barracuda Blue MH

FC AFC CFC CAFC Barracuda Blue MH was used for three successful HuntersCreek Retrievers breedings. The off-spring from HuntersCreek Apache Ace are now running Hunt Test, Field Trials and retrieving ducks across the country. "Cuda" as he was known threw some phenominal Chocolate puppies, whelped on October 2, 1990 Cuda lead in producing results on the Field Trial Circuit. Unfortunately, he passed away February 13, 2003; but his memory lives in some of the outstanding Chocolates on the circuit today.

Amateur trainers Charles and Missy Tyson, of Silver Creek Kennels in Davis, CA took the lead in running Cuda extensively in Field Trials in the US and Canada. Cuda was a working retriever with an exceptional performance record and driving desire to please. He was an enthusiastic hunting companion as well as a successful field trial competitor. His outstanding athleticism and wonderful disposition produced many energetic offspring with absolutely wonderful temperaments . Cuda was raised in the Tyson home among children and a variety of pets. His dam, Missy Blueback, is full sister to FC AFC Rio Lago MH who has qualified for twelve US nationals and five Canadian nationals.

In the spring of 1997 Cuda became the all time high point all~age Chocolate Labrador in the history of the American Kennel Club. This achievement is highlighted by the fact that his titles and the points have all been Amateur handled. Cuda is the only chocolate Lab to obtain five major titles including Field Champions, Amateur Field Champion, Canadian Field Champion, Canadian Amateur Field Champion & Master Hunter. Cuda is the first and only Chocolate Labrador to qualify for the National Amateur Championship, he qualified for the 96 and 97 National Amateur Championship and completed the 7th and 9th series as well as being a 97 Canadian National Amateur Finalist. Altogether, Cuda qualified for four US nationals and five Canadian nationals and averaged 7.5 series in the six nationals. Cuda was the first chocolate Lab to win two junior Double Headers, the only other chocolate lab to do so is Cuda’s son Ryder. Cuda was also the 95 and 96 High point all~age chocolate Labrador with 35 Derby points (23.5 FC, 55 AFC, 9 Canadian). Cuda has 6 Master Hunter ribbons. Barracuda Blue will be sorely missed by many but his legacy will live on in his progeny.
