Louisiana Roux - About Us

This is Ammo, the Roux pup that is setting field trail records. Bill is still on the road heading toward the Metro Field Trial at the end of October 2009 to wrap up Ammo's derby career. Just how many points will she have?

What are others saying about Louisiana Roux Puppies?

Bailey is an outstanding dog which I would attribute this to her exceptional pedigree. She is from the Roux and Phoebe (Chris Pleiman in SLC, Utah) 3/1/08 litter. Bailey is very intelligent with great drive which makes her training a breeze. Her favorite thing in this world is the love of water. Seen in the picture is Bailey competing in dock diving. She is doing great! Last week she received her first sponsor (Ezy Dog).

Here is one of her last competitions in CO

Preacher is a dream to work with. He is very much a team player and really wants to please. He is very intelligent and catches on very quickly; to the point that you can almost see the wheels turning inside his head. He is very excitable and has lots of energy but as soon as the lead goes around his neck he is able to flip the switch and he is all business. He is very obedient, quiet and statuesque at the line; the only thing that moves is his head. Everyone that sees him loves his build and color (especially his head). I’ve never had a dog like him before and I’d encourage anyone looking for a great chocolate to seriously consider a Roux pup. Thank you Frank & Debbie for allowing me to carry on Roux's legacy!

Thanks,

Yep, Pearl and Preacher both stole the show! Preacher is a chunk now, a very blocky head and solid foundation on that one.

They had a puppy stake with Pigeons. She wasn’t to sure about the pigeons at first. I’ve been using teal and Dokken teal with her so she wasn’t to sure but then she realized it was something to retrieve and she just went bonkers for em. I would say she was doing 30 to 40 yard retrieves by the time we got done.

Rowdy's doing real good. He's a cool little dog. Great personality, loves to do the work. Drills, yard, marks, makes no difference to him. I usually only train 2 or 3 days a week depending on what we're working on. We're in swimby now but don't expect to be there much longer.Bill's (Thompson) been after me to put him on his truck soon.

Bronco is doing exceptionally well. I've been to two training sessions with the Southwestern Pennsylvania Retriever Club, the second one being yesterday. Bronco was doing marks (bumper with a pheasant wing attached) at 40-50 feet, (over the course of 6 hours I ran him 3 times for 9 marks). Everyone was very impressed with him. They thought he was beautiful and did a great job with the marks. He did several through some light cover without hesitation. The most heard comment from several guys was, "Bronco is way ahead of where he should be, keep doing what you're doing". He is filling out and is a gorgeous boy.

Just a little update on Zues he graduated force fetching this week and a little note on the side from the trainer about the our pups we are all so proud of.

You'll be happy to hear that your baby has just graduated Force Fetching. Next week he starts full marking drills. Should be ready for his first jr hunt test late July but we will see. I Know your Breeder likes updates on how the pups are. You can pass on how good Zues is doing and tell them they really did a good job with their breeding for sure.

Hunter is doing great . Still training him every day . And the more I train him the better he likes it . What can I say we have a bond that is so close I believe he knows what I'm thinking . I love this dog so much . And I know he loves me .

I have 3 of these pups now to work with and another coming when I get an opening. These pups are fun to work with. All are showing lots if drive and marking ability. They respond to different concepts very well. Ryder, the pup you saw is still doing exceptional marks. Ryder earned his HRCH at 14 months old.

About two years ago I started looking for a Labrador that I would be able to run in AKC Field Trials. I came across an ad for this good looking chocolate stud dog that I really liked the looks of, and who also had a great pedigree. So I looked through the upcoming breeding that Frank had lined up for Roux. One female really stood out to me, and I really liked the way the pedigree's came together, so I decided to purchase a male puppy from that litter. Gator is everything I was looking for, and more than I could have hoped for. Besides being a very handsome boy he is also, very intelligent, tractable, great marker, and an absolute team player.

Colby is doing well....we are towards the end of FF because I've taken my time and his. He is a really good marker and has great focus at the line. Incredible disposition and doesn't get rattled at anything....I used the vacumm cleaner on him last night to clean up some loose hairs...he just stood there. Great OB and loves water also.
