Cook would have turned 13 years in December 2018, but in November we had to say goodbye and thank you for many magnificent days and years to this lovely dog, who gave us wonderful puppies, memorable retrieves and so many years of good companionship.
He was a physically strong and relatively large dog, with an excellent coat. His lovely temperament made it a pleasure to work with him, a temperament which he passed on to his offspring. We have ourselves used him for 4 litters over the years and we were very pleased with the result. Some of his offspring work as service dogs for the disabled, others have a field trial carreer.
Cook has sired litters in Denmark and Germany.

Cook was homozygot black.”
