Meet The Boys
ACE
Tweed's Playing For The High One RA TKNWe have a gorgeous 2-year-old neutered male looking for the perfect forever home.
He is an exceptionally talented and well-trained dog who has earned his Rally Advanced title and is currently training toward Rally Excellent. He is also extensively trained in hunt work and is on track to earn his WC, JHU, and JH titles while we search for the right family for him.
What we've come to realize is that a busy, highly social lifestyle simply isn't his happy place. He is deeply devoted to his people, loves his family, and does wonderfully with the girls in our pack. However, he is not comfortable in large social gatherings and does not enjoy the company of other male dogs. You could say he's an introvert—and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.
His reserved nature is not the result of a lack of socialization or training. He has been well socialized, well trained, and given every opportunity to experience different environments. This is simply who he is. He is a more reserved, selective dog who prefers his people and his familiar surroundings, and we don't believe his personality is something that needs to be “fixed” or worked through. We are looking for a home that appreciates him for who he is rather than expecting him to become a different kind of dog.
That said, Ace absolutely loves getting out and enjoying life with his family. He looks forward to his daily neighborhood walks, loves to go hiking and has excellent leash manners. When out and about, he is neutral or even a little shy with people and other dogs rather than feeling the need to greet everyone he meets. At home, however, you get to see his silly side. He loves playing ball in the yard and can be as goofy and playful as they come with his family. He is affectionate, loyal, and happiest when he is spending time with his people.
He would thrive in a home that appreciates his loyal, affectionate nature and can provide a calm, predictable environment. We envision him being happiest with people who enjoy spending time with him rather than taking him to hang out at a local brewery. He has so much to offer the right home and deserves a family that understands and appreciates the dog he is.
Health & Training
He is neutered and has his OFA CHIC number (221176). His health clearances include good hips, normal elbows, normal eyes, and a normal heart cleared by both auscultation and echocardiogram. He is HCM clear, has full dentition, and has no known health or allergy issues.
He is crate trained, fully e-collar conditioned, and has been pet-trained through Rock'em Dog Training. He will go to his new home with two private training sessions with Rock'em, as well as lifetime support from both our family and Rock'em. He has a solid foundation of training and is ready for a family who will continue to build on everything he has learned.
And while he is a serious boy when it comes to his training, he absolutely knows how to be a beloved family dog. He loves being with his people and sleeps on our bed with us every night. He is the kind of dog who wants to be part of his family's life and close to his people.
This is not a decision we've made lightly. Our priority is finding the perfect match where he can continue to succeed, be loved, and live his very best life. We aren't looking for just any home—we are looking for his home.
If you think you might be the right fit for this special boy, we'd love to hear from you and tell you more about him.
BLUE
Tweed's Nothing But Blue Sky RNBlue was our pick from the Casey × Lennon litter. From the first time he strutted across the whelping box, he had presence and that unmistakable “look at me” attitude.
He has the sweetest disposition and truly wants to please—but don’t let that fool you. This boy has a lot of go. He is excelling in hunt training on both waterfowl and upland and loves to get the bird. He is AKC pointed, has earned his Rally Novice (RN) title, and holds all required health clearances except hips and elbows, which we will complete at two years of age. He will return to the conformation ring once he finishes growing up; in the meantime he continues working toward additional rally, obedience, and hunt titles.
He is the same combination of beauty, brains, and birdiness that defines Tweed Retrievers—just like his mom, Lennon.
Off duty, Blue is a play machine. He especially loves sessions with his half-sister Queenie, but honestly it doesn’t matter—intact males, females, whoever is game. He is always up for a good tug or a game of ball.
