I feel so fortunate to have been given the opportunity to own such a promising puppy, and I'm very grateful to Judy Heim et al for trusting me with Yogi.  He embodies everything that is "Labrador" -- good looks, incredible talent and work ethic, playful and obedient and possessing an outstanding temperament.  True Labrador versatility!  He is the happiest when working to please his people/trainers, Cheri Bates who started him in the field with the basics and force fetch, Betsy Arellano who trained and handled him in Rally and Obedience (and showed him in conformation from time to time) and Edna Schenck who trained and ran him for his Senior Hunter title.  But maybe he is happiest on the sofa, belly up!  :)
