‘BEN‘
CH St John’s Gentle Ben II
English-type black Labrador Retriever, male – available for stud service.
Gentle, Brilliant, and Gorgeous, with a side of Silly.
Ben is the most delightful Labrador you can imagine. He has the happiest, most easygoing, everyone-is-his-friend outlook on life. A big goofball with a great sense of humor, Ben will quickly become your favorite. He makes us laugh! This big, gorgeous (otherwise dignified) dog carrying a silly toy wherever he goes. It’s hard to be down when Ben’s around. He is also super intelligent. Ben’s cooperative attitude makes him a quick study that is eager to please. It seems like he learns new things in only a couple training sessions.
He is outstanding in the show ring—everyone’s eyes are instantly drawn to him! Ben is a well-proven stud dog. In the litters he has sired, we are seeing excellent family-oriented, versatile companions that have a ton of their father in them. He is everything we could hope for in a Country Labs’ dog. We have so much love for this great dog, oh my goodness!
