Bodie belongs to Ray and Linda Ostrander of Sundance Creek Retrievers in Sheridan, Wyoming, and he is the reason Hazel's 2026 litter exists. We watched him run for three seasons before we asked. He's an All-Age dog with an amateur handler — Ray trained and ran him to both titles — which tells you about his trainability as much as his talent. On the line he's quiet and fast to settle; in the house, Linda says, he is furniture. He is B/B, so he cannot produce chocolate, and DM-clear, which matters with Hazel.

Why we drove to Wyoming

Hazel brings the nose, the quiet and the soft temperament; what we wanted from a sire was more style on the water and more push, without losing the off switch. We watched Bodie run at trials in Montana and Wyoming for three seasons, met his offspring, and asked Ray and Linda in the spring of 2025.

On paper: Bodie is clear on every DNA test we run, including DM, which covers Hazel's DM carrier status; he is B/B, so no chocolates; and the two share no ancestor in five generations, for a litter COI of 1.9%. The breeding was fresh chilled semen collected in Sheridan and flown to Missoula, with our vet doing the inseminations on June 19 and 21.
