"Punkin" is owned by Lime Creek's Deborah Joseph and Paul Young.  Punkin, the 58 pound runt of the first Lime Creek litter, 
is intense, competitive, very trainable, and a great hunter. Her great speed and tremendous drive in the field, coupled with her 
small size, led her to be christened "Paul's Pocket Rocket" while still a young pup. As long as she has had plenty of exercise, she's sweet, and cuddly at home, but she's wiry and intense in competition.

Punkin is currently the only Grand Master Pointing Retriever in Wisconsin. Her list of AKC accomplishments alone make her one of the most titled Labradors in North America. For example, she's the first Labrador to earn AKC's new second level versatile title, the VCD2, and she's the youngest Lab since 1991 to earn an advanced AKC tracking title. She had both her AKC Master Hunter title and her APLA Grand Master Pointing Retriever title while only two years old. She's the second Lab ever to earn an AKC Agility Champion title (MACH), and the only Lab ever to qualify for the final run at the AKC National Agility Championship.

She's truly the ultimate versatile working Labrador.
