I purchased Jorja from Marion Daniel of mar-Moye Labradors in the spring of 2003.  Jorja was a high spirited girl, happy and full of life!  In May of 2005, at the request of Marion, I showed Jorja at the Miami Valley Labrador Retriever Club specialty in Hamilton, Ohio and she took first place in her class.  The next spring, we took Jorja to the Labrador Club of the Potomac and she took first in her class again at this prestigious show!  Michael Silva (Shadowbrook Labradors) noticed Jorja and approached us about showing Jorja for us and getting her AKC championship. 

We agreed to allow Michael to take Jorja back to California and show her under a co-ownership.  Michael and Jorja did extremely well, bringing in multiple BISS and BOS wins.  After about a year, Jorja finished her championship and was bred to MBISS Ch. Wiscoy's Robin.  We kept two of the puppies from that litter and they are here with us at North Country, Carly and Maggie. 

Jorja now is solely owned by the Silva family and resides with them in New Jersey.  Our thanks go to the Silva family, and especially Michael, for doing such a wonderful job with her.  Jorja is one very special girl and will forever be in our hearts here at North Country!

See some of Jorja's show record below.  She is a 4-time Specialty Winners Bitch with 2 BISS wins and 2 BOSS wins!
