85 pounds of drive and desire and a true blend of the finest in the retrieving field, GRHRCH UH Shambo's Pistol Pete-Chavez ("Pete") reflects the outstanding heritage, talent and promise foreshadowed by the rich blend of top competitors comprising his pedigree.  

Pete is sired by FC AFC Chena River "Chavez", an extraordinary example of the outstanding breeding between NAFC FC 2xCNAFC Ebonstar Lean Mac and FC AFC Chena River No Surprise. Chavez, a littermate to NFC Maxx's Surprise (2000 U. S. National Champion), is the number two all time sire and a forefront in the AKC field trial arena earning his FC AFC title before the age of two and by earning and continuing to qualify for 13 U. S. and Canadian Nationals.
