Marty (Oct. 82-May 93) is the current all-time high point yellow labrador. Charles and Yvonne Hays received Marty as a stud fee puppy from Greg Gieske from the breeding of his Mad Mouse daughter, AFC Minnie Mouse, to the Hays' stud dog, AFC Westwinds Pedro.

Marty qualified for eight National Amateurs. He competed in seven (he had died prior to the '93 trial) and was a Finalist in four. He qualified for and competed in six National Open Championships. Marty was the high-point amateur dog in the the U.S. three times. In 1989 Dave Rorem, a professional trainer from International Falls, MN, handled Marty in the Canadian National Open and won. The next year Charles won the Canadian National Amateur Championship.

Marty was a three time Double Header winner. During the late 80's and early 90's he was 'Mr. Consistency'. He accumulated 329.5 All-Age points, averaging 41 points yearly. Marty inherited his 'braininess' from his grandfather, FC-AFC Candlewood's Mad Mouse. Marty was a great competitor and friend.
