We are proud to announce that David tried his hand at running his own dogs, HRCH Blackwater Harlie Davidson and Harlie's daughter, HRCH Big Creek's Jorja Peach at the Fall 2010 International Grand Hunting Retriever competition. This was his first try at a Grand event and he was successful in completing 2 series with Jorja and 3 series with Harlie. It wasn't enough to earn a "grand pass" , but it was enough to earn recognition for the difficulty of the task. Every dog that at least makes it through 2 series earns a rosette. Each day after that, you attach a flat ribbon that indicates how many series your dog passed.

 They don't call it the "Grand" for nothing!  We have a new respect for dogs and handlers that complete all 5 days.  For those that don't know about the rules of the grand, the dog and handler are only allowed one mediocre test score for the entire 5 days of tests. Upon completion of the event, you win one "pass" at the Grand.  But if that's not enough. To earn a GRHRCH title, you must earn 2 "grand passes". That is 10 days of perfection!

Now a little about us:
We offer yellow, black or chocolate labrador retriever puppies, started, seasoned, and finished dogs for sale. We are located on a small farm and we have lots of room for our dogs to run, hunt and train.

Our goal at Big Creek Labs, is to raise and own the very finest labrador retrievers that we can. We seek out accomplished stud dogs with high pedigrees and excellent health checks. In doing so, we offer puppies and sometimes started dogs that will be an all around versatile dog that is trainable, intelligent, and healthy.

We believe in bringing our dogs into our home and making them a part of the family. As a result, they are content to lie on their pad napping and hanging out, but when they see us dressed in camo, they are ready to go to work.  When we are not training in the yard, we spend lots of time hunting pheasants, doves, ducks and quail as well as guiding duck and pheasant hunts.  We also participate in Hunting Retriever Club hunt tests.
