OUR GIRLS

Birddog’s Ebonstar Blast of Trinity JH SH “Kimber”

(FC AFC Teddy’s Ebonstar James X The Blast’s Fisticuffs MH30-MNH ** )

Kimber is the first female puppy we have bought in over 9 years. So far this girl is a natural in the field! Kimber has proven to have a wonderful work ethic and strong retrieving desire. This girl LOVES the water! She has a huge desire to please, is quick to learn and is a pure joy to have in the house. Kimber earned her Senior Hunter title by going 4/4! I missed my girl so much that I decided to bring her home instead of pursuing a Master title.

Birddog’s Sweet Mystique

(FC AFC Glenhoma’s El Chupacabra QA2 X Birddog’s Sweet Remembrance)

Mystique is a gorgeous dark chocolate female that has one of the most unique chocolate pedigrees anywhere! We spent years researching and planning the litter that produced Mystique. You can go back 14 generations and still not find another chocolate dog. Yet you can trace the hidden chocolate factor back through generations of exceptional field trial dogs . On her mother’s side the chocolate factor comes from Hall of Fame retriever 1961 & 1963 NFC CNFC AFC Del-Tone Colvin.  On her sire’s side the chocolate comes from Hall of Fame retrievers FC AFC Snake Eyes-Double or Nothin’ and NAFC FC AFC Dude’s Double Or Nothin’.

Mystique’s PPG page: https://www.pawprintgenetics.com/pedigrees/dogs/details/13598/

Mystique is an extremely sweet and affectionate girl that loves to work! She is a higher energy female and boy can she run! She is the kind of dog that keeps you on your toes (just because of her speed)! She can flat out mark and is very fast out and back with her birds. She doesn’t give up in thicker cover and has a strong nose. Mystique is tenacious at digging out those hidden birds in difficult cover. She is still learning to handle, but that is purely my fault. This girl is crazy smart and picks up new concepts quickly. She is a lot of fun in the field, but a total cuddle bug in the home. Mystique knows to either lay down and chew on a bone or will snuggle up for some lovies.

Weight: 55 to 60 pounds.

Liberty is a hard charging female with a super sweet personality. She is a beast when it comes to training and hunting. She absolutely loves to work and does it with ease, style and a level of tenacity that sets her apart.  Liberty also has a huge desire to please and is a true team player.

When not training, Liberty is extremely loving and attentive.  This girl is a true definition of a shadow. She prefers to be with people and will often just sit and watch me no matter what I am doing. During group play sessions with the other dogs, she will play hard, but always check in with me. If it is relaxation time, she will either grab a bone to chew on or simply lay down.

Ditto’s PPG page: http://www.pawprintgenetics.com/pedigrees/dogs/details/18134/

Ditto was an unplanned addition to the Bird Dog Labs LLC family in 2019. We didn’t intend to keep a puppy from the 3rd Maggie x Maestro litter, but she made it pretty clear that she was my puppy through and through. When she was little she would constantly watch me and always wanted to either interact with me or be with-near me as much as possible. She has never been an insecure puppy, just obviously happiest with me. How could I say no to that?

Ditto is a smaller package than her full sister Deja (from the first breeding), but has many of the same qualities that makes this breeding so special. Ditto is very loyal with a huge desire to please. She has a fantastic on/off to her and absolutely loves to do anything that results in the “good girl.” In the field she is very quick, agile and determined. She loves to work and enjoys training for both waterfowl and upland, though I feel she excels at the upland more. She has a very strong nose, quarters naturally and is a true team player.

Birddog’s Simply Irresistible  “Freya”

(Birddog’s Riparian Remington MH X Riparian Ghostrider QA2)

Freya is an absolutely gorgeous, slightly smaller version of her mother Remi! Freya is so very sweet and smart! She equally loves her field time as she does her cuddle time. Freya has a strong natural on/off to her. She is an absolute beast when it comes to training and hunting, yet when in the house she is calm.

Birddog’s Riptide Perfect Shot “Bailey”

(Birddog’s Riptide Vertigo X 4xGMPR Wingmagic’s Santa Fe Jake MH QA2)

 

Bailey is everything we wanted to produce when we made this special breeding happen! She is absolutely beautiful, medium chocolate color with a thick yet athletic build. Her personality is hard to beat. Bailey is extremely sweet with a strong desire to please. Bailey is smart, driven and easy to train. She gives 100% to anything that is asked of her and she is a true team player. She is a fantastic marker and has always been a natural quarterer when upland hunting. Bailey has also demonstrated a natural point on many occasions. Her strong natural on/off to her makes her a joy to have around the house. She is very affectionate and loves to cuddle. Bailey is one of our social butterflies that gets along with everyone. Bailey regularly helps socialize our litters of puppies.

Bailey has a very special pedigree and comes from the only two chocolate bloodlines that have won a National Championship. Her maternal grandsire is NFC AFC Storm’s Riptide Star. Bailey’s sire Jake is a full sibling to CNAFC FC AFC CFC CAFC Upon The Wings of an Answered Prayer NDL “Ammo” and FC GRHRCH “Buddy” MH QA2.

Birddog’s Magic Power Of Phoebe

(Birddog’s Power of the Phoenix MH X Birddog’s Magic Brook McBunn JH

Phoebe is extremely special to us. She is from the final litter between our Brook JH and Phoenix MH. We actually did this final repeat breeding with the intention of keeping a female. Phoebe has big shoes to fill and thankfully she inherited many wonderful traits from both parents. She is a big powerful female that is a force in the field. She kicks dirt up anytime she takes off and and is very hard charging. Phoebe has her sire’s marking ability and almost always steps on her marks. When in thicker cover, she is tenacious and refuses to give up. When we are not working, Phoebe is a total hoot!  She is a total goof, but knows when it is time to calm down in the house. Phoebe usually is a lay down to chew a bone kind of girl, but still enjoys her cuddle time. She is not a clingy type of dog, but likes to be a part of whatever is going on.

Birddog’s Angel Grace  “Angel”

(Birddog’s Power Of The Phoenix MH X Birddog’s Riptide Vertigo)

Angel was an unplanned keeper from our January 2022 litter between Phoenix and Dizzy. The entire litter had been reserved, but we had a last minute back out for a black female. This turned out to be a complete gift. Angel was the female that became available and I just couldn’t let her go. This turned out to be one of the best decisions I could have made.

Angel was named after her great grandma Grace (my foundation female that passed away 2 weeks shy of her 15th birthday in February 2022). Angel had many traits that reminded me of Grace, but also had even more that took after her dad Phoenix. Little did I know at the time, but this was our very last litter from Phoenix. Angel was and continues to be a daily reminder of how precious of a gift she is.
 
 Angel has grown into an absolutely gorgeous, big powerful female. She has the ultimate personality with a huge desire to please. Angel is so similar to how Phoenix was. In the field she is a true team player, a very quick learner and fabulous marker. Angel absolutely loves to work, but is not the kind of dog that needs to every day. She has a strong natural on/off to her. She is so chill in the house. Angel has many of her dad’s silly traits too! She does sneaky drive by gentle kisses. She also does what I called the “itchy butt dance” that Phoenix would do while swirling between my legs. She literally makes me laugh all the time. Angel was a very quick maturing dog and what I call a gentle soul. Because of how sweet and gentle she was with little puppies even at an early age, Angel quickly became one of my “puppy socializers.” This is a very special role that is only given to my most trusted dogs. My canine puppy socializers are part of our puppy development program. This is something that is completely unique to Bird Dog Labs.

Cadence was our singleton puppy born August 26, 2022. She is an absolutely gorgeous, super dark fox red athletic female. Cadence is a high drive girl that absolutely loves to retrieve and has silly playful personality. She did well her first hunting season and we are looking forward to advancing her in 2024!

Upcoming Females

We are very selective on the girls that enter our breeding program. They must pass our stringent requirements which are too many to list individually. In short they must be proven working dogs through either real world hunting or hunt test titling. They must also have desirable personalities and temperaments that make wonderful house companions and family members. If all goes as planned, these girls will enter our program after they are two years old and have obtained their official health clearances.

Birddog’s Yabba-Dabba Do  “Wilma”

(Birddog’s Way-Da-Go Yogi MH X Birddog’s Go-Getter Gabby)

 
 
We had been planning to keep a Gabby-Yogi puppy in 2024, but when Gabby needed an emergency cesarean in 2023 we decided to retire her and keep a female. Wilma is already proving to be everything we wanted in our puppy from this cross! She is a retrieving machine, social butterfly like both of her parents, complete goofball and a total gem in the house! Wilma is also a complete love bug too!

Piper is a beautiful medium framed female that is extremely sweet! She loves to work, but also to just be a part of the family. We are very excited to see what the future holds for Piper!
