Shari and I really enjoy just about every aspect of raising puppies. One of the things that gives us the most fulfillment is the families that we welcome to Big Cottonwood. We have formed some great friendships! We do our best to keep up with them all and it's also fun seeing where they all go!

We had a different name all picked out, but after spending a few days with this little "Pistol" it was just much more fitting! She is something else!
Pistol is sired by GRHRCH Fowlmasters Big Black Buck MH12
& HRCH Blue Sky's Fully Involved "Ash" MH. But her loaded pedigree goes even further. Grand Sire is SRSCH 15xGRHRCH
Big Black Dude II MNH4, no other dog in history has as many Grand Passes. Looking at the bottom side of her pedigree you'll find three BIG names including 2011 NFC FC Watermark's Running Back MH "Emmitt", 2006 NAFC FC AFC Carbon Copy of Horn Creek (2008 Hall Of Fame) and 2003 NFC FC AFC Five Star General Patton.
Pistol is maturing and is turning into a very nice dog. She's coming along nicely in training and is picking up concepts quickly. Unfortunately Pistol's hips came back as "fair" so we can't with good conscious breed her. So this lucky little girl has a beautiful new home in the Rockies...

Steven Hall September 30, 2018 · "When I started the hunt to find a breeder to get a lab for my waterfowl business I was pointed in the direction of Big Cottonwood Retrievers.
I contacted The owner Grant Hatch and talked with him about a upcoming litter. After hearing the background oI chose to go ahead and put a deposit down for a pup!
Fast forward to now and our pup Rocky who is an exceptional pup and is living up to all of my expectations!
I would give BCR 5 stars . If your in the market for a Lab I would highly recommend getting ahold of BCR!"

Mikayla Knipe September 25, 2018 ·" We have a boy from Rock/Sochi 2.0. He came to us already knowing to sit, potty mostly outside, and just so loving. We constantly get asked where we got him and compliments on how intelligent and well mannered he is already. Anyone could tell he had been so loved before coming to us and had great confidence and been exposed to other people. They do amazing things with these puppies and I couldn’t ask for anyone better. We will be coming back to them in the future and refer any friends/family/acquaintance to BCR. Grant and Shari are awesome."
