Whiskey Raiders Sochi Bear "Sochi" was the very first puppy whelped by what has become Big Cottonwood Retrievers.  She was born during the Winter Olympics when they were in Russia. She's big, white and very athletic. Even though she lost an eye at 10 weeks of age, you'd never know it. She's the best blind running dog we have, no pun intended!!! She's a real team player, extremely trainable and can go all day. She's equally at home quartering a CRP field as she is sitting quietly in the goose pit. She even brought home a check from the first and only BDC event we ever entered. She completed her HRC Hunting Retriever Champion title in May of 2019 and her AKC Senior Hunter Title in June. In Sept 2019 began persuit of her Master Hunter Title going 5/5, She is now 7/7 and qualified for the 2020 Master Nationals. She continues to be a crowd favorite at the Hunt Tests and in July 2021 wrapped up qualifing for 2021 Master Nationals. We ran our first Master Nationals in Idaho this past October. We were very close to bringing home a plate. Sochi has 13 Master passes.
Master National Qualifier 2020 and 2021.
