  Big Cottonwood Retrievers L.L.C.
308-289-6851
 When determining the price to ask for puppies, we take several factors under consideration:  Travel expenses, stud fees, health screenings and veterinarian costs. We also consider pedigree as well as various accomplishments (titles) of each particular dog. I will talk more about titles and the importance on the "Girls" page. Then there's the entry fees and the months of training that it took to earn their titles and bring those ribbons home. We do everything we can to make sure they will produce a puppy you would be proud to own. 

 We price all puppies in a litter equally instead of varying between gender and color. Your puppy will come with a full registration and without restriction in most cases. We provide a deposit guarantee agreement (see below) and should anyone in the BCR Family need to re-home their pup we want to be the first to know, they might just have to come home to Big Cottonwood.



Prices generally range $1200-$2500, depending on each pairing not including tax or delivery. Please call for a price! ​Some of our Girls are Sired by (NFC) National Field Champions or (NAFC) National Amateur Field Champions (Best Dog in the Country that year) so their puppies will likely cost more than if they're sired by (GRHRCH) Grand Champions or (HRCH) Hunting Retriever Champions (Dogs achieving a Standard). We also give a lot of weight to dogs with titles of (FC) Field Champion and (AFC) Amateur Field Champion. Keep in mind the initial cost of a puppy will more than likely be the least costly aspect of your new retriever. The old adage "You get what you pay for" couldn't be truer. Why take the chance on a "bargain" that hasn't had all the tests and screenings done just to save a few hundred when it might cost you thousands and heartbreak later? So, give me a call and we can talk about what you are looking for in your next Labrador Retriever! 308-289-6851 ask for Grant.

We have been very pleased with the litters produced by Barley with our girl Eva. So, when our "Old School" Girl Ember came in we already had a plan. We are very happy to be able to offer Black and Chocolates from this pairing. Flatlander Kennels trained both of these dogs. More recently helped Ember earn her Hunting Retriever Champion Title (HRCH).

 Barley's career is winding down. Ember is just getting started! We expect big things out of this "Old School" Girl!
​These puppies should be capable of playing the retriever games at the highest levels and then hunt all winter.

Maverick ran and passed 20 AKC weekend tests. Never failed an AKC test. Passed both AKC MASTER NATIONAL'S 2021 and 2022. HRC tests he has run 20 HRC weekend tests and passed 18/20 - all Finished tests.
Passed 2 of 3 HRC International Grands so far. He was 2-1/2 years old when he passed his first Grand and Master National.
Our Girl Peach has been nothing short of amazing! We acquired her just shy of 2 years old and was a nice, started dog with a Senior AKC pass to her credit. We quickly transitioned to HRC and she took to the game and training immediately. In the first six months she earned her Seasoned and Finished Titles. That next Waterfowl season we worked her into the rotation, and she instantly made a big impression! Picking up Geese that weight a 1/4 of what she weighs. 
Hunting a season with live birds in the decoys did a lot for her steadiness. She went on to complete her Master Hunter Title the following Summer with a high pass rate.


She runs hard and straight on not only marks but blind retrieves as well. She is very fast but yet it's controllable. She is as sweet as a peach and loves to please!

What can I say about Flash that hasn't already been said? He is quickly becoming that dog people seek puppies from. There is good reason for it too! It doesn't seem to matter what female is bred to him their puppies all excel. The intelligence, drive, style, attitude and athleticism passes down to his offspring. Oh, almost forgot! Great looks and an eagerness to please. I've been very fortunate to witness Flash grow to become an incredible dog.

Sonny & Chilli 

This will be an outstanding all yellow litter. Due to whelp early April
​Sonny is a very consistent dog with an exceptional pedigree with a couple of NAFC's. One is his Sire the other his Grand Sire.
We're fortunate that he has been in Western Nebraska hunting the fabled North Platte River with his owner from South Carolina.
​ 
Sonny passed his first Grand this spring at 2.5 years old and qualified for the Master National the same month.
Passed the 2019 Master National at 37 months old.
Sonny Passed the 2020 Fall Grand earning his second Grand pass which earned him the title of Grand Champion.
He is qualified for the 2021 Master National which he passed earning his MNR title.
Passed the 2021 Spring Grand
Passed the 2021 Master Amateur Invitational. Passed the 2021 Fall Grand for his fourth pass.
Master National Hall of Fame. Passed the 2022 Fall Grand.

Chilli has come a long way and has a long way to go! She has a lot of go when ducks dropping from the sky. Which can be detrimental to passing a hunt test. She has plenty of confidence. She handles correction well and has that never give up attitude! She's 60# of "GO" and yes, she will let you know of her displeasure should a duck be missed! Recently she was brought up from the minors to handle the bulk of the retrieving while guiding the month of January in Kansas. She caught on quickly how to handle the Big Geese making some retrieves I won't soon forget! We're considering keeping first pick!
