Please see our website or contact Gina Glidden directly for more information. We at Bird Dog Labs L.L.C. are dedicated to providing an excellent start for all of our puppies. This page is designed to allow our Bird Dog Lab families and clients to feel apart of that process. We do our absolute best to post weekly pictures and videos of our puppies from the time they are born until ready to go to th

eir new homes. We are dedicated to having more of a personal approach and this page is used to encourage the interaction and connection that allows families to be more involved. We are an AKC Breeder of Merit and AKC Bred with H.E.A.R.T. We are located in Bemidji, Minnesota. Our focus is on producing some of the finest working Labrador Retrievers available anywhere. We go above and beyond not only in the care of our puppies, but in all aspects of researching, breeding and raising exceptional quality Labrador puppies. We are very selective in our breeding program and all of our dogs are selected for their natural hunting instincts, desire to please, intelligence, versatility, gentle temperaments, easiness to train, ability to compete in hunt tests and/or field trials, bloodlines, extensive health clearances, and attractive physical features. All of our dogs are used for both upland and water fowl hunting and live as family members in our home. We also have started running some of our dogs in hunt tests and hope to start running field trials in the near future as well! We believe in a personal touch and strive to give every puppy the best start possible. We treat each puppy like they are going to be our own from the time they are born until when the join their new families. All puppies are born and raised in our home and are thoroughly socialized. We have an ever expanding extensive Super Puppy Program that begins almost immediately. Between 3-16 days we follow both the military's Early Neurological Stimulation/Bio Sensor and Avidog's Early Scent Introduction. All puppies are exposed to birds/bird wings, gunfire, crates, car rides, water (weather permitting), daily loud noises, etc. All of our puppies come with dew claws removed, microchipped, wormed x 2, first round of vaccinations and are vet checked. All Bird Dog Labs puppies also come with a written 30 month hip/eye warranty and a lifetime guarantee to never be affected by 15 different genetic diseases. These genetic include EIC, CNM, PRA-pcrd, RD/OSD and many more. All of our dogs are also tested clear of the Dilute gene prior to any breeding. We take pride in our dogs and with our careful research and selection processes, our puppies should satisfy the most challenging buyer. Our puppies make excellent hunting dogs, service dogs, competition dogs and family companions.

No longer up for discussion.

Smores has always been a people focused puppy and loves being a part of everything that is going on. He is very interactive and playful! Smores is very confident, curious and outgoing. Smores tends to be more of a leader than a follower. Smores was one of the escape artists from the whelping box and would go well out of his way to find wherever the people were. He is just so happy that his tail just doesn’t stop wagging! Smores loves the wings, toys and soft bumpers. He tends to be a little show off with whatever trophy he has obtained. He also will strut right on over to me and give me his trophies. Smores is a higher energy type of puppy and is usually one of the first to start and last to stop playing. Even with that he still likes to take breaks. Smores loves to get his cuddle time and definitely has strong natural on/off to him. He has outstanding eye contact and teamwork type of attitude. He really does try to connect with people. Smores definitely has all the energy and drive to play any type of game/competition (hunting, hunt tests, SRS, etc) and still be an outstanding companion! Smores also has all of the traits needed in a puppy to make a rockstar Search and Rescue Dog too! I have placed many puppies successfully in SAR homes and wouldn’t hesitate to place him in one. Smores is an incredible little boy and there is just something about him that makes him stand out. Smores will turn 8 weeks on November 25th and can join his new home at that time. With it being a holiday week, we are happy to hold onto him until after Thanksgiving festivities and will flexible on pick up dates.

We are very excited about this absolutely beautiful litter! We researched for a very long time before deciding on SRSACC 2xSRSAC HRCH Feliciana Geaux Big or Go Home MH QAA “Rip” as the stud for Molly’s final litter. We attempted to make this litter a reality a couple of times without success. Early in 2024 when we brought Molly down to Louisiana, we were even more impressed by Rip in person. So when she didn’t take from that breeding, I made some adjustments to ensure correct timing this time and drove her back down to Louisiana. To say we have high hopes for these puppies is an understatement. Theses puppies were selectively bred to be excellent hunting dogs, hunt test dogs and wonderful family companions. They also show potential for therapy and service work. These puppies have an outstanding pedigree and come from extensively health tested parents. They are bred to be the TOTAL package!

We are proud to be an AKC Breeder of Merit as well as Bred with H.E.A.R.T. Breeder. All of our puppies are born and raised in our home! We focus on producing quality dogs and giving them the best start possible. Our puppy program is extensive and comprehensive. We do early neurological stimulation (ENS) and early scent introduction (ESI) between days 3 and 16. After that we have designed a proven program that builds confidence, social skills and addresses the key developmental stages that all puppies experience. Our puppies are introduced to wings/birds, various types of textures, gunfire from a distance, daily home noises, obstacle courses, adventure walks in various terrains, introduced to water, introduced to crates, car rides, potty training concepts and are thoroughly socialization with adults, children and safe dogs of various ages. All of our puppies are loved and handled individually every day. We pay attention to the details and it shows. Dew claws are removed, preventative deworming x3, 1st round of vaccinations, microchipped, and an individual wellness exam at 6 weeks and health certificate from licensed veterinarian. Our puppies are sold with limited registration, but it is written in the contract that can be changed to full after official hip, elbow and eye clearances are obtained. Our puppies come with a 30-month written hip/eye health guarantee and lifetime genetic disease guarantee to never affected by the genetic diseases we test for. Our puppies also come with lifetime breeder support. Lots of references available.

No longer discussing.

This beautiful blocky boy is a total ham! He is very sweet, people-focused and tends to be very animated and enthusiastic! You cannot resist smiling or laughing when he is up to his antics. Lucky is a confident boy that tends to jump right in. New places and obstacles don’t bother him. He is a curious, happy boy that just enjoys life. Lucky is not a dominant puppy of the litter, nor is he a submissive puppy. He tends to be right in the middle of the litter dynamics. When it comes to the wings, toys or soft bumpers, he seems to enjoy them all. Lucky likes to strut around when he is carrying them around. He is definitely a smart boy. Sometimes he brings them over to me on his own and other times he likes to come by me and lay down with them. Lucky is very affectionate and interactive. He seeks out people no matter if he is fresh with energy, taking a break or getting tired. Lucky seems to have a very nice natural on/off to him already. Lucky tends to play hard, but also seems very chill at times. Lucky has shown a tendency to be more aware of the people around him and will go out of his way to connect. Talk about awesome eye contact! Lucky is one of the more respectful puppies of the litter and will often just come and sit looking at me for attention without being pushy. Lucky is the kind of puppy that can truly go any direction. He has plenty of drive and energy to be a hunting or hunt test companion. Yet he also has such a calm, intuitive and adaptive side, that I can easily see him doing therapy or service work. Lucky would also be a wonderful addition to an active family with kids or be someone’s primary companion! Lucky will turn 8 weeks on November 25th and can join his new home at that time. With it being a holiday week, we are happy to hold onto him until after Thanksgiving festivities and will flexible on pick up dates.

Time for the Baseline Personalities Updated for the Molly-Rip litter!

Please keep in mind that the following traits are based on observations made in a controlled environment. They may or may not change as they grow and have new experiences in different environments.

Males: currently the 2 black males are open for discussion

Lucky (black male): The beautiful blocky boy is a total ham! He is very enthusiastic and animated! You absolutely cannot resist smiling or laughing when he is up to his antics. Lucky tends to be a jump right in kind of boy and loves pretty much anything he can get in his mouth and carry around. He loves the wings, toys, soft bumpers equally. Lucky usually will jump right in when in a new place or experiencing a new obstacle. He is definitely a smart boy with problem solving tendencies. You can see him processing things and how to get what he wants. Lucky is also very affectionate and interactive with people. He has awesome eye contact and likes to automatically check in. Regarding his energy level, he is smack dab in the middle. Maybe a little on the higher side. I say that just because he does like to play hard in bursts. Lucky is the kind of puppy that likes to check in at the beginning of every adventure or play session and will then run off to play, investigate, cause mayhem…whatever. Lucky tends to take breaks and doesn’t have to be tired out to chill out and assess what is going on around him or settle in for some lovies. He definitely has a nice natural on/off already. This beautiful boy has so much potential and can go any direction! He would make an awesome hunter or hunt test dog, but also a great companion for an active family.

Smores (black male): Smores has always been a people focused puppy and loves being a part of everything that is going on. He is very interactive! Smores is very confident and curious. He tends to be more of a leader than a follower. Smores was one of the escape artists from the whelping box and would go well out of his way to find wherever the people were. He is just so happy that his tail just doesn’t stop wagging! Smores loves the wings, toys and soft bumpers. He tends to be a little show off and will strut around with whatever trophy he has obtained. He also will strut right on over to me and give me his trophies. Smores loves to get his cuddle time and definitely has strong natural on/off to him. He has outstanding eye contact and teamwork type of attitude. He really does try to connect with people. Smores definitely has all the energy and drive to play any type of game (hunting, hunt tests, SAR, SRS, etc) and still be an outstanding companion too! Smores is an incredible little boy and there is just something about him that makes him stand out.

Blaze (yellow male): This big beautiful, confident boy is a total lover. Blaze definitely has an affinity for people. He is the kind of puppy that will go off to do something and then automatically check back in on his own. He tends to be more on the respectful side and will sit and gaze at you rather than try to demand attention by jumping in your lap. Even with as much as he loves people, he will go off to play. When he does, sometimes he tries to act like a boss of his littermates. It makes me giggle how they shut that down pretty quick, and then he just moves on to something else. Blaze tends to be a very nice mix of jumping right in and occasionally think first. He seems to be lower in energy when compared to his littermates, but he still plays hard. He just doesn’t tend to last as long and takes many opportunities to check in. Blaze really enjoys playing with pretty much anything. He tends to gravitate toward soft toys or crinkle toys over the wings and bumpers. Blaze seems to be very observant of what is going on around him and will sit and just take it all in.

Patriot (yellow male): Mr. Patriot is another big beautiful boy. He is very similar to Blaze in how he loves people, but he does seem to have just a bit more drive and energy. Patriot is a confident boy and will go after anything he wants, but doesn’t seem to have a problem giving up his toys/wings when a sibling comes for them. He will vie a bit and then move on to something else. Patriot is one of the puppies that often surprises me by how he will be off doing something and the next minute sitting by me and looking at me. He checks in often and also tends to be a more respectful in how he asks for attention. Patriot is more of a jump right in kind of puppy and definitely has a curious side to him. He likes to investigate new places and things. He also tends to gravitate more toward the wings, but enjoys all types of toys. Patriot reminds me a lot of his mom Molly in how he seems to ask for things by looking at me. He goes out of his way to connect with people.

Females: All reserved

C.C. (yellow female): Oh, this little beauty is a heart string puller! Miss C.C. is very sweet, curious and affectionate. She seems to equally enjoy the wings, toys and soft bumpers. She is more on the relaxed side, but also has times where she will play pretty hard. She is one of the lower energy puppies of the litter, but still has plenty of s***k and sass! Miss C.C. tends to be more of a think first kind of girl and definitely has a problem-solving side to her. She likes to check in during play sessions/adventure walks, but almost always comes for my lap when she gets tired. Miss C.C. is a big snuggler and I will insist she goes to someone that will enjoy this lovie side to her! One-way she stands out from the rest of the puppies is the fact that she actually points! On occasion I will have puppies that naturally point, but it is not something I tend to see any puppy do consistently. Well, Miss C.C. is the first! She points her siblings, wings and toys! I have seen her point at least a dozen different times. She doesn’t hold it long. It is more like a pause, but I think it is absolutely adorable!

Rainbow (yellow female): Miss Rainbow is another little beauty that is so incredibly nice all the way around! She loves the wings and all types of toys! She is usually more of a think first kind of girl, but is starting to jump right in when faced with something new. Miss Rainbow is definitely a smart little girl and, on many occasions, has figured out ways to keep her wings or toys away from littermates. So yes, she has a tenacious side to her and problem-solving tendencies. She too has awesome eye contact and will often sit and just look at me when she wants attention. She generally is not a puppy that just pushes her way in for attention, but would come in on the side and politely ask. She hasn’t brought the wings all the way to me yet, but she gets them pretty close and will then sit and look at me. When I pick her up she tends to just melt in and enjoys a good cuddle session. I would say Rainbow is slightly higher on the energy scale than C.C., but definitely has a very nice on/off to her already. She is beautifully put together and I think she will be a little stunner as she matures.

Disco (black female): Miss Disco is another flat-out beauty that is so nice all the way around! She is very curious and absolutely loves everyone she meets (including kids). She is very interactive and confident. She loves all types of toys, wings and the small bumpers. She has been known to carry a toy with her when going into another room or on our adventure walks. So it is safe to say she has a very nice strong natural carry. Miss Disco definitely is a middle energy puppy. She plays hard in bursts, but doesn’t need to be tired to settle down. She has an awesome natural on/off to her already and is so incredibly sweet. She tends to be more of a jump right in kind of girl, but I have also seen her think first too. Miss Disco is extra lovey too! She will literally roll herself over for tummy rubs or just light massages to her legs even. She soaks up the loving and is very sweet in return. Miss Disco has so much potential! I can definitely see her as a wonderful hunting buddy and an outstanding family companion!

Galaxy (yellow female): Miss Galaxy is a super mellow, very sweet girl that just wants to cuddle most of the time. She will go off to play, but almost always comes back to my lap. She is very sweet and a consistent thinker when faced with something new. Sometimes I think she can be an overthinker. Molly was the same way as a puppy and ended up being phenomenal, so I am not worried about it. Miss Galaxy currently is not really into the wings, though I have gotten her to play with them with some encouragement. She does like to wrestle and follow her sister Miss Daisy around. This helps bring out her confidence. When Galaxy is with Daisy she tends to come more out of her shell and be more active. That is when she likes to explore and becomes more playful. When Miss Galaxy was born, Molly really was struggling with getting her out and I had to help pull her out. Galaxy was completely limp at birth. I had to work her a little bit to get her going (cleared her airway and gave puppy CPR). She quickly came too, but I have always kept a closer eye on her to just make sure she was making the same normal gains like everyone else. Because of this we developed a pretty special bond and for now, Miss Galaxy is going to be staying here.

Daisy (black female): Miss Daisy is hands down the highest energy puppy of the litter. She is a go-go-GO getter with a level of determination that makes her stand out. She was the first puppy to consistently climb out of the box and go out of her way to find me. When I say determined…I mean it. At 3 and a half weeks old she pushed open the door into my bathroom and proceeded to try to climb up the tub wall to get to me while I was in the shower. In the last few weeks, Daisy has made it very clear that her world revolves around me. She is very interactive and is consistently bringing things to me. She already has a big desire to please and goes bonkers when I tell her good girl. She is super affectionate and boy I wish I could bottle the energy just from her tail wagging. When I decided on Rip as the stud for Molly’s final litter, I knew I wanted to keep a female to continue Molly’s line with. My hope/plan is to put her into training. Once she is titled, she can come home and hopefully enter the breeding program one day. For now, I am going to enjoy her to the fullest and see what we can do together.

Their 6 week wellness exams and vaccinations appointment went great! With it already being a big morning the puppies are definitely still tired. I took a few videos of them now, just so they are easier to see. I may try to take a few videos tomorrow as well when they are fresh with energy.
