At BlackFoot Labradors we breed, raise, and train labrador retrievers. We also offer obedience training for all breeds of dogs, and we are proud that the performance records of our personal and client dogs speaks for themselves. We will only breed a few litters in a female’s lifetime. All of our Labrador Retriever Sires and Dams are health tested and we offer a 26 month hip, elbow, and eye guarant

ee on all of our puppies. We also guarantee that no puppy produced at BlackFoot will be EIC or CNM affected (note: carriers of these genes are NOT affected). Our puppies have proven to grow to become talented accomplished athletes in field trials, hunt tests, agility, and obedience. BlackFoot dogs also make wonderful companions for families with active lifestyles and they are terrific hunting dogs. Litter availability: Time-frame, and prices vary according to: our competition schedule, the heat cycles of the females, the availability of stud dogs, health clearances, and titles earned/accomplishments of sires and dams. A deposit: Is required in advance to secure any Blackfoot puppy. If the breeding desired does not "take" or, the sex/color preffered is not produced, the option will be offered to A) choose a different sex/color, B) Have their deposit returned, or C) Apply the deposit to a future litter. Waiting lists for our pups: Are typically established before births (and on most occasions even prior to breedings). Please contact us if you have questions about any of the planned breedings below or, would like to apply to be on our waiting list. Competitive homes (field trial, hunt tests, obedience, agility) will take precedence but loving active family homes are never dis-regarded). While we promote and support the heritage and importance of the purebred dog, we also know the importance of rescue. We usually have one rescue dog in training at a time available for adoption. Please feel free to set up an appointment to come visit!

Missing our Happy Place a lot lately. Such great over the years.

A few years ago we fell in love with this Mickey Christmas wreath and purchased it while in … then .. we realized we had to carry it the rest of the day because room delivery was not available 🤦🏻‍♀️

Now each year when I take it out at Christmas time I get a good laugh knowing it went all around the world, took a bus , even went on a a ride or two 😂😂

Heavy’s introduction to the position box today. After the first few attempts I decided to add a creative twist to help his understanding (rear foot target). It worked ! Reminder to work the dog in front of you and be prepared to pivot. No two dogs will have the exact same training journey. Be patient and observant. Goals here: 1) move rear and not front feet to get into position. 2) learn how to “turn off” pressure (in this case leash pressure on flat collar) 3) continue rear and awareness and core building for physical conditioning.

I’m so happy I can finally share this recently completed art commission:
“COLT”
16x20 mixed media on Bristol

This dog in this portrait was the FIRST puppy that our girl Spice 🌈ever delivered.

FC AFC Badger State Ram Kicker (NDL / National am Finalist) x Stumptown’s Worth The Thyme, CD RA MH14 (derby pointed)

C**t lived a very long and happy life and lead us to be friends with his owners.

This commission meant so much to me on so many levels. I hope it brings a glimmer of the impact C**t left on so many.

*Edit ... added original reference photo **

I am currently open for booking 2025 custom portraits. Details can be found on my page: Dani Rose Art

Completely unedited video of 13 week old "HEAVY" being introduced to the obedience dumbbell.

This is step ONE toward building a shaped retrieve. The "formal" retrieve will require a calm but firm "hold" with delivery (either in front position or at heel) in a "sit." He will be required to hold until told to "drop" the item.

This puppy was clicker conditioned at 8 weeks and has done other shaping and luring exercises previously, however this is his very first time seeing the obedience dumbbell.

The blower might not be her favorite part of bath day .. but she still loves me 💋

Training can be done all day long. The biggest thing that I see “pet dogs” struggle with is their lack of impulse control. If you take just a little bit of time throughout the day to help your dog practice patience, all of your training will start to show steady improvement.
