Mike,
I just wanted to give you a update on Ava (black lab). She is a very
energetic dog with a LOT of drive, she is a
perfect fit for my
family.
I took her out duck hunting on big water this year and was very happy
with
her performance, she has great marking ability and make a 75 yard
retrieve on
her first duck!
I'm looking forward to getting her out on some upland game to see what
she
has.
Thank you for such a great dog.

Mike,
I know you said you'd like some pics and I haven't forgotten, just been
a little busy!
Drake did wonderful during hunting this year. He made great retrieves
and I can use hand signals
pretty decent with him, I'll work on that hard next spring and see if I
can get him where I want him.
He's actually very steady in the blind and won't take off on the shot.
He's a little hyper at home but I just attribute that to being a puppy
yet and all the excess energy he has. I knew he had an awesome nose but
I didn't know how good it actually was because the
duck hunting was so poor this year and he didn't get to use it a
lot.
So I took him to a pheasant farm last weekend and he was SPECTACULAR! We
had 10 birds put out, he flushed 7 birds and just stuck his nose it and
brought back 2 more that didn't even have time to flush so I'm going to
try to work on
upland hunting a little more with him too.
He definitely had plenty of drive! He ran for over 2 hours straight in
12" snow and was still ready for more!
I'm seriously considering putting in a couple hunt tests next summer if
I can get hand signals a little more consistent with him and then
possibly looking to breed him.
Anyway, here's a couple pics for you!
Thanks again for a Great Lab!
Happy Holidays!

Lily is doing great! She is a beautiful pup, great energy and very bold!
She is retrieving one of her toys to me on a regular basis...hard to
believe she is only 8 weeks old!
Thanks again!

Mike-
Our pup, Ruby, is doing just great! Got her into the vet last week for a
checkup and
received a perfect bill of health.
House trained,
smart as a whip ---- still loves to sleep on her back when
she's really tired or happy.
All good here. We'll get a
New Year card to
you -- (we missed the
Christmas card
with too much going on).
Merry Christmas to you and your family -----
David, Heather, Gracie & Will |

Mike,
Wanted to tell you I took Tucker pheasant hunting Saturday and he
flushed his first bird, I had no idea there was one there!!!
I saw him get real excited dove into a clump of saw grass and out jumped
a hen pheasant (preserve hunting), grass was too high for him to see
where it went down after I shot it, but I marked it.
I brought him down wind and worked him toward the bird, he caught scent
of it , retrieved the bird and brought it back to me.
Great experience for me with such a young dog, he's only 12 WEEKS OLD!
Looking forward to next weekend.
Thanks again,
Steve |

Mike,
Here is a photo of Mollie taken Tuesday. We have just returned from
partridge hunting in northern MN., a chance to take advantage of the
nice weather in between deer seasons.
Mollie holds her points real well if the birds cooperate. I worked her
real hard on migrating woodcock this fall, they hold so good for the
dog, they are the perfect training bird. She seems to learn something
every time we go hunting. She does like to "take off" out of bell range
for 10 minutes or so and hunt on her own, but my other dog did that
until they get older and seasoned.
I haven't done anything to discourage this at this time as I don't want
to effect her hunting desire, she always does show up and usually does a
good job of checking in. It took awhile, but she is now completely
housebroken, it finnally took the rub her nose in it method, after 3
times that was it. I know it's not the preferred method, but it sure
worked in this case.
I've never had a dog that is so adventurous and curious, I feel this is
do to her intelligence, her antics can be very entertaining sometimes
quite the clown.
We're very pleased with our little peanut and thank you for letting us
welcome her in to our family.

Mike-
Just wanted to give you an update on Macy. She's doing great. She's 8
months old and this season has already retrieved 4 ducks and 6 pheasants
for me!
I attached a couple of pics so you could see her. Kahri and I love
having her around. Lots of energy, but keeps us on our toes! She hasn't
gotten on any birds and flushed them yet, but she's been hunting with my
dad's short-hair, so as long as she'll retrieve them he'll find them.
Thanks again for the great dog, and hope your hunting season is going
well. Thanks agian!

Mike, The dogs are getting along great, the first day I had them
eating from the same bowl and even though Sampson is 4-5 times bigger
then her Lucy(the new lab pup)still has a lot of pep to keep up with
him. Training is going good, only a few accidents inside and once you
let Lucy outside she almost goes to the bathroom instantly, she's
catching on quickly. She is starting to get a bit more yellow in her
coat, down the back and on her head. Everything is going great! Thanks
again for everything, I we WILL be back again for another lab pup. It's
not often we've found a breeder that cares as much as we think you do
and we appreciate all the time you spent with us while we made our
decision. Thanks again. Kurt Ford and Family |

I bought a started lab from BCK about a week ago. The experience
went flawless. Mike was more than willing to walk me through everything
I needed to know about the dog and where to take training from here.
Drake is coming along great and is taking to my family nicely. He
listens well and is doing great on his retrieves. Mike has also been
there to promptly answer any questions I've had since I brought him
home, he actually called the same night I took him home to see how
things were going. Drake has a solid foundation and is coming along
better than expected. It was obvious when I picked Drake up how much
Mike cares about his dogs. I wanted to see him in action as a trainer
before I purchased Drake, I've heard of too many trainers beating their
dogs and it's obvious Mike doesn't do that. I wouldn't hesitate to
purchase or deal with BCK again!

We got Hoosier in early March of this year as a started dog and he
has been great. Even on the 6 hour drive home he never made a sound. He
is very well tempered and listens very well. I have been training with
him since early March and he has progressed nicely. Mike was right when
he said all he needed was a good loving family and a place to call home.
He even does very well with Jennifer's five year old son. Mike was very
helpful with anything we needed and is still helpful anytime we need
anything. I can't wait until november to get Hoosier out into the duck
blind. I would recommend anyone needing a hunting dog to Bear Creek
Kennels and if I should need another dog in the future Bear Creek
Kennels would be my first call. |

Testimonial Bill and Kathi Piper—Greenfield, Iowa Hello Mike and
family, We got "Tonka", aka Orange male, on Thurs eve from you and have
had a blast for the last couple days getting to know our new friend.
Tonka whined quite a bit on the way home, but eventually settled down in
a box on the floor between us, and was pretty sad that night as well.
But the next day brought few whines and more cuddling and playtime.
Today, less whining and a happy wagging tail. He has claimed us and
climbs right onto our laps and cuddles much. We are pleased to say he is
a pretty quick learner. He is figuring out the following commands
already. Out, In, Come, Tonka, No, Go Out...which means go potty. He is
also figuring out how to use the newspapers while he is in his pen. He
is already is learning the boundaries of where he is allowed and not
allowed. He barks and jumps at the boundaries he doesn't like, but he is
beginning to respect them. We think he is great and we both think he is
now the |
