Black Ice Retrievers - Illinois Labrador Retriever Breeders

At Black Ice Retrievers we are working towards producing a true dual purpose Labrador or what's known as a CROSSOVER dog.

We are refining a line of labs that have superior noses and bird drive yet they have the trainability for hunt / field tests as well. You might be thinking, "Doesn't that speak to a high percentage of labs?" Not to the levels of our standards when it comes to upland work. Our dogs have indicated birds at distances of over 80 yards and some of our "natural" pointing labs have so much point in them they actually "back" all other pointers at first sight.

For example our 2xNC 2xGMPR HRCH Reno's Black Ice, which also won back to back National Championships in the NUCS and NBDCA at just 11 months of age, was never trained to "BACK" other pointers. She just does naturally. Not because she smells the bird either but because she sees another dog on point, she slams on point as well.

Now how many pointing labs have you seen naturally back other pointers of any size, color or breed?

I have hunted Ice in numerous trials and hunted wild birds with her, if you can find pointing Labs with her nose and desire, I would love to see them. She can run with my GSP's anytime.
