In July of 2004 we made a donation to The Bird Dog Foundation, Inc. in Grand Junction, TN. It was a donation of

historic memorabilia about the sport of the purebred retriever relating to Mr Joe DeLoia and The DRC. Thank-you to Pert Wunderlich for previewing and approving this gift which was then donated to the new Retriever Building located at the foundation. The gift included 2 scrapbooks, a framed collage and a framed picture of Joe with four retrievers. It was a donation which could not have been made by us without Joe DeLoia's contribution!

BWCA Labs has been featured in The Retriever Journal Feb/Mar 2007 magazine (Included at the end of a 6 page story about Joe DeLoia, also featured in Sporting Classics) and Al Penke was featured in an newspaper article called: Hunting Dog Stories, thanks to "Birdie" (Duluth News Tribune, 9/21/08 issue of Northland Outdoors by Sam Cook)
