Zesty is an excellent mother that never got her chance online, she has never been formally trained or entered in any AKC events but we know she's a retrievaholic. She is happy, healthy, gentle, loving and full of energy. Zesty is appropriately named, yet good in the house. Her breeder is Dave Chabot. Both parents' pictures & pedigrees can be seen in the current litter photos. We are excited about our upcoming Buster and Zesty pups! Serious Inquiries can call for more details.

A Lifetime Member (2006) of two local retriever clubs in our area: The Minnesota Iron Range Retriever Club (mirrc.org) and The Duluth Retriever Club (duluthretrieverclub.com) Boundary Waters Labrador is a partner of Working Retriever Central 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 magazine (Included in a 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)
