The other two of our seven dogs that are not directly related to JJ are: Beau and Zesty. (Both of whom trace back to 1956 NFC Massie's Sassy Boots) They are the sire and dam of three labs now owned by Joe and Lorraine DeLoia's family. Here are some names you will find in Beau and Zesty's pedigree:
"BEAU": son of: "FC-AFC Gunstocks Butch From Winifox"
(Owner: of "Butch": Charlie and Yvonne Hays, are in The Retriever Hall of Fame for People) (We purchased "Beau" from their daughter Lisa in Boise, ID)
"Beau's" dam's side: "FC-AFC Riparian Roughrider", "FC-AFC Candlewoods M D Houston"
Beau is available as a stud to approved bitches, his stud fee is: $350 He is OFA'd, DNA'd and eyes cleared
"ZESTY":
'Everybody' is titled in Zesty's first 3 generations, except her mother, who is a littermate to "FC-AFC JB's So Rude" (one is MH: Smokin' Juicy Lucy mother to "FC-AFC Super Pic") Zesty is a daughter of: "FC-AFC Rebel With A Cause"
"Zesty's" dam's side: sire: "FC-AFC Chena River Chavez", out of: "NAFC-CNAFC Ebonstar Lean Mac" ex "CNFC-FC-AFC Chena River No Surprise"
"Zesty's" bottom side: "FC-AFC Southwind's Molly Rose", out of: "NFC-NAFC Candlewoods Super Tanker" ex "FC-AFC Itchin' Gretchin" Zesty is OFA'd, DNA'd and eyes cleared Here is a continued list of 'BW Labs': (Click on 'photos' in blue box top left margin for each dogs personal album and loads of information) "BULLET": Son of: "Jolor's JJ ex Zesty" DNA'd, OFA'd, Eyes Cleared "Jolor's Bullet" has entered two events: 1: CKRC AKC Hunting Test, 4/2/06, Qualifying Score JH ribbon 2: Dock Dogs Northern Stars, 7/22/06, 5th Place Junior ribbon, dockdogs.com He jumped 18 & 21 (some say more like 22 to 24 feet!) during open dock (13 &15+ during competition) People with national dock jumping dogs came up to Al afterwards and said we have a national competitor in "Bullet"! That's exciting!
"Bullet" has a new master: Scott Solberg of Babbitt, MN. "Bullet" remains in my name as his AKC registered owner, we plan to mentor Scott this upcoming summer as he becomes a handler; running Bullet in AKC Hunting Tests and a possible dock jumping contest.
"ABBY": Owner: Emmett Penke, our son Breeder: Howie Towle, "Abby" has a great pedigree, too! "ZORA"(Bullet and Lady's littermate): Owner: Sarah Penke, our daughter-in-law The 'Photo Gallery' has an album for each of the labradors listed above and more (previous BW Labs, partners and our beloved labs that are dearly departed); albums full of photos and personal info. & pedigrees, etc
Margo Penke is a Lifetime Member (2006) of two 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!
