Teddy is truly a once in two lifetime's dog. He is the man. A legit Hall of Famer. He is an absolute sweetheart to everyone and an absolute nightmare for birds! Teddy weighs 63 lbs (ranges from 61-65 lbs) and has a big, blocky head and a big chest. He's a phenomenal marker, the best I have ever trained and that is saying something. Ted has a great demeanor; very relaxed, yet very curious, just independent enough, yet very friendly. He loves to sit in the recliner with me, and he loves our daughters and anyone who will scratch or rub his belly. He is a favorite at the Vet clinic! Yet when you take him in the field to hunt or get to the line for a hunt test or training he is all business. Teddy has also turned into an absolute beast of a wild bird hunter. Steady as a rock in the duck blind, and a bird finding, pointing and retrieving machine in the upland field. When Teddy was younger he spent time training and competing with Carolyn at Blazing Red Kennels including earning his HRC Grand Title. Carolyn absolutely loves Teddy and always offered to "take him off my hands." Teddy's hunt test career boasts a pass rate of 86% including the HRC Grand with Teddy competing and earning titles with the APLA, HRC and AKC. Teddy's hunt test accomplishments include earning his CPR, MPR, GMPR and up to his 4xGMPR titles in the APLA (he also requalified for the 2023 Triple Crown event). In AKC he earned his Master Hunter (MH) title. In the HRC Teddy earned his SHR, HR, HRCH, GRHRCH and is in the Honorable 1,000 point club. Teddy passed 60 HRC finished tests in 64 tries. Teddy passed the Fall 2018 and Spring 2019 HRC International Grand Hunt Tests to earn his Grand Hunting Retriever Champion (GRHRCH) title. The Grand is the toughest hunt test on earth with an average of about 20-25% of dogs earning a pass each time (must be a HRCH to enter). As good as his retriever skills are Teddy also really excels is in the upland field. Man does this dog point! Teddy has been pointing birds in the upland since we picked him up at 11 weeks of age (see the links to videos below) and he really produces a lot of natural point in his pups! Teddy is 3/4 American Field lines (goes back to Lean Mac and Creekside's Hey Paco) and 1/4 English field lines. His sire, Flame, was one of the most highly titled pointing labs on the planet (QAA, MH, MNH, UH, GMPR, GRHRCH (5) and is in the AKC Master National Hall of Fame and the HRC Hall of Fame! Teddy's dam, Sugar, is no slouch either. The product of two GRHRCH dogs, Sugar has her HRCH and UH titles with the HRC. Teddy has perfect health clearances, good looks, an amazing "on-off switch", a great personality and a ton of talent. He really is the complete package!
Teddy is standing at stud to approved females. His pups are very talented with great natural point, strong retriever skills, good looks, and awesome temperaments and personalities. Contact us for breeding information on Teddy if you are looking to improve looks, on-off switch, marking ability, natural point, athleticism, and overall demeanor and personality in your lines.

STUD FEE: $1,000 or pick of litter to approved females. Contact us for more information on breeding to Lou.
Lou is a male we kept and co-own from our last Mays x Vaider breeding. His pedigree has some of the best producing pointing labs of all time including Raider, Vaider, and Rosco and he is out of our foundation female Mays who is a top producing female in the APLA despite only having three litters! Lou is a big, powerful, hard working, good looking dog. He is a taller male and weighs in around 75-78 lbs and he is incredibly athletic. Lou can vertical jump so high his stomach is at my eye level from the standing position. He has pogo stick legs! He can run at 30 mph for a sustained period which is incredible for a Labrador. He is a very strong swimmer, very birdy, and he points lights out. Lou points like an English Pointer, high head and tail with incredible style and lots of intensity. He loves to train and has a great attitude and work ethic. Lou is an excellent marker, has excellent drive, high trainability/biddability and intelligence, and is very focused and intense when working. This is a very special dog. Lou went 2/2 in HRC started, 3/3 in HRC Seasoned to earn his Hunting Retriever (HR) title and went 4/5 in Finished to earn his HRCH title (Hunting Retriever Champion). In the APLA Lou went 1/1 to earn his CPR, 1/1 to earn his APR and then went 8/9 to achieve his 4xGMPR (Grand Master Pointing Retriever) title! The only APLA test Lou failed was not his fault; three of the four birds planted for him were running and he pointed the only one that stayed in the field. He is a very talented, even-keeled and consistent dog. In addition to hunt tests Lou is an excellent duck dog hunting the backwaters of the Wisconsin River and the Mighty Mississippi River here in Wisconsin. He is also a top notch pheasant dog hunting wild birds in Minnesota and game farm birds all over Wisconsin. Lou spends most of his time with his other owners the Woiaks in Sparta, WI where he enjoys lounging on the couch and watching birds and squirrels in the back yard. Did I mention he has a great on-off switch! Watch for Sweet Lou at a test near you! Contact us about breeding to Lou if you need to put some drive, talent, focus, trainability, good looks and athleticism into your lines. He is simply the real deal. Pups from Lou's first couple litters are turning out really nice. Very smart and biddable, high prey drive.

UPDATE: On August 3rd, Jones passed HRC Seasoned at the Muddy Waters Retriever Club HRC Test to earn his Hunting Retriever (HR) title!
STUD FEE: $1,000 or pick of litter to approved females. Contact us for more information on breeding to Jones.
Jones is a super handsome and nicely structured pup that we are hoping will turn into "Teddy Jr." Through his first couple years of life he has shown us nothing but good things and has a very high talent ceiling. His mom is a very well-bred and talented girl having achieved her 4xGMPR and HRCH titles and his sire Teddy is simply the man. This guy's pedigree is loaded with high level pointing labs, HRC and AKC hunt test and field trial dogs and even some BDC dogs. His pedigree really represents a nice mix and helps contribute to his versatility. Jones is relaxed and quiet in the kennel and has a super fun, happy-go-lucky personality. He loves to play, loves our girls, and gets along great with other dogs. His temperament is just like Teddy's in that nothing really bothers him and he is very very friendly. Jones can really cover ground in the upland and has a really stylish and staunch natural point. He attacks cover and isn't afraid of the thick stuff. Check out his videos below. Retriever wise, he has great line manners, and can really mark. Jones has higher drive than his dad, but is still very controllable and really likes to work. Jones spent January - May 2023 with Carolyn Elam at Blazing Red Kennels and she really likes this guy; reminds her a lot of Teddy. He has some mighty big paws to fill but we are hopeful he will meet and exceed expectations! In 2023 we took things slow with Jones allowing him to mature but we did pick up his SHR and CPR titles where he did exceptional. Jones earned his Hunting Retriever (HR) title in 2024 with three passes as the Seasoned level. We are now working on getting him ready for more APLA and HRC Finished.
A star-studded line up for a nice pheasant hunt. L to R:
Rickey (future star here at Cooperstown), 4xGMPR GRHRCH Teddy MH, 3.5xGMPR Roy QA2, Lucy (Teddy daughter), and CPR SHR Jones. A lot of dog power!

UPDATE (9/21/24): Foxxy picked up her Grand Master Pointing Retriever title adding to our growing list of Grand Master females!
Foxxy (named after Jimmy Foxx) is a supremely talented young female who is very aptly named. She is a beast! We were looking for some different lines that we could cross with our stud dogs and after having trained Foxxy's sire, Cowboy, for his APLA work and knowing how talented the dogs from Baier's Labs are we thought this would be a perfect fit. Foxxy has not disappointed. She is what I refer to as a "unicorn." She has extreme prey drive but yet intense natural point right out of the box. She also has a good on-off switch and is a super sweet and fun girl with lots of focus during training. In 2022, Foxxy earned her Started Hunting Retriever (SHR) and Certified Pointing Retriever (CPR) titles. In 2023 she followed things up by earning her Hunting Retriever (HR) and Advanced Pointing Retriever (APR) titles. Then in 2024 she picked up her first 2 HRC Finished passes and earned her Master and Grand Master Pointing Retriever (GMPR) titles. Her natural ability is off the charts and she is one of the hardest charging, fastest dogs I've ever got the chance to work with. The judges like to say, "Boy I wish I was having as much fun as she is." We are only now starting to scratch the surface of her talent. She is also turning into a pheasant hunting machine and has really learned how to work birds the past year. Look for big things in 2025 and beyond. She is going to be a star! Take a look at the videos of Foxxy below.

Addie is exactly what he had hoped for when breeding our Teddy and Fergie. A good looking, athletic, pocket rocket who can really mark, has a nice natural point and loves to work. Check out her pedigree! Addie went 4/4 in HRC started to earn her Started Hunting Retriever title before her first birthday. Since then she has gone 4/4 in HRC Seasoned to earn her HR title and went 2/2 to earn her CPR title. Addie spends her falls and winters hunting South Dakota for pheasants and Wisconsin and Arkansas for ducks. She also works as a guide dog for pheasant hunting at Milford Hills and Wern Valley Sportsmen's Club with her co-owner Scott. Addie is a special girl with a ton of talent that we are excited to have in our program! Addie went 6/6 in HRC finished in summer 2024 and now has her HRCH title. We hope to run her for her Master and Grand Master Pointing Retriever titles soon.
UPDATE (8/12/2024): In the summer of 2024 Addie has passed 6/6 HRC Finished tests and now holds the title of Hunting Retriever Champion (HRCH). We still haven't reached this dog's potential. She is truly a special animal.

UPDATE (8/12/24): Summer earned two seasoned level passes at the Muddy Waters Retriever Club and a 3rd pass at the Key City HRC test to achieve the title of Hunting Retriever (HR).
Summer is a very special girl to us. She is as loving as she is beautiful and has the smarts to match. Her mom is our girl Autumn (GMPR HRCH) who is a Flame daughter and is Teddy's 1/2 sister. Summer's sire is Bearpoints Rosco (4xGMPR HRCH MH) who just happens to also be the sire of our girls Mays (1.5xGMPR HRCH SH) and Nellie (GMPR HRCH). Rosco was a dog ahead of his time and had the most relentless motor I have ever seen while hunting. When we decided to breed Autumn to Rosco we were pretty excited as Autumn might be the most talented female Rosco was bred to and yet he was still an awesome producer. So we used some frozen semen (as Rosco passed away a couple years prior) and managed to get 4 beautiful pups. These dogs are really athletic, can really mark, and are bird crazy. Summer is really rounding into shape and coming out of transition and building confidence. She has a gorgeous natural point and can really mark! We are just getting started with this little lady!
Summer weighs about 50-52 lbs and is super quick. Like her mom, she has a huge water entry. This dog has all the makings to be special.

Rickey is a handsome and talented young male sired by one of our favorite pointing labs, Preacher. Rickey is a happy-go-lucky boy who is sweet and loves attention, but will also do 400 yard marks and slam into a super staunch and stylish point. We did all of Rickey's puppy work and loved what we saw. Then last fall Rickey went to work with Jerry Petraitis at Aspen Creek Kennels and is preparing to run field trials. This dog has all the makings of a talented versatile retriever with the good looks and temperament we desire. Stay tuned as 2025 will be a big year for Mr. Rickey!

Molly is a beautiful 51-53 lb female, with a nice athletic build, intensely toned muscles and a nice deep chest. Molly is from our Teddy x Nellie breeding and we sure can see both mom and dad in her. Molly is a very happy loving girl who never stops wagging her tail, except when she is on point. She loves the water, just like her momma, and she has very high prey and retrieve drive, but is not out of control. Molly has an INTENSE NATURAL POINT. This was the first pairing of two Cooperstown dogs together and we couldn't be happier with how they are turning out. When I put this pairing together I wasn't sure who I wanted my pup to be more like, Teddy or Nellie (says something about Nellie's skillset), but frankly we knew if she turned out like either of her parents we would have a future ROCK STAR on our hands. We hit things just right. Molly is a natural and I joke that she is Nellie trapped in a female version of Teddy's body. At 4 months old she was doing multiple re-entry water marks, hunting the upland field like a maniac and pointing lights out. Molly went 4/4 in HRC to earn her Started Hunting Retriever (SHR) title and she was also 1/1 in the APLA to earn her Certified Pointing Retriever (CPR) title. Molly then went on to earn her Hunting Retriever (HR) title with the HRC and her Advanced Pointing Retriever (APR) title with the APLA. In June 2022 Molly went 4/4 passing some really challenging finished tests to earn her Hunting Retriever Champion (HRCH) title! Molly missed the fall 2022 and spring 2023 hunt tests due to heat cycles and a litter of pups, but she finished up her Master and Grand Master Pointing Retriever (GMPR) titles in fall 2023 going 2/2. Molly has all her health clearances (clear on entire PawPrint's Genetic Panel). Molly is a pheasant's worst nightmare. Some of the bird finds, points and retrieves she makes are head shaking amazing! She is also a reliable, steady girl who handles well in the duck blind. Check out her video below to see her incredible natural point. She is a beast and she is making some high drive, talented pups!

Autumn is an incredibly well-bred female that we were fortunate enough to add to our breeding program. Autumn is a fox red colored yellow (eeBB; does not carry chocolate) female with a really nice blocky head. She is about 54-58 lbs, and is completely ripped! She is super SWEET and loving girl with a great on-off switch. Her point is intense and staunch and she is very graceful and smooth in the upland field. Autumn loves to retrieve and has very high retrieve and prey drive. She can really mark also. She is turning into a pheasant hunting machine and really has an incredible nose! Autumn often winds birds at least 10-20 feet further off than most of the other dogs I train, including some of my own. Autumn's sire Flame (also Teddy's sire) is in the AKC Master National and HRC Hall of Fame and was an absolute phenom. Flame is 1 of only 6 dogs on earth that are a GMPR, GRHRCH, MH and he was QAA! Autumn's dam is no slouch either. Chaska is a 4xGMPR, SH who has produced numerous Grand Masters. Having trained several Flame pups and also some Chaska pups and grandpups, adding Autumn to our lineup was a no-brainer. Autumn has earned her CPR, APR, MPR and GMPR (Grand Master Pointing Retriever) titles from the APLA and her SHR, HR and HRCH (Hunting Retriever Champion) titles with the HRC. She has some serious skills. Pups from Autumn have amazing natural ability, are great looking, have high drive but very sweet and loving. In limited breedings Autumn has already produced a 4xGMPR and a couple other titled pups and some amazing gun dogs!

Fergie is 50 lbs of pure go. Man this dog has some juice! Fergie is our first chocolate lab (EEbb; does not carry yellow) as we have been waiting for something special. She is incredibly well bred and represents some fantastic American field trial lines that exhibit natural point. She has a very beautiful dark brown coat and has really turned into a nice looking dog. Fergie is a highly driven dog that loves to retrieve and has an excellent natural point. As a 6 month old she was running marks out to 180 yards with our master dogs. She is incredibly smart and an amazing swimming. She's very "watery" meaning she excels in the water and seeks water, as opposed to cheating the bank. Fergie's dam, Teka, is one of the best females I have ever seen run in a hunt test. Teka is a 4xGMPR, MH, QAA dog with derby points and a derby win; Teka is a full littermate to Ammo (Upon the Wings of an Answered Prayer), who is the all-time high point derby dog and probably the best chocolate field trial dog ever. Fergie's sire, Moose, is an incredible animal as well. Moose is a QA2, GRHRCH, MH, GMPR. Like our boy Teddy, Moose is 1 of only 6 dogs that are a GMPR, GRHRCH, MH. Winning and placing in multiple Qualifying field trials, while also being controllable enough to pass the Grand multiple times and displaying natural pointing ability is a rare combination and speaks to this dog's talent and trainability. You will be hard pressed to find a better bred chocolate female in the retriever world than this little dog. Fergie went 3/3 in summer 2020 to earn her Hunting Retriever (HR) title and continues to progress nicely with her training. She will be running HRC Finished tests and APLA Master tests soon. She is incredibly smart and absolutely loves to swim and retrieve. Puppies from Fergie's first litter (with Teddy) are turning out nice; very smart and good looking. Stay tuned for updates on Fergie.

Willie is a WOW dog, especially in the upland field! He is a pup we kept and co-own from our Cy x Deets litter. Willie is a tri-factored black, meaning he carries both chocolate and yellow genes (EeBb). Willie is a very handsome boy with a perfect structure and size, and an awesome blocky head. Willie weighs in at 63-66 lbs. His looks and structure are exactly what we are breeding for here at Cooperstown Kennels. He is named after one of the greatest and most athletic center fielders ever, Willie Mays, and his grandmother (Mays) and he is one heck of an athlete. Everything he does, he does with INTENSITY. Willie has one of the best natural points (holds it for up to 2 minutes at a time) that I have ever seen; just incredible. Willie is a hard charging, high energy, high drive dog, just like his dam Cy. In fact he reminds us of Cy every single day in the way he acts, trains and loves life. Not to mention he has the exact same head! So far this dog's natural ability, drive and desire are second to none. I absolutely love a dog that has such high drive they go through anything to get a bird, but will still slam on the brakes and lock up rock solid in the upland field; Willie does it as good as any. Willie's pedigree is loaded with some of the best pointing labs in the country and in the history of the APLA. Willie's dam, Cy, was an absolute phenom and his grand dam, Mays was the foundation female here at Cooperstown. Willie's sire, Deets, is also one of the most fun dogs we have ever trained and the best male chocolate lab I have ever laid hands on. If your breeding program is successful it should improve with every generation. We think Willie will be the next step in further improving and enhancing our lines. Willie has earned his Certified Pointing Retriever (CPR), Master Pointing Retriever (MPR), Grand Master Pointing Retriever (GMPR), 2-time, 3-time and now 4-time Grand Master (4xGMPR) titles with the APLA. He has also earned his Started Hunting Retriever (SHR), Hunting Retriever (HR) and Hunting Retriever Champion (HRCH) titles with the HRC. Willie is also truly our "Meat Dog" as he spends most of his time with his other owners, the Marquardt's in Tomah, WI where he hunts ducks about 60 days a year and only takes a break from duck hunting to chase some pheasants in Iowa, South Dakota or at local game farms. Willie spends his summers at Cooperstown for training and testing and is available for stud to approved females. Check out Willie's incredible natural point in the videos below. Puppies from Willie are great looking, high drive dogs, with lots of hunt and solid natural point. Contact us about Willie if need to improve your looks, structure, drive, athleticism, and natural pointing ability in your lines.

I love this dog. Nellie is a 50 pound dynamo. Nellie has the heart of a champion and no quit! She has a great work ethic and attitude and is one of the smarter dogs we have worked with. This dog has what I call "controllable drive." She is super fast and high drive, yet her line manners are solid and she is very controllable, biddable and doesn't require a lot of correction. While she isn't the biggest dog that doesn't stop her from retrieving full sized Canada Geese. It's all about her desire and determination. Nellie is an excellent marker with solid line manners and is honestly the best blind running dog I have ever trained. We knew we had something special from the time we brought her home. At 11.5 weeks this dog hunted harder than many of the adult dogs we train. She was running water marks (50+ yards with factors) at 12 weeks, hunted the upland field, retrieved like a maniac, oh and yes she points nice (see photo and videos below at 12 weeks old). At 13 weeks old Nellie was running 80+ yard land marks with multiple cover changes; can you say talented? We know what Rosco throws in his pups first hand, with our foundation female Mays being a Rosco puppy and having trained several other Rosco pups. On the bottom side, Nellie dam is Breeze. She is a Master Pointing Retriever (MPR), Hunting Retriever (HR) out of excellent bloodlines. Having trained a bunch of different dogs over the past few years I started to notice a trend. Dogs that I had in for training that pointed the hardest and staunchest had one thing in common, they were all related to Tiger of Cattail Corky (Tig). Breeze, another Tig pup, was no different. She was a hard charging, stylish and staunch pointer. The pedigree on this dog is loaded with every dog in the three generation pedigree being hunt test titled, including 8 Master/Grand Masters. Go back one more generation and there are 4 APLA Hall of Fame dogs (Cajun, Kate, Grits and Raider). Nellie began her hunt test career in 2014 going 5/5 to earn her started hunting retriever (SHR; 4/4) title and her certified pointing retriever title (CPR 1/1). In 2015, Nellie went 4/4 to earn her Hunting Retriever (HR) title and 2/4 to earn her Grand Master Pointing Retriever (GMPR) title and has since gone 4/6 in HRC finished to earn her Hunting Retriever Champion (HRCH) title. When not training or having pups, Nellie spends her time in Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa and North Dakota chasing ducks, geese and pheasants. Nellie is co-owned with J. Hammen from Denver, CO.

Mays is our foundation female and is simply a dog of a lifetime. She has all the traits we seek out for our breeding program. Mays is a light yellow female (yellow x yellow; eeBB) weighing about 58-60 lbs with all her health clearances. She is dual registered with the AKC and the UKC. She is currently a 1.5xGrand Master Pointing Retriever (1.5 xGMPR) with the APLA, a Hunting Retriever Champion (HRCH) with the HRC and a Senior Hunter (SH) with the AKC. She has a great motor and can hunt all day everyday, yet can come home in the evening and curl up on your feet. Mays has a staunch point and can really cover ground. She is equally adept at hunting pheasants, sharptails, or prairie chickens on the prairies of South Dakota or hunting ruffed grouse and woodcock in the woods of northern Minnesota or sitting in a blind on water or land hunting ducks and geese. Essentially Mays is a bird finding, producing and retrieving machine, and that is the bottom line! Mays is well bred with traditional pointing labs on the top side of her pedigree like Grits, Bear, Hawk and her sire Rosco, all talented and proven producers. On the bottom side Mays' dam is Jetta, a beautiful light yellow female with a certified pointing retriever (CPR) title and has placed in several UFTA events including a 1st place in September 2012, competing against all breeds. Jetta is a nice outcross as she isn't related to a lot of other pointing lab lines, yet in limited breeding has produced two GMPRs and several other titled dogs. In limited breedings, Mays has produced multiple titled pups (at least one pup from every litter is titled) and lots of excellent gun dogs. Puppies from Mays' have lots of personality, great prey drive, and high intelligence and trainability. In fact two pups from her first litter earned their CPR and SHR titles before they were 10 months old. Cy (see below) is a Grand Master Pointing Retriever and has her seasoned HRC title, and Bear has his APR and HR titles. How many females out there are GMPR, HRCH, SHs and are producing titled pups? Not many. Mays is loving "retirement" as she trains about 1-2 days a week with the other dogs (until September when we put in some work), lounges in the kennel and house and gets to hunt all over the country; this fall she is even heading to Canada for some waterfowling. Tough life. Mays continues to put Cooperstown Kennels on the map by showing off her hunting prowess and remarkable athleticism, and her pupies, grand puppies and now great grand pups can be found working all over the country.

In Remembrance
Fenway
CPR Fenway's Yellow Monster
Fenway was our first Labrador Retriever. She was a true natural pointer that we stumbled onto and at the time, little did we know what path she would help take our lives down! Fenway retrieved about 1000 birds during her lifetime including . She was all business in the field but a caring soul at home . She was the ultimate gentleman's hunting dog and our princess.

Cooperstown dogs must have DRIVE!

GMPR, HR Cyclone Harball CK PR (Cy)
Cy was a once in a lifetime dog who left us way too early. She really could do it all. Beautiful staunch point, extreme retrieve drive, great nose and bird finding ability and a zest for life that words can't describe. She was the first pup we trained from Mays and the first dog Justin titled all the way through by himself. It was so easy with Cy, she sure made us look good. Her natural ability and intelligence were incredible. Cy made a believer out of many people who said Labs can't be pointers and be amazing retrievers. We were so fortunate to have had a dog like Cy in our program and she lives on in her beautiful puppies Beckley and Willie. We miss you every day girl. Hope you are having fun retrieving ducks and geese and pheasants on the other side.

Turkey Creek's Iron Man (Ripken)
What can we say about Ripken other than "he was a good boy!" Rip had enough retrieve drive for three dogs and absolutely loved to swim. In the spring Rip would be breaking ice to get into the water and he would be the last one still taking a dip right up until ice-up in the winter. Ripken was a loving companion with a tremendous on-off switch. When he was working he looked borderline crazy (just look at those eyes), but when he was in the house, kennel or the shop he was the most calm, loving, happy-go-lucky boy you could ever imagine. Ripken was a stunner. Great looking and always so happy with the perkiest ears. He was Bre's baby. He is gone way too soon. Rest in peace old friend. We love you Ripster and hope you are not driving St. Peter too crazy asking him to throw "just one more bumper!"

GMPR, HR Cooperstown's Eagle Eye (Beckley)
Beckley was a pretty, fox red female with a ton of natural ability and a caring heart. She loved to hunt! Cancer took Beckley from us way too soon and we miss her goofy personality and all her branches. We know God has a big apple tree branch he needs carried around and Beckley is just the girl for the job.
