David's love of bird dogs brings him to his newest venture, Big Sky Labrador Retrievers. David was a Brittany guy until the last few years when his efforts were turned to breeding and training Labrador Retrievers. We have 6 adult Labs currently. All of David's original breeding stock were sired by National or National Amateur Champions. DeCan's Back In Black, (Ace) was sired by NFC FC AFC Maxx's Surprise. DeCan's No More Mr. Nice Guy (Cooper) was sired by NAFC FC AFC Texas Troubadour. DeCan's Notorious Nyx (Nyx) was sired by NFC AFC FC Hunter Runs Booboo. DeCan's Flirt'n With Disaster (Molly) was sired by NAFC FC AFC Pack Your Grip. From the original breeding with Ace and Nye we have two additional females, DeCan's Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club and DeCan's Baby Got Her Blue Jeans On.

Big Sky Labrador Retrievers
David with his two foundation sires:
DeCan's Back In Black, aka Mr. Ace & DeCan's No More Mr. Nice Guy, aka Mr. Cooper
Presently David is breeding Field and Family Labrador Retrievers and has puppies and started dogs available at various times during the year. He is a bird dog trainer and hopes to do more of this when he retires down the road a bit.
Big Sky Labrador Retrievers was started to provide National Champion type Labrador Retrievers to families and hunters at a reasonable price. Because we offer AKC limited registration on all of our pups we are able to sell them for reasonable prices. Please call David for currently puppy pricing. An AKC limited registration is a complete AKC registration, but it does now allow the progeny of the dog to be registered by the AKC.
Our dogs while being great in the field are just as great in the home as family dogs. We don't believe that a Big Sky Lab is underutilized by being just a family dog. On the contrary, we feel that being a family dog is our Lab's highest calling. The Labrador Retriever is the long time standing number one dog in America for a reason--it's because no other breed makes a better family dog. Period. We seek these kind of homes, both hunter and non-hunter homes for our puppies and started dogs.
David meets with prospective bird dog clients in Missoula at his Hearth & Home Real Estate office at 2412 River Road #A. Hearth & Home is located on Reserve St. at River Road, just south of the Clark Fork River bridge. He is available to take calls, texts or emails at most times. 406-531-6939, [email protected].
