Welcome to Big Cottonwood Retrievers
Big Cottonwood Retrievers is located between the sleepy little village of Lewellen Nebraska and the sandy beaches of Lake McConaughy. We are in the heart of the Central Flyway and live just a few wing beats from the infamous North Platte River. From September until May we enjoy the migration of many species of birds from our front porch.
Whether you're looking for a new family member, hunting companion or competitor, you've come to the right place.
Before we decide to breed any of our girls they must measure up to our standards and the practices and standards that promote to the betterment of the breed. Everyone of our girls will be tested and be screened for common hereditary issues. In addition, we only breed to Sires that we can verify are free of undesirable traits including but not limited to Exercise Induced Collapse (EIC) and Centro Nuclear Myopathy (CNM). We also screen hips, elbows and eyes and register the results with OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals).
We take into account breed standards, accomplishments, attitude, intelligence, trainability, style and desire. You see, it's not just about the pedigree! In fact our most popular Girl has a modest pedigree but excels in so many ways!
Below you will find links to several sites including our Partners, Organizations and recommended like minded individuals and Groups. We are also looking forward to watching one of our Puppies who will be featured on TV and in training videos.
