Our Dogs
Nuala
|
Bay is a 52 pound, confident marker that takes off like a rocket and gears down a bit while running straight blinds. She is calm and loves attention when you want to give it to her when in the house or yard. Outside she is always using her nose to investigate her surrondings. Her combined pedigree from our Secret Lab Jade x Dave MNH4 comes from the UK and United States with some of the greatest accomplished dogs!
Bay is a natural in the upland and shed hunts like a maniac. During waterfowl hunts she is relaxed and observant and marks multiple falls very well in both the field and water. Her water entry is big and swims the same straight lines in the water as land. She honors other working dogs while in the field like a seasoned veteran. I cannot wait to enter hunt tests and upland competitions with her. She is athletic, smart, very biddable and I am excited to have a dog of this caliber come from my own lines to produce more great dogs!

Stud Dog
Jimmie
Flatwater Secret Ingredient
Owned by: Tyson Walker - Secret Labs
Jimmie is a gorgeous, 63 pound, black male that boasts clean genetics along with the yellow/red gene. He is attentive, calm in nature and loves to learn and work! He is a strong marker with an impeccable nose that pairs well with his drive for birds, shed antlers and tracking deer. Jimmie's sire, Amos, was imported in the early 2000's from England and has a pedigree filled with working and FTCH lineage. His pups were sought after due to their outstanding bird drive and calm nature that paired very well with hunting families. Additionally, many of his pups impressed the clients of South Dakota hunting guides due to their natural bird drive and endurance day after day. Jimmie has shown us that he carries the same traits and we are excited to have him as Secret Labs' first stud dog that goes back to our foundation female and her first breeding to an Int FTCH & MH imported from Hungary.

River
(Retired)
Raider's Risky Secret River Bottom Rooster SH
Owned by: Tyson Walker - Secret Labs
River was our first pup and we absolutely love her personality, determination, and drive. She is four and has her Senior Hunter AKC Title and shed antler training. As time permits, we will continue to train and run to obtain her MH title. In 2020, we hope to title and compete in Minnesota at the Master Nationals.
River is an amazing dog. As a 5 month old, she hunted North Dakota ducks with little training. On multiple days, she retrieved two guys limits that otherwise would have floated away in big water or been lost in the abundant cattails.
Our hunt club's pro continually makes remarks about how natural of a retriever River is as a young dog.
River is a fast, hard charging yellow that weighs-in at 51 pounds. She is agile in the field and has the drive and power to break ice, swim big water through whitecaps and sprint across dug fields with Giant Canada geese in her grasp.
When River is hunting upland she has the desire and athleticism to hunt all day and investigate all the terrain with ease. She lives to unwind wild roosters' trails.
This past March, River and I entered the NATHA Tri-state and the US Pheasant Open and we placed 3rd in the Top Gun event at both. It is good that River is so talented because I did not have a clue on how to read the field. She placed at these events with a litter of 9 puppies ages 4 & 6 weeks old waiting at home for her. Then in May, after two full years of not seeing a hunt test setup, she got her first Master Hunter pass .
During the off season, she enjoys using her hunting ability to find deer sheds.
The best part about her is that she is an amazing companion to my friends and family. She loves showing you affection and getting her belly rubbed, too.
*River is literally a cover girl! An original oil painting of River painted by artist Christopher Smith is featured on the cover of February/March 2020 edition of The Retriever Journal with a write-up about our breeding program.

Jade
(Retired)
Jade Secret River
Owened by: Tyson Walker & Bastian Family
Jade Secret River
Owened by: Tyson Walker & Bastian Family
Jade is out of our River's first litter in the summer of 2016 with Hungarian import International Champion Magnum, MH.
Jade is one of the only dogs that I have seen that can keep up with her mom's speed and agility yet she can relax and love her people.
Jade's intelligence is showing and her on/off switch is impeccable! During training, I was able to do bird and gun introduction with live birds and move directly to obedience training afterwards and Jade's focus and energy was astonishing. She moved from one to the other like she was transitioning in church.
This girl can hunt and mark!

Willow
(Retired)
Walker's Secret Weeping Salix
Walker's Secret Weeping Salix
Willow is a loving dog that loved to retrieve, work, and run blinds. Her eyes immediatley connected to your soul as a true teammate while her shiny black coat outlined her athletic build. She is the daughter to our River and Magnum is her sire. Due to an accident we did not have her in our lives for long; however, she did produce one litter of puppies that have changed the lives for better to seven different families. We were very fortunate to have a great dog for such a short time.
