"Jones" is the son of legendary Michigan Field Trial Labrador FC/AFC Two Toes Out the Door who was bred to CK's Little Miss Dangerous MH. Bringing together a perfect blend of field trial genes (sires side) and upland performance Labradors (dams side) that go back to Epic Midwest Upland Stud "Rik's Risky Raider." Jones certainly brings a
high energy to the uplands that is a direct result of his pedigree.
"Jones" weighs in right at 50lbs, he is everything Ric & Fritz wanted in a potential foundation stud dog. Jones eats up the woods with a smooth floating gait, he is strong yet agile, has laser eye site, a strong nose, and drive and stamina to wear out birds and hunters alike. Jones is going into his seventh wild bird season. Flushing and retrieving Ruffed Grouse, Woodcock, wild Pheasants, Quail, and Prairie grouse in Michigan, North & South Dakota (8 weeklong trips) and Kansas (4 week long trips). All though Jones is primarily being brought along as a wild upland bird dog with a focus towards Great Lakes Ruffed Grouse, his field trial genes have proven
to make him a very acceptable waterfowl dog the half dozen times a year he sits over a decoy spread.

Betsie River’s Second Creek Wolverine “Wolf” is a product of our 2011 breeding between foundation stud Jones and Bella. Wolf epitomizes the structure, size, and conformation we seek for the ideal Labrador Retriever, suited to the grouse woods, prairie and marsh. Wolf is a young up and coming dog with excellent intelligence, trainability and natural talent. Our hopes are for Wolf to fill his sire’s shoes as both a bird dog and consistent producer as our Stud dog of the future. We look forward to hunting behind Wolf coming up and watching his growth as a wild bird dog and companion develop further.

Ric's Rooster Deuce
Owner: Ric & Narissa Heller - Traverse City, MI
DOB: 11/07/2002
Deuce is where it all started for Reverend Ric. They learned the game of upland hunting together teaching one another as they went. Deuce has a choke bore nose and knows just how to work a bird for the gun. He is hell on cripples and if a bird try's to sit he will "point" out exactly where it is at.
