👑 WHATA WOODY! 👑

Day three of our Crown countdown belongs to WOODY HABLINSKI, who has qualified to compete in the 2026 Super Retriever Series Crown Championship!

🐾 Bigwoods Whata Woody
Owned by Billy Hablinski

If Woody could say one thing before stepping to the line:
“LET ME DO IT MY WAY!” 😂

He’s got his own ideas, but there’s a loving boy behind that competitive spirit! Billy says people might be surprised by just how affectionate Woody is. ❤️

His perfect reward after a great run? A loving pat and a treat. Sometimes the simple things mean the most!

🎶 His Crown walk-up song? “Eye of the Tiger” by Survivor. Sounds like Woody is ready to get down to business!

Help us cheer on Woody as he gets ready to compete at the Crown! 👑🐾

The things we do for absolutely no reason. 😂

Sophie had the idea, Hunter put his money where his mouth is, and Asha was just along for the ride. 🐾📱

And wouldn’t you know it, they actually pulled it off! 🤣

Never a dull moment with this crew. ❤️

👑 SHE’S ALL BUSINESS 👑

Day two of our Crown countdown belongs to CRISTA WATERS, who has qualified to compete in the 2026 Super Retriever Series Crown Championship!

🐾 Hiwaters Cristalino Diamante
Owned by Frank Waters

If Crista could say one thing before stepping to the line:
“Relax boss. I’ve got you, so let’s go win this thing!!” 💪🐾

On the field, she’s all business. Off the field? Frank says she’s a lovable, goofy, playful girl! ❤️

Her perfect reward after a great run isn’t anything fancy. Just a big “That’s a girl!” and a great big hug from her handler.

🎶 Her Crown walk-up song? “I’m a Survivor.” A little confidence looks good on this girl!

Help us cheer on Crista as she gets ready to compete at the Crown! 👑🐾

👑 WHATTA MAN! 👑

Nine dogs. Nine days. One Crown Championship! We’re kicking off our countdown with MAN BEST, who has qualified to compete in the 2026 Super Retriever Series Crown Championship!

🐾 Callbacks Lean Lad O’ Grady
Owned by Dakota & Kara Best
Primarily trained by Dakota Best at Blue Wing Kennels, with additional training by Rody Best
Handled at the Crown by Rody Best

Man was previously owned by Kevin McDonald, a dear friend of Best Retrievers whose kindness and thoughtfulness have meant so much to our whole team. We’re happy to recognize his part in Man’s story! ❤️

If Man could say one thing before stepping to the line:
“What do you mean ‘Quiet’? I don’t know what that means!” 😂

Off the field, his owners say he’s the laziest dog inside! He heads straight to his “Man Cave” and won’t wake up for hours. A little something to chew on is his idea of the perfect reward.

🎶 His Crown walk-up song? “Whatta Man” by Salt-N-Pepa. Was there ever any question?!

Help us cheer on Man and Rody as they get ready to compete at the SRS Crown Championship! 👑🐾

Tomorrow at 4:00, right here in this beautiful spot at Best Retrievers, a covenant will be made before God. ❤️

Our very own trainer, Tori, will marry the love of her life, Jack!

We’ve watched Tori pour her heart into the dogs and people around her, and tomorrow we get to watch her begin one of the most beautiful chapters of her own life.

What a blessing to have this special moment take place right here at BR.

Please join us in praying for Tori and Jack as they begin their life together. ❤️

🏆 THREE FIRST PASSES. THREE VERY SPECIAL DOGS! ❤️🐾

Master National 2026 was one to remember! These three headed to Oregon with different personalities and training journeys, but all came home with their very FIRST Master National silver plate!

OUR BABY DOG BROUGHT HOME HIS FIRST MASTER NATIONAL PLATE! 🏆❤️🐾

MEET C**T 🐾 | MASTER NATIONAL 2026

At just 2½ years old, C**t Jones was the youngest dog on our truck headed to Oregon, and this little guy had a pretty big accomplishment waiting for him!

His FIRST Master National pass! 🏆

There’s something especially rewarding about watching a young dog grow from those first lessons into a competitor capable of successfully completing all five series at Master National.

And C**t’s journey has been a family affair! Dakota Best was responsible for C**t’s foundation training, helping build the skills and confidence that would carry him into his competitive career.

To see C**t standing beside Rody in Oregon, proudly bringing home his very first plate, makes this accomplishment even sweeter!

A huge congratulations to Debbie and Britt Jones, who have so much to be proud of, and to everyone who has helped C**t along the way!

THE YOUNGEST DOG ON THE TRUCK… AND OFFICIALLY A MASTER NATIONAL PASSING DOG! ❤️🏆🐾

We have a feeling this is just the beginning for C**t!
