Badger Canyon Labrador Retrievers
As I write this I am still just in shock. Badger Canyon Bratty Beretta (Bratty)passed away suddenly last evening, she went so fast . She was almost 14 years old. She hasn’t been eating great for the last couple of days but she does that and bounces back. She all of a sudden started having breathing issues at home. I called our amazing vet Dr Oliver it was after hours. He agreed to meet me at the office. My amazing friend Laura quickly came to help me carry her to the car. As I was holding my sweet Beretta in my arms in the back seat she passed away as we pulled into the vets parking lot at 8pm 11/4/2025 💔🐾. She went over the Rainbow Bridge the same way she came in on HER TERMS. I will miss her VERY LOUD bark as she got older as she demanded a treat or demanded to be pet. She was an amazing family member and will be very missed. I had the honor of delivering Beretta. Bratty has produced many amazing talented Pointing Lab puppies thru the years. She was such an amazing momma and even got milk when she wasn’t pregnant and helped nurse her Mom Shaylee’s litter.
Have fun in Heaven with your momma and all your sibs. She is the last of our very first litter of Badger Canyon Labs💔. It is a blessing that almost all of her litter was at least 13 when they passed.
I will never forget when I brought you home from the dog trainer he said NO MATTER WHAT if you say HERE you have to be willing to enforce it! She will test you. So when she was home a week, I let her out in the front yard. It was time to come in I yelled HERE BRATTY. Yup she looked at me gave me the finger and started running the opposite way. What did I do? I bolted out the door in my underwear and chased her ass down and made her listen. Thank god I live in the country.
I LOVE YOU Bratty Girl have fun rolling in cow p**p, taking off to where ever you want, BARKING Loud for Pets, Jumping into Fire Pits and chasing birds. You taught me so much about training my stubborn sweet girl.
