Welcome!
Black Powder Kennel is located at New Norway, Alberta (SE of Edmonton). Black Powder dogs are proudly loved and owned
by Ron & Faye Ford. We are dedicated to raising top quality purebred Labradors from top
Field Trial, Hunt Test and performance bloodlines. We breed for the versatile lab – every dog we raise we strive for a companion that can excel in the Obedience Ring, Field Trial, Hunt Test in the morning and be ready to go to the duck blind in the evening or just contently curl up beside you on the couch while you enjoy a good book. Our breeding focus is targeted for Temperament, Health, Athleticism, Natural Hunting ability and good looks!
We have started the foundation of our kennel on the best breeding in the Labrador world. Our sire traces his lineage quickly back to the greatest dog in the Retriever Hall of Fame – “Ebonstar Lean Mac”. (No retriever of any breed has sired more Field Trial champions than Lean Mac). We continue to improve our bloodlines from genetics from both Canada and the USA.
Ron and Faye
When Faye was in her late teens there were no greater small bore rifle competitors than her. Trained at the Olympic Training Centre in Colorado Springs, she was #1 female competition small bore shooter in Canada. Her dedication allowed her to achieve Canadian Titles as well as compete internationally.
In his youth Ron dedicated himself to raising and training top quality paint Horses. Ron now enjoys training and competing in Hunt tests with their dogs. The same drive and determination that allowed each of them to excel in their chosen field, is the same passion each brings to the breeding, raising and training of champion Labradors. It is this support they bring to assisting you in finding and loving the dog of YOUR dreams!
Ron and Faye are active members of the Canadian Kennel Club, are registered breeders with the CKC as well as active members with the Alberta Clipper Hunter Retriever Association.
Pups
Selectively bred black, yellow, and chocolate pups are born in our home; with a focus on yellow.
Each and every pup receives 24/7 love, care and attention.
Our puppies have their own whelping room, which provides new moms a comfortable place to birth and raise her babies. The whelping box has a heated nest so each pup can stay warm when not nursing. This allows us to sleep next to the newborn litter, monitoring them closely. They are “in Tune” with our busy daily lives. An Indoor/outdoor run provides space to grow and play. Before leaving our home at 8 weeks of age each pup receives our specialized socialization program.
We are NOT a kennel, each dog is a valued member of our household.
Each pup comes with CKC Limited (non-breeding) registration, vet health check, 1st vaccines, numerous deworming, microchip, small bag of food, puppy starter kit and blanket with their litter mates scent on it.
Our pups are sold with a 26 month health warranty against Hip & Elbow Dysplasia and lifetime warranty against genetic eye disease, EIC & CNM. We also supply lifelong breeder support.

Our Name
The Black Powder name is dedicated to Faye’s father – Harvey Trace. Harvey has spent his lifetime as a competitive shooter. He has won numerous Canadian and International Shooting Championships. His name is well known in the competitive shooting world. He is 91 years old and can still be found at shooting matches or on the gun range.
He gave Faye the opportunity to achieve her dreams in the shooting world. She now brings that same passion in providing the attention to detail and in providing the support you are looking for in YOUR next best
“Forever Friend”.
We salute you, Dad!
Our Philosophy
Whether as a Field Trial / Hunt Test dog or as a faithful family companion we are extremely proud of our dogs. We pick dogs who are mentally and physically sound, with outgoing, sociable temperaments, high confidence and drive, with natural eagerness for birds, retrieving, and swimming. Prior to breeding, our dogs are evaluated to ensure they meet these high standards for performance, structure and temperament. They also undergo rigorous health testing to ensure that no preventable genetic issues are passed along.
Our breeding program is based on bloodlines honored in the Retriever Hall of Fame and will excel
