Blindfaith Retrievers is located at the Little Wappaoolah Farm near Indianola, Illinois, 30 miles southeast of Champaign, Illinois, and 90 miles southwest of Indianapolis, Indiana. Our farm is 45 acres of fields, woods and streams devoted to providing habitation for deer, turkey, pheasant and quail-and, of course, training grounds for our beloved retrievers.

Blindfaith Retrievers is owned by Bill and Marcia Butikas. Bill is a retired math teacher, avid hunter, Illinois basketball fan and St. Louis Cardinals baseball fan. Bowhunting whitetails is a special passion but he also hunts ducks, geese, pheasants, doves and coyotes (without dogs!). Marcia was an English teacher but now is a school social worker at Danville High School a position from which she will retire in May of 2016. She hunts with Bill and has her first gun buck hanging on the office wall and her second buck, 2007 Illiana Bowhunters Big Buck of The Year, hanging on the living room wall. Marcia loves to write, build nighttime fires and do things with the dogs.
