We are a small, family owned and operated kennel in central Indiana who specialize in American, field bred Labrador Retrievers for hunting and hunt testing. They are first and foremost family dogs who live exclusively indoors. Due to their temperaments and desire to please, they make the transition from home to the field exceptionally well. Our goal is to produce working gun dogs who are sound in health and temperament and are able to be successful in hunt tests, as hunting companions, or as the family pets. We believe in holding ourselves to a higher standard where all of our dogs are exceptional in their abilities in marking, desire, style, trainability, and most importantly as family dogs.

Our dogs are registered with, and run in hunt tests for both the American Kennel Club and the United Kennel Club, and are amateur trained by Jeff and I. We are primarily active in UKC's Hunting Retriever Club hunt tests, having campaigned throughout the Midwest. We are also active members of the Hoosier Hunting Retriever Club where I set on the board of directors as secretary and public relations officer. Without the help and guidance of many of Hoosier's club members we would not be who we are today. I am also a Registered Veterinary Technician having recieved my Associates degree from Purdue University. Therefore, our dogs recieve the very best of care and medical attention with the help of Dr. Emily King at All-Star Veterinary Clinic.

If you are looking for a great dog to compete in hunt tests or want an excellent hunting companion look no further!
