Buying a Started dog is a "smart" way to buy your next Retriever. It takes a lot to get a dog to any level of training. It takes money, it takes training, but it takes the most important resource of all, it takes TIME! When we sell a dog we are honest with the dog's level of training. We are truthful with the dog's personality quirks. No dog is perfect, the longer you own them and work with them the better ther are. We seek to make every dog a talented Retriever and find them a home that benefits the dog and the owner.
