Flying Squirrel Retrievers

07/22/2025

Poppy had another great weekend with her trainer Matt at Wanderlust Kennel! They traveled up to ME to compete in the Penobscot Hunting Retriever Club AKC tests, and she went two for two on her passes! Getting her half way to her AKC Junior title!

A bit thank you again to Matt of wanderlust_kennel for handling her and making her shine! And of course to Danielle of Rimfire Retrievers for placing this special and wonderful girl with us! 🤎

What a weekend our girls had! To say I’m proud of them would be an understatement!
Poppy ran her first hunt test this weekend at the Granite State HRC Club tests and is two for two on her UKC/HRC Started passes! A huge thank you to her trainer Matt at Wanderlust Kennel for all you’ve put into her, and for handling her!

While Poppy was retrieving birds, I had Bo, Winnie, and Roo out at the American Eskimo Dog Club of New England UKC show on Sunday. Roo played in the puppy class full of some really lovely puppies! While she didn’t place, her brother, Koda, took 4th! We are so proud of him and his mama Cailin for getting out there and getting in the show ring for the first time! I can’t wait to see what they accomplish going forward!
In show one, Bo took BOB! She did so good for her first time out!
In show two, Winnie Winnie was BOB, with Bo taking Reserve to her. She then went on to take a Group 1 against some lovely dogs in the Gun Dog group!

With the nice weather and more adventures with our dogs, it’s a good time to check and restock our first aid kit we keep in our car!
We also keep the same supplies in our kennel and house!
The car kit does have some human things in it too :)

What is in your first aid kits for you and your pups?

**Moana has found herself the most wonderful home full of love and adventure!**

Moana is still in search of a couch to call her own!
This girl will make someone an awesome active pet, sport or working dog, or fun show prospect! She is a quick learner, and loves to please! I
Can see her doing super well in rally, trick training, scent work ect.

She is 3 months old, UTD on her puppy vaccines, learning leash manners and basic commands,
She is crate trained, and working on house training…. (I still use a litter box in the house at night 😅)

Please send us a message with any questions!

A big thank you to Majenli Creations for our lovely new binder to hold all our dog’s info and records! It came out wonderfully!

Finding high value training treats can be a battle at times! We love using Redbarn Premium Pet Products Air Dried food as training treats! The dogs love them, and they are complete and balanced, so we don’t have to worry about giving too many and throwing meal balances out of whack! redbarninc

Poppy is having a wonderful experience at Wanderlust! We highly recommend them, as Matt has been very patient and informative in answering all my beginner questions and concerns, and Poppy loves being treated like family during her visits. :)

Welcome Pretty Poppy!

This sweet chocolate girl is joining us from flying_squirrel_retrievers to fine tune her retriever skills. She will compete with Matt at several upcoming hunt tests, both HRC and AKC, in order to earn her Started and JH titles.

Poppy is part of our Gun Dog program. If you’d like more information about having your dog participate in this program and earning HRC or AKC hunt test titles with us, please send an email to [email protected]. There’s still room in the truck and time to register for tests later this season!

Can’t believe this girl is still looking for her forever couch!
‘Moana’ is a fun loving girl who is looking to be a quite active pet, or sport/working prospect.
She would love fun sports like Dock diving, FastCAT, scent work, Rally/OB, hunt tests, or being a hunting partner.

She is 12 weeks old, UTD on vaccines. Crate Trained. We are working on more potty training, but she’s doing well there! (I just need to stop being lazy and ditch the litter box 😅) working basic commands and leash manners and doing well there as well!

Her 💲 will increase the longer she is here due to time put into her.

We are so proud of Boog from our Toy Story litter and his owner Annie! They’ve worked hard this past year and it’s been paying off!

He is now Flying Squirrel It’s Open Season TKN CGC SBN!🤎🐾🐻
