Canvasback Retrievers

Canvasback Retrievers Breeding quality dual purpose Labrador Retrievers in Elk River MN. If you are looking for a field trial packed pedigree, you won't find it here.

Here at Canvasback Retrievers we breed quality, health tested, Labrador Retrievers in all colors. We are avid hunters, run hunt tests and strive to pair dogs that will produce wonderful hunting dogs and family companions. We have a mix of hunt tests and show ring titles. We feed Life's Abundance food to all of our animals. We also use some of the human products for ourselves. When we switched, we

were skeptical. We were skeptical because over the years I have had people pitch it to me and it was one of those businesses that pays commission based on rank and your down line and some other things.... That was literally the only thing. Well... I swear to you I wish I had looked past that and just tried it! Our moms do better on it, puppies are healthy with firm stool, less p**p, shiny, energetic, big dogs and the cat doesn't shed as much, The cat's acne and sore healed up, less ear and eye goo, the list goes on! Because of this dramatic increase in health, we also decided to be a Life's Abundance Representative. This allows us to be one of the genuine spokes people for this wonderful company and help others find the benefits we have found in it's products. At this point in our breeding career, we aim to help our puppies be healthy, but also to help anyone who has an existing pet find something to help them live a healthy and comfortable life!

Asher and his sister were altered last week. This means they are both close to being ready for their furever homes!

Asher is a curious sweet boy who walks well on leash for a young dog. We are working on kennel and potty training, coming when called and general manners. Hes doing well. 80% of the time he is quiet in his kennel unless it's dinner or breakfast time or he needs to potty. Occasionally because theres something exciting going on and he cant be part of it. We're only on week 2 of kennel training though.

If anyone thinks they would like to meet Asher, or possibly adopt him make sure you apply on the NDLB website! Link in comments.

Today, someone chewed a hole in the vinyl in the puppy area. That means we start kennel training today. Learning to do nothing and be ok with it is an important life skill. Kennel training helps with potty training as well. That also goes into full effect today. It'll be interesting with 3. Wish us luck! 😆

Before starting the puppy culture program, I never thought a puppy would sit nicely waiting for treats. This program makes it possible. Love us some puppy culture!

Marlee is so photogenic! She is also so sweet and cuddly. She is like a fluffy squishmallow.

I know it's a bit out there for a breeder to foster dogs and work with a rescue. I can't explain how much better Midnight is doing now (emotionally and physically) with puppies to play with. She would have been "OK" without them, but they learn so much from interacting with their litter mates. It was the right choice for us, and I think she is better off because of it. The fosters are enjoying a stable environment with multiple meals and a warm place to sleep, too. ❤️
