Punk Hollow Labrador Retriever – The home of Quality Labrador Retriever
Punk Hollow Kennel, established by Nick Portentoso a retired Fostoria Police Officer. Punk Hollow Kennel started as a small family business, driven by their love of God and Country. We follow the Golden Rules. Treat others as we wish to be treated. Currently, Punk Hollow Labrador Retriever is o

wned by a father and son, with a strong sense of public service. The founder, Nicholas Portentoso, is a retired police officer. His son, Dana Portentoso, is an Air Force Veteran with 11 years of service, 6 of them Active Duty. Dana is currently serving with the 910th SFS in Youngstown, Ohio. In addition, he serves the City of Sandusky as a Firefighter/Paramedic. Nothing brings us more joy than providing a family with a happy, healthy, Labrador Retriever Puppy that we know will grow up in a loving home and provide its owners with years of joy. One of the greatest things about our labs is the versatility of the breed. Also, our focus has always been on producing champion Gun dogs. Furthermore, our labs have gone on to be: Water dogs, flushing dogs, pointing dogs, retrieving dogs, upland hunting dogs, waterfowl hunting dogs, dock jumpers, blood trackers, shed finders, deer dogs, therapy dogs, Wounded Warrior dogs, drug detection dogs, bomb detection dogs, and family pets. OUR MISSION STATEMENT
Our goal is simple: We love our labs and strive to perfect the Labrador Retriever breed. In addition, we use sound breeding practices, and careful pedigree selection. Additionally, we use DNA testing, medical screening, and competition. Finally, staying within the bred standards.

Sage’s training continued today.
She progressed faster than expected, so we moved retrieving outdoors and increased the distance. Normally, I keep retrieves indoors for one to two weeks—Sage made the transition after just three sessions. Early signs of drive, focus, and natural ability.

Wrapped up an incredible weekend guiding at Elkhorn Lake Hunt Club! The teamwork between my dogs, Gunner and Nero, was nothing short of impressive. They worked tirelessly and showcased their skills beautifully.

Gunner and Nero’s have an amazing knack for locating birds, always on the scent and staying focused on the task. Gunner, with his excellent flushing ability, ensured we had plenty of opportunities for successful shots. Nero as a puppy in training is improving day by day. Watching them mark the fallen game was a highlight; they seemed to instinctively know exactly where each bird landed.

Their retrieving skills were on point, bringing back every bird without a scratch. It’s such a thrill to see them in action, working together seamlessly. Nothing beats the bond we share in the field. Can’t wait for our next adventure together!

We took a few of the older grandboys camping this weekend, and what a blast we had. Now with this being my Punk Hollow Labrador Retriever site, I would like to point out my furry boy, Gunner. Gunner is a phenomenal gun dog, and shines in the art of hunting, be it trialing, guiding or family hunting trip. BUT, the second side of him is what makes him a grand slam. He loves his family with a wonderful temperament, and drive of belonging. Need I say more.
