From FAMILY to FIELD
At All Around Retrievers our goal is to breed quality AKC registered retrievers. Whether your interest is a pointing lab, hunt test dog, shed hunting, a highly trainable family pet, or your next weekend hunting partner. Our dogs excel at all aspects of waterfowl and upland hunting. We select for dogs that not only have the natural talent and desire to hunt but also make excellent family pets. We begin by selecting dogs based upon their hunt test and field trial pedigree. We generally prefer a mix of field trial and hunt test pedigrees to produce dogs that have a high drive to hunt and retrieve but that the same time will be content spending time in the house as part of the family. Our dogs are not kennel dogs. They all live in our home and even sleep with our children. We consider their ability to be content and pleasant inside the home to be as important as their natural talent and ability in the field. We have had working dogs all our lives and have found our retrievers to have amazing on/off switches. They LOVE to work and they will easily go from couch potato to giving you 100% in the field then back to relaxing at your feet. Once our dogs have achieved success in the field we ensure that all appropriate health tests and clearances are done so that we are doing our best to contribute to the improvement of the breed we love.
