Southern Tide Kennels-Retriever & Obedience Training

Considering moving my personal dog. She is a little over 2 years old. Not a washout! Very good marker, great training attitude. Through swimby and running pattern blinds. Her hips are OFA Excellent and elbows are Normal, eyes are CERF’d clear. Smaller female around 40 lbs. Crate trained and travels well, would rather go to an amateur or serious hunter.

She was a fun one to basics on. She now has her AKC Master Hunter title and a couple Qualifying placements that had big entries. 💪

“Ruth” is a field trial prospect we are raising and doing the basics on. So far so good with this little firecracker! She is absolutely a pleasure to train!

15 years ago getting a new incoming group of dogs and handlers acclimated before pushing out to their AO’s. During this time I was the only one in Afghanistan responsible for over 200+ Marine K9 teams with very limited support. Many things I needed I either bought with my own money and had shipped, or had to make things work. I got to experience some good times and some I wish I never did. Very thankful for these men and those before them who defended this country we call home 🇺🇸

Pretty cool pic one of my childhood friends sent me. Jason and I grew up doing duck calling contests, hunting, and guiding together. I’ve trained two dogs for him and little “Bree” has been making memories with his two girls ever since she went home. Forever thankful for the clients and friends who believed in my little training kennel 🙏

Most know we scaled back after my wife’s accident and only training a couple on the side now. The surprise texts like this makes me really miss training full-time. Thank you to the great clients we had/have and hope everyone is having a great holiday season so far

Had an old client/friend send me this video from this weekend of a gator coming up their dog ramp! Thankfully “Reign” was home until it cools off some more ‼️ 🐊

Good luck to all of our clients and friends tomorrow morning! Be safe and if hunting the marsh, I’d strongly suggest leaving the dogs home 🐊 👎

Happy Veteran’s Day to those who have honorably served this wonderful country!

Special thanks to all the Marines I got to work with for many years 🇺🇸

Still the absolutely best time I ever had training dogs. When having each others back meant life or death. Miss all the Marines and the 4-legged ones as well 🇺🇸

20 years and hundreds of dogs later, I will always remember the labradors I got to train that saved countless lives.
