In August of 2006, after 28 years of working at the local battery company, I decided to retire to devote my attention to training and breeding labs. Because of my flexible schedule, I was able to train nearly everyday.
I started training retrievers by training my own dog using books and videos. Over the years I have learned many new techniques that a retriever needs to be a good companion and hunting partner. I have had many mentors along the way and I give kudos to all of them. They have all made a HUGE impact in our lives with their extensive knowledge of breeding and training labrador retrievers. In August 2009, I began working and training with Randy Bohn of Rammin' Retrievers. Again, I've learned an enormous amount of information from him. We have been members of various clubs in previous years.
Effective 2018, we no longer offer any training programs and are focusing more on our breeding program.
I am an avid outdoorsman and I enjoy all types of hunting. My wife, Deb, retired on June 2, 2023 from our local university and is the salesperson and financial officer for D & S Retrievers....PLUS she keeps our household running smoothly.
