At Sulphur River Kennels, our goal is to breed the total retriever-a hunting companion that can do the work and then come home to be a valued member of the family, even a full-time house dog if you desire. We breed for intelligence, trainability, physical soundness, desire, marking ability, and a good, all-round attitude. We don't like the crazy, hyper-type dogs and we definitely don't breed for the large, slow, unathletic, show types that have little or no desire to retrieve. Our program is geared toward quality, not quantity. This is not a "puppy mill". We only produce 1-3 litters per year. Our puppies are not cheap, backyard-type breedings, nor are they out of the reach of the average sportsman. Expect to pay $700 and up for a quality puppy. Remember, this is going to be your hunting companion and friend for the next 10-14 years. All SRK litters come from OFA (hips certified) and CERF (eyes certified) parents. Each puppy is sold with a written hip/eye guarantee and has had its dew claws removed by a vet.

No Litters at this time.

• FC=Field Trial Champion-A highly desirable title. In short, the best working retrievers in the world.
• NFC=National Field Champion-The winner of the National Open Field Trial.
• AFC=Amateur Field Trial Champion-A Field Champion handled by an Amateur Handler instead of a Pro. Many Field Champions have both titles.
• QAA=Qualified All Age-A step below FC.
• MH=Master Hunter-The highest title attained by Hunt Test retrievers. Easier to obtain than an FC, but still very desirable.
• SH=Senior Hunter
• JH= Junior Hunter

We always have knowledge of well bred, reasonably priced litters. Sulphur River Kennel offers a FREE puppy locating service tailored to your individual needs.
