Info on our breeding and pups. . .

BREEDING:   River Run Retriever puppies are bred for hunting, competition and family companions. The bloodline on our females and the stud dogs we chose always breed true for temperament. They are easy to train, love to be with their family and are eager to please you. We are careful to select only stud dogs that are proven producers of strong, healthy, and trainable offspring. The stud dogs used are from kennels with unquestionable ethics in their own breeding program. All stud dogs are titled in UKC/HRC, AKC and NAHRA competitions.  

PUPS Our puppies are whelped and lovingly raised in our home. They are well socialized from day one being exposed to everyday noises with plenty of personal care given to each pup. Sheets and fleece are used in the whelping box for traction and carefully monitored for cleanness. The moms are fed Purina ProPlan supplemented with Canine Plus. Because our moms are competitive they continue their training and are kept on a regular exercise routine. When the pups are three weeks old, they are started on Purina ProPlan puppy food. Around four 1/2 weeks of age, they are ready to go out and meet the world. They are moved out in the yard into a 10 x 10 kennel where they have plenty of room to explore. From five to seven weeks of age they are introduced to water, birds, guns, and have a great playtime with our grandchildren.

The following veterinarian services are provided for each pup:
