TOP DOG RETRIEVERS

About our Dogs

At Top Dog Retrievers our dogs are companions first. We believe that a good companion should be attentive, intelligent, eager to please and easy to train. These are attributes we feel all Labradors should possess and are the corner stone of our breeding program. As a result Top Dog Retriever puppies have been favored by families seeking active, trainable companions and hunters; however our dogs have many other practical and lifesaving jobs.

Our dogs are strong and enthusiastic retrievers. Many are titled hunters as are many of the puppies we have produced. Our dogs participate in AKC hunt test, Working Certificate retriever competitions and make fantastic hunting companions.

Several of our dogs are trained each year by us and other professional organizations as service dogs for Autistic children and as diabetic alert dogs.

Currently, a great number of our dogs are working as both volunteer and professional search and rescue dogs including helicopter avalanche rescue, urban SAR's dogs and cadaver dogs.

Our dogs have been utilized in saving lives in Iraq and Afghanistan as improvised explosive device detection dogs or IDD’s, locating and alerting our military of road side bombs.

Last but not least we train many of our dogs and dogs we have bred to work as therapy dogs. Our dogs are successful at all of these jobs and more, not only because they are intelligent but because of their desire to please. It is this desire that coined dogs “man’s best friend.”

We are proud of the dogs we produce and the many accomplishments they have achieved. However, their love and companionship continue to be their best and most valuable contribution to our lives.
