Occasionally we will keep a show/breeding prospect and for one reason or another does not work out and becomes available to a good home. These dogs have had manners/leash training, house training, crate trained and likely started obedience and retriever training as well. The reasons we would be parting with these individuals vary from a wide variety of structural "not-quite-good-enough-to show/breed" reasons including: poor topline, over angulated rear, low tail set, ear set, etc. and are never personality/disposition flaws.

Very High High Moderate Below Average
