We breed dogs for show, obedience, gun dogs and companions. Our
Flat-Coated Retrievers have outstanding temperaments, intelligence,
conformation, soundness and field instinct. They have been
successful in the field and winning in the conformation and obedience
rings for many years. They are also responsive and devoted
companions. We hunt with our dogs! We have been raising, showing,
and training dogs since 1980 - first with English Setters and then with
Flat-Coated Retrievers.
Health, temperament and longevity are of vital importance to me. Because I enjoy showing and hunting my dogs, structure also becomes a very important part of my breeding program. Hours are spent researching the pedigrees of potential sires. It is of the essence, that the sire and dam line and their ancestors be as free as possible of genetically linked disease; the lines have proven longevity, and that they possess the wonderful Flat Coat temperament.
All puppies are raised in the house, with lots of attention. When the time is right, we venture outside to discover the great outdoors. Fields, water, and birds await each puppy. The litter experiences a variety of stimulus, ranging from obstacle courses, tactile surfaces, strangers of all ages including children, and dogs. Each puppy will go home with a written health guarantee after being vaccinated, microchipped, and examined by a veterinarian.
If you are interested in a Krieger’s Ridge puppy, I would encourage you to fill out the Krieger’s Ridge Puppy Questionnaire and call 262-334-5165 or schedule a visit, so we can meet and discuss your needs.
