Patton Retrievers is a family of dedicated enthusiasts to the retriever sporting world. Our dogs and people work together with a network of experts and peers to become better retrievers, handlers, and return these skills to the arenas of hunting and retrieving sports. This has led us to some the most fulfilling "work" we've ever done and we get to share and appreciate the step-by-step we take with each of our dogs. There's nothing that compares to standing "at the line" with a fine, well tuned retriever.

We promote improvement and progression of the labrador retriever breed by applying the highest breeding standards and providing our dogs with an enriched working environment. This is the equation of success that leads to a better retriever "tomorrow".

 Congratulations to Chelsi and her dog, Maggie, for passing the Spring, 2008 Grand! Chelsi became the youngest female handler in all of HRC history to pass a Grand (aged 12). She and Maggie were highlighted on the cover of the June/July 2008 Hunting Retriever Magazine.

Chelsi and Maggie have also recently participated in the Super Retriever Series Amateur and other venue challenges. The pair enjoys actively participating in the HRC Youth Program. In October, 2008, Chelsi and Maggie will again step up to the line at the Grand in hopes of their second pass and Maggie's Grand Hunting Retriever Champion (GRHRCH) title.
