meet the retrievers
The foundation of Patton Retrievers is the natural
expression of talent and ability that exists in each fine field companion. Our
retrievers sport titles that include Amateur Field Champion (AFC), Grand Hunting
Retriever Champion (GRHRCH), Qualified All Age (QAA), Master Hunters (MH), and Upland Hunters (UH) - the list is endless and ever
progressing.
We support them with opportunities and the training resources needed to help
them progress to the next step - whatever field or venue that might take them
to. Our dogs are members of our family; they are loved and loyal companions at home and in
the hunting field.

Maggie is owned and handled by Chelsi. In April, 2008, the two passed
the HRC Spring International Grand Hunt Test. At the event, Chelsi
become the youngest female to ever pass a Grand Hunt. Maggie has worked
alongside Chelsi to find success in several levels of the Hunting
Retriever Club. The two are very active participants in the regular
venues and the youth specialty programs. The team will be pursuing their
second pass they need to attain Maggie's GRHRCH title and participating
in other retriever venues, such as the Super Retriever Series.
A true pleasure to watch at work and play, Maggie brings unbridled talent and instinctual ability to the team. A strong marking dog that also handles well. Her enjoyment of the games is evident in her work ethic and wag of her tail.
