Frontier Retrievers
Established in 1986 for the purpose of raising sound Labrador Retrievers and Boykin Spaniels for hunting, field trials, and hunt tests. Our focus currently is on our Boykin Spaniel breeding program. No longer breeding Labrador Retrievers.
The objective of our Labrador Retriever and Boykin Spaniel breeding program stresses physical and mental soundness as well as a high degree of trainability. All breeding stock is free of Hip Dysplasia and Eye Abnormalities. Our Labrador Retriever females are bred to the finest Field Champion (FC), Amateur Field Champion (AFC), or Master Hunter (MH)/Hunting Retriever Champion (HRCH) sires in the country. We transport them Nationwide for Appropriate Breedings or use Frozen surgical/transcervical Inseminations.
Puppies are carefully raised in the home environment, socialized, and handled daily for maximum potential. Puppies are introduced to crates, started retrieving bumpers and birds, and water introduction if weather permits. Puppies have dew claws removed, vaccinations appropriate for age, an ACVO eye exam, vet-checked, and microchipped.
Puppy Prices range from $1800 to $2000. Our price reflects the quality of our breedings and the commitment we have to the breeds in terms of time and resources. Frontier Retrievers updates health clearances on breeding parents and peforms DNA testing for genetic diseases identified in breed Code of Ethics. In addition, since 1986, Frontier has always satisfied Canine Health Information Center (CHIC) screening recommendations. Frontier also provides support to Frontier puppy owners.
If the pedigree and calibre of the parents meets the high standard of our breeding criteria, Frontier may prudently breed a DNA tested carrier to a DNA-tested "clear" dog. No offspring from that breeding will be "affected". The development of genetic testing has helped the owner's ability to DNA test their dogs and make responsible breeding decisions while maintaining genetic diversity in the Boykin Spaniel breed which has a smaller genepool in comparison to other sporting breeds like the Labrador Retriever.
