WHY BRITISH LABS
We just love them. In England and Ireland, hunting and retrievers are a bigger business than here in the U.S. They have large wing shoot's and a retriever may pick up several hundred birds in one day. These dogs remain calm and are rock solid every time. How do they achieve this? They use a training method that are time tested, true, and by using a common sense training program. Obedience, obedience, obedience, is number 1, and their dogs may not pick a bird up for his first 2 years. They teach their dogs not to retrieve until sent.
