Our goal is to produce a Labrador Retriever that above all else is of sound body and temperament, 
who can become your cherished family pet, and retrieve waterfowl or upland game for your table. 
To accomplish this we breed only sires and dams who have passed multiple 
genetic clearances, including orthopedic, heart, and eye clearances. 
We were very fortunate to co-own, with SureShot Labradors, a Labrador sire who was 
one of the top-producing Sires in the United States. His name, Int., Luxemburg, Netherlands, 
and Am. Ch. Raintree Slippery When Wet JH. "Brodie" was  the sire of 91 titled progeny, 
many with performance titles as well as conformation championships. We invite you visit 
our "boys" page to see other up and coming sires, all of whom will be busy 
proving themselves either in the show ring or field or hopefully both. 

Drycreek Labradors, established in 1983 with the purchase of our first purebred Labrador puppy, 
Sailin's Fleet Mckenna CDX, CD, WC "Mckenna" was the start of what led to a passion for breeding, training, 
and competing with our Labradors.  At the present we are located on 16 acres outside of Patterson, Ca. 
We hope to have a nice facility complete with training ponds and boarding kennels in the near future. 
Although Steve and I started out competing in AKC obedience and conformation shows, we were introduced 
to an organization called NAHRA, the North American Hunting Retriever Assoc. 
NAHRA and a man named Richard Walters, were the founders of the modern day "Hunt Tests". 
Richard's concept was quickly copied by the American Kennel Club. It is through NAHRA and AKC hunt tests that 
we strive to prove the natural instincts and trainability of our Labrador Retrievers. 
We also strive to produce Labradors that fit the standard of our breed, 
with soundness and temperament being paramount. Although not all of our dogs are conformation 
champions, most are either pointed at major Labrador Specialties or have 
received placements at specialties at "all breed shows"

     Steve and I have earned "Hunting Retriever titles" on the majority of the Labradors we have owned. 
At present we have three NAHRA Master Hunting Retrievers, one of which, is also an AKC Master Hunter. 
Three of our Labradors have also won our Club's coveted "Gun Dog Ch. title. 
 

All puppies produced here at Drycreek Labradors are very socialized to people, sights, and sounds. They are born here in our house where they remain for four weeks before going out to the " puppy area". All pups are introduced to dead/and live game birds at 5-7weeks of age. Puppies are de-wormed and vaccinated before going to their new homes at 7 weeks of age. Puppies all have written guarantees for Hip and elbow displysia, with 100% money back guarantees.
