Palmetto State Retrievers

Getting closer and closer on our tech pond. This will add so much value to our program!

Our team grew by one more on Monday. We are incredibly blessed and celebrating Gods goodness and grace.

We are also so thankful for amazing clients who jumped on the ball in helping us out at the kennel the past few days.

With that being said, all dogs in our gundog program will be getting an extra week added to their training as my wife and I adjust to the newborn being home the rest of the week.

Thank you to everyone who supports us, you have no idea what it means to our family.

This is Millie owned by Chris Ballatore. You can always tell when the owners have devoted a large amount of time and effort into their dog before they send it to you. She has been a rockstar!

Coco put in some work this morning!

We are so thankful for our clients and absolutely love seeing the next generation getting involved. Gauge will be a dog man for the rest of his life!

The dog’s name is twelve and he is in our gundog program. He has TONS of prey drive, is very excitable, and is eager to please. He is going to make a fine gundog.

Dreams becoming a reality here at PSR. Swim by and tech pond is on the way!

We added a new training tool for the Gun dogs. This “mini duck blind” will help expose the dogs to what it’s like to retrieve out of and return back into a duck blind, and help us simulate real word hunting scenarios.

Once our tech pond is dug we will be adding one to that as well. It’s always easier to teach something on land and then transition to water.

Comfortable and clean living conditions are just as important to a dogs training as the training itself.

These dogs are athletes and we ask much of them. It’s imperative that they have a place where they can rest and recover comfortably.

Delta, Jazz, and Coco, representing the greatest breed of dog on earth!

This is Luke, he was picked up yesterday by his owners. He was here for basic obedience and progressed quickly enough to also be conditioned to the E collar. He will be coming back to train and run in hunt tests this spring.

We have a few kennel spots available for training. Call or message today!

What a hunt! I’ve been waiting to kill a drake widgeon for a long time. For him to decoy into flooded timber made it even better.

To top it all off I had this special yellow dog and my little brother to share the memory with. This is what it’s all about!

11/19/2022

Great way to start the season!

This was Jazz’s first duck hunt. This is one fine animal. She hunted remote from a stand and was steady to the gun and quiet all morning. She marked 3 birds and ran blinds on the other three. 

Geneva Park Outfitters you have a rockstar in the making!!

We ran our last test of the fall this past weekend. It’s been a wonderful first four months in business accumulating 14/16 passes, and 2 new titles.

We can’t wait to see what the spring holds for us.

We have FOUR kennels on order, give us a call or message us to reserve your spot!

11/14/2022

Jetta and I ran our last test together Saturday at Middle Georgia Hunting Retriever Club. We ended our time together with another finished pass, leaving her just one pass shy of her title. She leaves the PSR crew to “retire” at a home in Alabama where she will pick up ducks across the country and love on a wonderful family. We passed 14/16 tests together.

11/11/2022

We are very excited to announce that we are now training full time!

We cannot thank those who trust us with their dogs enough. As well as our Lord Jesus Christ from whom all blessings flow.

We have 4 more kennels being built, make sure you reserve a spot before it fills up!

Thank you to all that helped put this test on. It was both fair and challenging. It was bittersweet for me as this will more than likely be Jetta and I’s last test together.

HR Pedal to the Metal Jetta SH went 1/1 in finished. This puts her at 5/7 in finished tests.

*NEW TITLE*

HR Sky Watchers Fowl Reaper

Jazz went 2/2 in started and then 3/3 in seasoned to earn her Hunter Retriever Title at 13 months. Owned by Geneva Park Outfitters.

The past few months have been nothing short of amazing. Some of these dogs have come a long way from when they first arrived at PSR.

I can not express my gratitude enough to all those that trust us with their dogs. We love you and them, like they are family.

We hope everyone has a blessed weekend, and we continue in prayer for the families that have been and will be affected by the hurricane.

09/29/2022

If anyone would like to come pick their dog up before the storm you are more than welcome to! We are making all necessary preparations to make sure they will be safe and comfortable.

Another fun weekend testing our dogs! Thank you Eastern Carolina HRC!

Wishing all those who go to work day in and day out to provide for their family a happy Labor Day weekend!

With dove season fast approaching, it’s IMPERATIVE you hunt your dog responsibly.

•Make sure you and your dog stay hydrated. Freeze some bottled water to keep a supply of fresh cold water.
•Find a good shade tree to sit under, not only for a good hunting spot, but it can be up to 20 degrees cooler in the shade than in the open sun.
•Dove feathers fall out very easily, make sure to keep your dogs mouth and airway clear of feathers.
•When a dog is hot, their sense of smell is hindered greatly. Combine that with dove not having much scent, if the dog needs help, don’t get frustrated and help him out as to not exude all his energy.
•Be on the look out for signs of heat exhaustion; deep heavy panting, white foam on the edges of their lips, panting with a bowl shaped flared tongue, lethargy, muscle control issues. ALWAYS stop the instant you see these signs or hopefully prior.

Happy International Dog Day!

We are excited to announce that Palmetto State Retrievers is now taking on dogs to train for the public. There are only 5 openings left!

There is always going to be a lot to learn and improve on in this business and PSR can not thank those enough who are taking, and have taken the time to teach and sharpen our skills!
