Mission Ready Retrievers, Ltd. Our passion is helping others through top quality service, therapy, or companion retrievers. There has never been a shortage of animals in my life. years!

I fostered my love for working with animals early on as a “puppy raiser” for Leader Dogs for the Blind in Rochester, Michigan. But, my passion for animals doesn’t just include dogs. Horses have been a part of my life since childhood. I currently share my home, life, and bank account with 2 pups, Stryker and Lucy, along with my horse, Calvin. I’ve also had over 25 foster dogs of all ages since the

fall of 2021. I decided to formally start my dog training endeavors after my Golden Retriever, Lucy (who suffers from too much joy) and I, began exploring the world of Nose Work! Professionally working with dogs has always been a dream, and after serving the US Army and establishing my career as a high school math teacher I am finally able to turn that dream into a reality. I am a graduate of the CATCH Canine Trainers Academy and achieved my Certified Professional Dog Trainer-Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA) certification in 2022. Being a veteran myself, who knows the healing power of animals, my ultimate goal is to help other veterans benefit from therapy and service dogs. On my journey to this goal, I noticed a great need for healthy, well-bred dogs that have gone through the proper health and temperament testing and have been worked with since birth in a way to give them the best chance of successfully becoming service or therapy dogs. Many veterans sit on waiting lists to receive a service dog for years…. I quickly learned that training service dogs wouldn’t be enough and we also needed to contribute to the working dog candidates. That need brought us to where we are now, expecting our first litter the week of November 8th. I’m looking forward to sharing all aspects of our journey. Stay tuned!

If you’re new here, a local company did a p**s poor job on my fence. The BBB sided with them (even though the company offered zero evidence and LIED while I provided info from a 3rd party detailing the issues, pictures, details, etc.) - fun fact, did you know the companies PAY the Better Business Bureau for their rating/membership? Seriously… the BBB is a joke.

Anyway… my fence is also a joke and Echo Pants has discovered how to break through it (not under, not over, but through). Since I don’t have $20k to rip it out and do it the right way, I had to look for alternatives. That’s where Tractive comes in. It’s affordable, accurate, and easy to use. And while it doesn’t solve the $17k issue of a horrible fence, it gives me peace of mind that I’ll be able to find him quickly when he leaves. AIRTAGS ARE NOT AS HELPFUL AS YOU THINK - they need to be within so many feet of an iPhone to ping a location. They do not transmit continuously. The Tractive GPS uses cell towers and doesn’t need to be near a human and their iPhone to ping.

Stopped by Lake Humane Society to help and visit. Of course we had to visit with the sweet boy in Bailey’s kennel. His name is Baloo. He’s an estimated to be 1 year old and some sort of Shepherd/Nordic Mix. In true Shepherd form, he’s needs a minute to warm up but then is playful and excitable. Let’s get this boy a home ❤️

HUGE thank you to Animal Clinic of Chardon for making time for Teller’s laser therapy twice this week! We aren’t quite sure what he clunked his he’s on, but he had a beautiful goose egg. It was also super cool to see everything under the microscope and have Dr. Tom explain the science behind what was happening.
Thank you again for helping get our big boy ready to show in The Butler Co Kennel Club’s show this weekend!

It’s been the summer of trying “all things dog!” RidgeView’s Wintergreen broke us into the world of Fast CAT this past weekend. We knew she was fast, but Wowza! Once she spotted me down the lane, she turned into a rocket. I am blown away with Winter’s perfect balance of “drive” with an off-switch. This girl really has it all. Brains, beauty, and character. #RidgeviewLabradors #FastCAT #AKC #DogSports

Teller takes on Puppy Yoga! Not only was it a great opportunity for him to see the world, but it also benefited one of our favorite rescues, One at a Time K-9 Rescue
