Can’t thank my dad enough for going out to Montana and bringing back the new topper! Can’t wait to fill it with dogs and head to Florida this winter to get a jump start on training!

He made it back just in time for MPR HRCH “Goose” to win the Rapid Chukar Challenge over at Rapid Wings Farm!

As You Wish...

Welcome to the As You Wish Retrievers Page! We are a family-owned kennel located in lower Michigan. Our family has raised many waterfowl and upland retrievers that love what they do. As we became “empty-nesters” we decided it was time to get back into the fun and games associated with owning a retriever and got our first pointing lab. We currently have two female pointing labs in our kennel both currently running in APLA, AKC, and HRC hunt tests.

The name “As You Wish Retrievers” comes from a family favorite movie, The Princess Bride. One of the many famous quotes from the movie is “As you wish” that the main character Westley says to the Princess whenever she asks him to do a task. We believe that retrievers take that quote to heart in everything they do, from retrieving ducks on cold winter days to running through thick cattails chasing a rooster.
