When Gus wandered up into my garage last April half starving,

He had no idea how his life was about to change.

The Bryant family of Birmingham took him in and we told them we would obedience train him at no charge. We were just happy he found a home. They fell in love with him immediately.

When I found him he had just eaten a whole turkey wing feathers and all but mostly feathers.

We Nick Named him TW for turkey wing!

Fast forward 6 months and he just completed his formal obedience training and his headed back home a happy camper.

Thank you to the Bryant Family for changing his life for the better.

Congratulations to Phillip Rogers and HRCH SLK’s Hello Dolly for passing the HRC Grand!

We are so proud of both of them.

Dolly is one of the SLK Dams that is co owned by the Rogers Family of Memphis TN

The Grand is arguably the toughest hunt test to complete and Dolly went through it almost perfectly.

Rest in Peace - Levengyls Voice in the Wilderness “ PREACHER”

Of all the dogs I’ve known very few have had the passion for the hunt like Preacher. He became a legend with his best friend Brennan Hudson and together they made history.

To be a Waterfowl Guide you need a burn way down deep inside you. To be a true Guides Dog you need that burn as well and in Preacher there was a bond fire.

Few men and even fewer dogs will ever see what Preacher saw….Hundreds of thousands of birds floating across the Canadian and Oklahoma prairies and hundreds of sunrise and sunsets in lost and far away places.

In his lifetime he easily picked up ten thousand plus birds.

He was what most of us dream of in a Duck Dog.
Beautiful and kind and loving, yet fierce to in the heat of battle.

He was born and raised at SLK and from the beginning we knew he was special. But by his third birthday we had met Brennan and from that point on it was a match made in heaven for both of them.

He will be talked about around cabins and camp fires for many years and his sons and daughters continue to carry on his legacy.

Preacher Man ….We will see you in far away sunsets chasing those big ole geese across the sky. Until we meet again.

‼️🐶 BREEDING ANNOUNCEMENT 🐶‼️

CRICKET X ALFIE
___

Cricket is out of our Henry and Swift. She has a small frame and build at 45-50 pounds and is very fast! She is always sitting on “go!” but is very steady when working in the field. She is quick to learn and does what she needs to do to get the job done.
�In the home she relaxes and settles in with the family. She is the most affectionate dog.
�Cricket is owned and loved by The Barrett family.
___

We imported Alfie in early 2024. We were immediately smitten with him. He is the full package. We love his demeanor. He has excellent drive in the field and handles beautifully. Alfie is a very happy dog and loves to work. Physically is is very impressive with broad shoulders and is very muscular. He has a wonderful off switch, and we feel fortunate to have him in our breeding lineup.

Our Story

Sporting Life Kennels all started with owner, Marty Roberts’ passion to raise and train gun dogs. When Marty was 17 years old, his parents gave him his first hunting dog, Jimbob. That first puppy began a passion to raise and train hunting puppies and dogs for people all over the world through our trained British Labrador Retrievers and Puppies, retriever training, obedience, and upland programs. Sporting Life Kennels is located on a 42-acre farm in Oxford, MS with three training lakes, two large hay fields and training woods.

At sporting life our saying is: "Every waterfowl hunter has known a great retriever and every great retriever has a story." Through our TV show you can follow the stories of some great retrievers and the relationship they have with their owners - touching stories, action, as well as retriever training segments - come and join our family and share the deep love we have for our dogs as we live "The Sporting Life."
