Wild Games Labradors

Wild Games Labradors Hunting, service and companion dogs. Our dogs are high energy in the field with that classic, Labrador "off" switch that make well-mannered house pets too.

All of our dogs are AKC/UKC Purebred Labrador Retrievers with pointing bloodlines. They are all OFA Certified (Hips/Elbows), Exercise Induced Collapse (EIC) Clear and CERF (eyes) Clear. We strive to produce the healthiest possible pups that will be structurally able to endure the rigors of the hunt that they love so much so that your family can enjoy many years of companionship and excitement with

your dog. We have a litter only about once a year, so call or message us if you're looking or just "like" our page to get future litter announcements. If you would like to reserve a pup, you may send us a $600.00 deposit and you will be able to pick in the order your deposit was received.

The bond these dogs form is incredible. Their work ethic, loyalty, excitement and love for their partners can be exemplified in any sport, service work, or just as a household pet, but the way they figure out how to accomplish the goal of harvesting game always amazes me.

People ask "How did you train that dog to retrieve, listen, point, hunt, etc., etc." The fact is, I spend time with them, reward them for doing what's right and scold them for doing what's wrong, and always do it immediately and consistently. The hunting Labrador's instincts are honed by practicing their craft. The more time they get in the field, the more they learn and the better they get at finding game in whatever manner you may be trying to harvest it.

I have had some of my dogs professionally trained by some excellent trainers, but even then, we have to spend time with each other to learn to communicate and bond with each other. There is no substitute for time and a relationship with your dog to build that teamwork. They will strive to accomplish whatever goal you, and they, determine. They are not a tool, but a living, breathing, partner who wants to be successful with you and for you. Hopefully, we strive to do the same for them.

Not all dogs are capable of this level of intelligence and teamwork, but the Labrador is the epitome of the working partner. I can't imagine life without the blessing of my friend, the Labrador Retriever.

Today was just Howdy's second time to work upland. Her first time was last year, but she just stayed on heel to learn to be steady and work on her obedience.

About an hour into the hunt, she started quartering once she figured out that if she found them, I would shoot them. It's always fun to see these young dogs work things out in the field. They want to hunt, we just have to let them! This is why their obedience training is so important their first year. As long as you can communicate with your dog and they respond properly, you can put them into position to succeed. She did great and we found a lot of birds for about 40 guys to get nearly a limit this morning. I only sent he to retrieve 5 of them because there were other dogs on the hunt and I need to keep her under control. She broke a couple of times, but she corrected herself once she heard me tell her know. That's ok. I'll take it! Love this girl and she lives to hunt!

She ain't got time for a selfie!  She's all business on the pheasant!

We would love to save more dogs but we need your help! We really need more fosters! We get tagged/emailed/called/texts for dozens of dogs that need a rescue daily. We are full.... beyond full, actually. With your help, we can say yes!

Fosters provide a temporary home allowing the dog to learn about living in a home. We cover all the medical expenses and will loan you a crate (if needed) while you cover food, treats, toys, etc. Ideally you will foster the dog until they are adopted but we also need short term fosters.

Fostering:
*Creates Life Saving Shelter Space
*Improves the dogs health both mental and physical
*Socializes the dog with both people and any resident pets
*Increases chances for adoption
*Reduces the likelihood of being returned

Interested in fostering or learning more? Respond to this post with questions or email [email protected]. Ready to foster? Submit a volunteer application at www.hotlabrescue.com.

Yes!
