Wildrose Kennels - Midwest

Wildrose Kennels - Midwest is a branch of Wildrose Kennels - the nation's finest and most selective breeders and trainers of British Labradors.

Wildrose Kennels - Midwest is a branch of the nation's oldest and most selective breeder & trainer of British Labradors. Our dogs are bred to have the unique characteristics of a true Gentleman's Gun Dog - very steady and obedient in the house and driven and focused in the field. The skills that we teach our dogs make them equally as capable at kayaking and mountain biking with you as they do exc

eptional hunting dogs. What makes Wildrose Unique?

1. OUR DOGS - Wildrose very carefully selects the breeding for all of our dogs to ensure finest Gentleman's gun dog. We begin the process of finding you the right dog by understanding your lifestyle and expectations. From there we select a breeding that is most likely to deliver the type of puppy you are looking for. Whether it be superior game finding capabilities, or a diabetic alert dog, our breeding stock is sure to have something that fits your needs.

2. OUR TRAINING - At Wildrose Kennels, we believe in 100% positive training. Starting the day the puppies are brought home, we are entrenching behaviors and trust that results in your dog wanting to perform, not because they "have to", but because they want to please you. There is no stronger drive or reward than this relationship between dog and owner. We offer 4 different, in-house, training programs; backgrounding and puppy to training, basic gundog training, finished gun dog training, and adventure dog training.

3. OUR PEOPLE - At Wildrose Midwest, we are fortunate to have some of Wildrose Kennel's most respected Associate Trainers. Our trainers are actively training dogs in all stages - puppies, started dogs and finished dogs. Our trainers also help staff our workshops where you can come and learn how to apply the Wildrose Way to your own training.

4. THE WILDROSE FAMILY - Your experience with Wildrose does not end the day that you pick up your puppy - quite the contrary, it is just beginning. We believe in open training and share all of our training methodologies with our clients. We also provide many different on-line resources for you to learn from. However, the best part is when our Wildrose family gets together for training events, workshops and trips. Client relationships are something that we treasure and work hard to maintain.

Oh, the weather outside is frightful …..
But inside, the Christmas-themed kennel decorations are delightful. Stay tuned to see who has been naughty and who has been nice!

As Wildrose Midwest braces ourselves for cold weather, we are also blessed with clear skies and winter sunsets. Although we need to change our outdoor gear, our training routines carry on!

Great day at Starting Your Dog The Wildorse Way. Minnesota, Illinois and the north woods of Wisconsin were well represented, as well as two local clients. Handlers learned a lot about the importance of being a Pack Leader, how to read your dog, and the basics of retrieving. By the end of the afternoon the dogs were exhausted - more mentally than physically - proving you don’t have to throw endless retrieves to have a dog burn energy. Fun being together with all of you and seeing your progress.

The Cato boards and handler pegs are all set up for tomorrow’s Starting Your Dog The Wildrose Way workshop. We have a full house joining Wildrose Teagen tomorrow.

Great weather. Great Dogs. Great fun.

When the Earth Roamer pulls in, you better bring your A-game. Many thanks to Mike and Cathy Stewart for spending a week with the Wildrose Midwest team and helping us fine-tune our training skills.

Training the Wildrose Way is a time-proven and very disciplined method of progressive training. Each time I go through this, I learn something new. My team was very appreciative for learning from the man who wrote the book - literally!

It is with a huge hole in my heart that I share this post. This weekend, I made the decision to put down my personal dog WR Beau. His struggles with laryngeal paralysis were just too much and now he is no longer suffering.

To those who know me, Beau was my go everywhere companion. He and I traveled over 100,000 miles together. Wherever I went, Beau went. Beau was welcomed by all given his calm demeanor and being a true Gentleman's Gun Dog.

For those who have hunted with me, you were able to see first hand Beau's mastery for remote handling and game recovery. I never kept track of how many birds we shot, but I sure kept track of his memorable retrieves and fortunately I have a lot of them to provide some comfort in times of sorrow.

This weekend, we ran our Duck Camp Workshop down at Max McGraw. Beau was already struggling with his breathing and the vet said to keep him very calm and sedate. I couldn't leave him in the truck by himself so he spent the day peacefully walking the course with me. Although he did not do any retrieves his tail was wagging with approval of the drills we set up. The next day at lunch, our photographer, Jake Birrenkot, was taking portraits of all of the handler’s dogs. When he was done he encouraged me to bring Beau over for a picture. While I have tons of pictures of Beau, this one will always be very special for me.

Beau was more than just a personal dog, he was the beginning of Wildrose Midwest. He entertained clients and was an incredible demo dog to show what a true Gentleman’s Gun Dog is. He will be missed up at the kennel and by his home companion, Wildrose Duke.

In these very difficult days, I ask, is the pain of losing a dog really worth it? I know my answer tomorrow will be yes. I hope tomorrow comes soon.

Many have seen the story of the Rainbow Bridge. I took this picture at our kennel of the largest, most complete rainbow I have ever seen. I guess that was a sign of things to come.

The Wildrose Cup is over and it’s time to switch gears by supporting Howard’s Grove High School cross country team and their homecoming float. Being 1/4 mile away from the high school with a 12 foot door made for a perfect partnership.

Duke and Beau think it looks great and wish you a happy and safe homecoming weekend.

Our sweet River is heading home to Mississippi for the hunting season. On her way out to the tarmac, she looked at her owner and asked; “why did Al always drive down to Mississippi when this is so much faster “? Wildrose River traveling in style!

What a fantastic weekend for the attendees of the 2024 Wildrose Cup. The only thing hotter than the weather was the dog competition! Our handlers and dogs competed hard, but in Wildrose fashion were rooting for each other’s success the whole weekend. This one-of-a-kind British field Trial challenged the dogs on land, on water, in deep cattail swamps and flooded timber. Our Wildrose Cup also involves a shooting completion for the Top Gun Award and relaxing evenings with live entertainment.

Congratulations to this year’s winners:
Top Gun - Mike Connor
Gunner’s Choice - Mike Connor and Raven
Wildrose Cup - Bruce Broquet and Prince

We Hope to see you all back in 2025 and some new faces as well.

Watch the upcoming calendar for the specific dates in Mid September.

Kylar Kuzio treated this year's Wildrose Cup attendees to a great live concert on Saturday night. Great original music and engaging with the group. Can't wait to have her come back again next year. In the meantime, check out her work at kylarkuzio.com.

The calm before the “storm”. Welcome to the Wildrose Cup!

09/12/2024

At Wildrose Kennels, we try and treat our guests to the finest training environment. This year, our two major training projects were an agility set up in the training yard and a bridge allowing trainers to stay dry while circling the training pond. Both will get a good workout during this weekend’s Wildrose Cup.

Putting the finishing touches on this year’s Wildrose Cup. Participants are driving and flying in from all over the country. The welcoming committee also arrived today! The Wildrose Cup is a live bird, British style trial with both upland and waterfowl challenges.

Stay tuned for lots of great pictures from the Cup. While everyone brings their “A game” the camaraderie and sportsmanship between participants is even more impressive.

In New Jersey, there stands a statue commemorating the hard work and loyalty shown by the canines that supported first responders in finding victims of the September 11 attack.

Service animals come in all forms and serve a variety of duties. All which we admire and respect.

Never forget.

Another great puppy picking day at Wildrose Midwest! We had four litters of pups represented. Happy customers spanning the US from Montana to Connecticut.

It’s great when puppy picking is a family affair. The challenge is when you hang the pin map too high for the kids. A proud dad lifts his son to commemorate their hometown on our map.
