Northern Lights Flat Coated Retrievers Northern Lights Flat Coated Retrievers is a breeder of quality, dual purpose flat-coated retrievers I also own a coffee company named Black Dog Coffee Traders.

Northern Lights Flat Coated Retrievers is a small breeder of this wonderful dual purpose breed. We are extremely passionate about this breed and producing sound, correct, dual-purpose dogs with wonderful flatcoat temperaments. We participate in all venues of competition dog sports from conformation (show ring), field work, agility, field, obedience, rally, tracking and dock diving. We do not breed

often but when we do (about once every two years) we do a significant amount of research into the health and temperament of the sire and dam being bred, as well as several generation back, including all of their ancestors offspring. We run several health tests including hips/elbows/patellas/cardiac/thyroid/CERF& Gonioscopy (eye exams). We will not breed any sire or dam without all of these clearances. We are very serious about not only bettering our own lines but our breed as a whole. I am personally involved in several boards to promote and better our breed including serving as president, vice president and board member over the years, of the Northwest Flat-Coated Retriever Club as well a co chairing National Specialties etc. This was named after my heart and soul dog, Mick (who was called "Black Dog"). We donate 5% of our profits to the AKC Canine Health Foundation for canine cancer research. We are very serious about making sure we match each puppy with the perfect home. If our job is done correctly each person will secretly know that they got the BEST puppy from the litter. If you fill out an application for a puppy there are no right or wrong answers, they just help us assess and match the right puppy with the right family. We are here for the life of the dog and always here to answer any questions you might have.

Huge congratulations to Team Windy (Andrew x Kindi Kane)!!! I'm so proud of this young little girl holding a spot in the top five and getting an invite to Westminster despite not being shown the past few months while she was field training.

I couldn't be more proud to not only have one flat coat in the top 5, but 2 (per Canine Chronicle, breed points)! Team Driller (Prince Charming x Kindi Kane) worked their butts off this year for rankings and finished in the number five spot but Westminster calculates the point slightly different than AKC. Kat is in a very tough area that rarely has much competition and still managed to hold on to that number 5 spot (breed points, Canine Chronicle). However, the way that Westminster calculates the points it put Driller in 6th by a difference of two or three points.

Huge congratulations to all five dogs that received an invite! They were all very deserving and I look forward to seeing them in the ring!

I could not be more excited for Team Windy Hill Flat-Coated Retrievers and the phenomenal job done by Angela Lloyd with Windy!

I couldn't be more proud of the phenomenal job done by Kat Wallis with Driller!

Depending on breeding plans at Northern Lights Flat Coated Retrievers , I hope to be sitting front and center and cheering for Driller and Windy!

Not to be out done by her son, Kindi Kane (Vegas x Zelda), won the Veterans Sporting Group, under Gloria Kerr! Beautifully presented by Sarah Moore. Kindi hasn't shown in over a year but no one told Kindi, nor did anyone tell her she was 8.5! She moved beautifully! Nailed her free stack! More importantly she had an absolute ball!! She loved the applause as always!

Kindi Kane - Veteran Group One
Dock diving - Best jump (w an atrophied foot from surgery and months of no running, swimming or jumping) 15ft 9 in.

DaVinci- first time dock diving, no practice (we forgot), 14 ft 6 in. He LOVES dock diving! I can't wait to see him progress!
-Best of Breed

Thank you so much Sarah for grooming them twice so my dad could see the dock diving (his first time at a dog show ever)!

Huge congratulations to Team Yaya (Sarah's boxer) on Veterans RBIS. Mac did a beautiful job with her! I'll let Sarah Moore share the additional huge accomplishments of Mac today!That girl was on fire! Vintage Boxers LLC

Well I almost went home w my busted foot & pain ,but I'm happy Randy and I stuck around. Team DaVinci (Prince Charming x Kindi Kane) won the sporting group today under John Cole.

Sarah Moore did a phenomenal job keeping Vinci engaged and having fun. Sarah and DaVinci have only been to 4 shows together and amassed 2 group 1s, 1 G3 and 1 G4. They instantly gelled as team and have a ton of fun together. I look forward to their future together.

Sarah works her @$$ off. She's never misses a beat and we have a ball. I can't thank her enough for taking a beautiful boy without any real experience as a special in a long time, and making him look his best. Cheers to G1 #3 w very limited showing! Thank you Sarah!

Thank you Tiffanie Coe for that 1st G1 last summer, you rock!
