Pemberley Retrievers

Pemberley Retrievers is a small kennel located on a 30-acre farmette in NE Wisconsin. We train and breed Golden Retrievers that are a credit to the breed. As we are involved in search and rescue work with our dogs and also train for basic field work, our kennel's focus rests on field lines that produce dogs that excel in search and rescue work and field activities. Puppies from our first female are serving as search dogs overseas and here in the US. They are also used in hunting, field trialing, and agility and are also family pets.

We belong to the Golden Retriever Club of America and abide by its Code of Ethics. We also are members of the Northern Flyway Golden Retriever Club in Wisconsin. I am a life member of NASAR, have trained search dogs that have qualified as air scenting wilderness and cadaver search dogs. I've trained dogs in New York, Florida, and Wisconsin. Through Civil Air Patrol, I have been involved in search and rescue work since 1971.

Litters from Webshire's A Study in Saffron WCX JH (Clue)--a AFC AFTCH Rosehill's Mr Speaker MH OS CCA FDHF daughter--have produced pups that are competing in hunt tests, obedience, agility, and search and rescue work. The pups have all been excellent markers with notable drive. One pup earned his Seasoned (UKC) title at 18 months; his brother has qualified operational under national certifying organizations for several search disciplines. The pups receive stimulation from birth and play on obstacles as puppies. They end up fast, bold, intelligent, and eager to please.

All of this may sound like these are super working puppies and might not fit into a home looking for "just a pet." While many people think they may be looking for just a pet, what they want is a pet with a good health background, one for whom they do not have to be concerned about genetic health issues, especially if the family has young children. Puppy buyers also want a dog that has the temperament of the breed, otherwise they would be looking at a different breed, not the Golden Retriever. While it is impossible to guarantee that a puppy won't get ill in its lifetime, an examination of the pedigree should help a buyer recognize not only the health and longevity of the lines, but also what genetic material makes up the pup. Since the lines in our litters have a strong working background, the genes for a "need to be energetic" are present. That does not prevent a family looking for a pet from taking a closer look at pups that Pemberley Retrievers offers from time to time. While dogs in general tend to sleep most of the day, pups do tend to get cabin fever and will display unwanted behaviors such as inappropriate chewing if they do not get adequate exercise for both the body and the brain. The wise buyer recognizes that an active lifestyle rather than a sedentary lifestyle would be a better fit. If your family has an active lifestyle, then a Pemberley Retrievers pup should fit right in. Contact us if you have any questions.

We offer a 26-month health guarantee. Pups will have their dew claws removed, receive vaccinations and wormings, and be microchipped; they will be stimulated from birth and be socialized to a variety of people including children and the elderly plus other dogs, a cat, and such animals and experiences found on a small farm. We will introduce the pups to wings and birds and basic retrieving; pups go to their homes having been exposed to sleeping in separate crates; they will also wander around the fields and ponds on the property and play on a variety of surfaces with varying stability and in the "playgrounds" set up in the puppy areas both indoors and outdoors.
