Welcome to
Retriever Run

At Retriever Run Kennel, we believe every dog deserves a training program tailored to their unique needs and abilities. Unlike rigid training regimes that force dogs to conform, our philosophy centers on adapting our methods to fit each dog. Our mission is to expertly guide field trial retrievers through every stage of their career, ensuring they reach their full potential.

With over 36 years of experience, Mark brings a wealth of knowledge and skill to the training process. His talent for guiding dogs from puppyhood to becoming a finished, all-age competitors is unmatched. Trish, his partner in life and training, shares his passion. Together, they have built a life around dogs, moving between their two home bases in Maine and Mississippi.

Mark and Trish are dedicated to breeding quality Field and Show bred Labradors born to excel. They understand that every person and family has a unique vision of their perfect Labrador. Whether you’re looking for a loyal companion to share the couch and go for walks, a fierce competitor aiming to finish a National field trial, a well-trained hunting partner, or a contender in conformation events, Retriever Run Kennel has the right dog for you.

Labradors are known for their versatility, and at Retriever Run Kennel, we take pride in our breeding pairings that produce dogs capable of meeting diverse needs. Our goal is to breed Labradors that are physically robust and mentally equipped to perform at their best, no matter the task. Join us and find the Labrador that fits your vision perfectly.

We invite you to join the Retriever Run family and experience the difference personalized expert training can make for your retriever. Whether you’re looking to train a young pup or refine the skills of a seasoned competitor, we have the knowledge and passion to help your dog succeed.
