Puppies/Stud Dogs
Choosing the right puppy or stud dog for your female is a big decision and should not be taken lightly. Dynamic Retrievers does not engage directly in the breeding of dogs or gain monetarily from puppy sales, etc. We do help guide people in choosing an appropriate match for their needs and wants. Many of these puppies end up in our training program down the road. The result is that we get to train talented dogs, which makes our job a lot easier and more fun and rewarding for the trainer, owners, and of course the dog!
Having personally owned dogs with a variety of backgrounds and lineage, and having trained hundreds and hundreds or dogs with varied pedigrees, I will tell you that on average, the more well-bred a dog is, the better that dog will be. This includes temperament, natural talent, trainability, and health.
Before even looking at future breedings or considering which stud dog to use, one should first determine the most important traits that you want. Think about what you want in a dog or what you want to produce in your litter. One person may want to produce more laid back, casual hunting and house pets, while another person may want a dog to hunt with 60 days a year and run field trials in the off season. Generally speaking, we all want the same thing in our dogs. We want healthy and mentally stable dogs that are trainable and fun to be around. We differ in the things we want these dogs to do for us and personal preferences such as color, size, gender,and breed.
Being active in retriever competitions exposes us to a lot of different dogs, we get to know these dog’s characteristics and see those same characteristics in their offspring. Many dogs that we have trained and handled are also eventually bred and many of those offspring end up in our training program.
Give Tim or Lauren a call or email, and we will help point you in the right direction. You and your future dog(s) deserve the best shot at being a Perfect Match!
Started Dogs
Although we seldom have started dogs for sale, we often know of a few that are and can help you in finding a good match. Started dogs are one of the best values in the dog world. You can see the realized talent, abilities, and looks of a dog versus the hypothetical potential that a puppy has.

Puppy socialization is available at Dynamic Retrievers. We can only take one puppy between the age of 7 weeks to 5 months old for socialization. Puppy will live inside, taken into the community for social outings, socialized to the training environment and trailer, introduced to birds, fun retrieves, fun obedience games, and thinking games meant to take advantage and optimize this vital time of brain development. Puppy training most closely follows Bill Hillmann’s philosophy of encouraging “balance” from the beginning. We absolutely recommend the Hillmann puppy training DVD for those working with their own pup. Go to
