Duck Fever Retrievers is a Central California Labrador Breeder.  We are located in Exeter, CA

Briggs is Great!  We just love him to pieces. He is sitting, staying and  walking on a leash beautifully. He is getting along with the older dog, Bear, and bringing some youth into the old guy (which we hoped would happen). We are enjoying him so much and he just keeps getting smarter, sweeter,  bigger and more beautiful.  He loves to crawl into our laps and just hang out

there, which of course melts both of our hearts.  He is just a loveable guy!

Having a good time here, learning a bunch of new stuff:

Don’t drink a lot of water JUST before going to bed.  OOPS! Running downhill you can go really really fast, but you have to stop BEFORE you hit the pond.

Ponds can be very cold.

When running really fast be sure to dodge stumps.

Stumps don’t move.

Stupid stumps.

That is not a nipple on Copper.

He can jump REALLY high.

Having a lot of fun and Gary takes me everywhere.

He says you did a REALLY good job of raising me to be a good girl. Having a good time here, Bye for now.

PS- Love you MOM!

So sorry it has taken me so long to write! Rebel is doing just great and is the love of our life! He is so gentle and sweet. He loves coming inside, and is convinced that he should be a house dog! He sleeps in our bedroom on a rug at night. I am so glad to hear that all is going well with you. Keep in touch!

Just a quick note to let you know how much we are all enjoying our growing chocolate lab puppy.  Sarah is now about 26 lbs, and is doing great.  She has a wonderful temperament and is smart and eager to please.  She is also a perfect companion for our Golden Dixie, the two of them are inseparable.  Attached is a fun photo of the two of them.

Thank you so much for allowing us to adopt Bailey . She is a perfect addition to our family.  She is highly intelligent and incredibly confident. She is learning commands quickly and is also such a loving, loyal companion. Although she is a member of our family and is a house dog, we are sure that she will make a fabulous huntress as well.  She adores water and loves her field walks. Thanks again.

Milo is fantastic!  He's getting as big a horse and eating like one too, and he looks just like his mother.  He and Clementine have really bonded and can't bear to be separated.  He has learned sit, stay, wait, down, fetch, and  is learning to walk nicely on a leash (well, sorta.  haha!).  We also taught him to ring a bell when he wants to go outside to potty, which sped up the potty training process considerably...he's so smart!  He has lost a handful of baby teeth, but really, isn't that much of a chewer (which is NICE!).  He's just such a sweet, affectionate well adjusted little dog, and I attribute that to him being raised in your home and being cuddled by your girls.

Thanks again!  We'll keep you updated on his progress.  :)

Charger is THE PRIZE. He is the most unbelievable dog I've ever had. At one year old he hunts like a pro. I wish to God I could take another dog right now. Your dogs are fantastic. We hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and thank you again for our wonderful dog.  the Daniels

She has made herself right at home -

SMART puppy!

Sadie is loving our pool. Today she went in four times. She loves being around lots of people and activities. Sadie is now a STAR puppy.

She is growing fast. Her bark is now deeper...no longer the high puppy bark. I am really amazed at how fast she is changing. She's gaining about two to three pounds a week. Everyone thinks she's so beautiful. She has a cute little prance like walk.

Sometimes she hops like a kangaroo.

Crate training has worked really well for us. Sadie has no issues with her crate. When she finds a shoe or something that she shouldn't have...she runs to her crate to enjoy her now toy. Sadie is a gentle dog and gives up the item she shouldn't have easily.

Here are a few pictures of Koozie.  Nick is taking her on her first hunting trip on Saturday and he wants to take pictures of her with her birds she retrieves, so we will send those after this weekend coming up.  Nick has been working with her on retrieving and she is doing awesome.  He also takes her on runs everyday to keep her in shape and she is doing great.  But, she really loves to sleep on our bed with us so she is a great family dog and it looks like she is going to be great at hunting too!
