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

It's so hard to believe that Murphy (AKA Graham) is already 7 months old! Time flies as they say. He is getting so big (65 lbs!) and is VERY handsome. We are constantly getting stopped and told what a beautiful dog he is. I agree 100%, but then I'm also a little biased : ) He's a very mellow dog and everyone also comments on how calm he is for a lab puppy. We consider ourselves lucky that we found such a great dog! He has a bit of a sensitive stomach, but that doesn't hamper his appetite one bit. I think eating is his favorite activity! I've attached a few updated photos for you. We think he looks a lot like his mom.

Buster (AKA Cowboy) is a beautiful dog and very loved.

Thank you!

I am sending some pictures of Gracie Mae (Sugar) and Peanut. As you can see they are being mistreated. When we got them home Gracie was dominating Peanut for the first week or so. Peanut has come out of her shell and is more than holding her own. Gracie is somewhat of a worry wart. She is very focused on what peanut is doing or what we are doing. Peanut is the hunting dog. She is driven to win and will chase and retrieve till she drops. Anyway hope all is well, thanks for giving us these two great dogs.

Meet Coleman!!

He has adjusted to life in Alaska well. I'm sure I will be getting a couple more puppies from you in the future :)

Hey Barbara,

Thought you might like to see a current picture of Ruby (AKA Fortune). She’s doing great and is quite the smart little girl.

Thanks for such a great dog,

Hi Barbie,

It’s hard to believe so many months have passed since we got Angel. I just wanted to send you a quick email to let you know that she is doing wonderful!! She is definitely enjoying her retirement!! I think her favorite spot is with us on the couch or the bed! She is such a loving,wonderful dog!! We are so very happy to have her in our life! She helps keep our other two older labs on their toes too. The kids have actually renamed her to Charlie (Charlie’s Angel). They liked the idea of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, since she’s a chocolate lab.

I attached a couple pictures of her… life sure is rough in retirement! :):):)

Anyway, thank you so much for allowing us adopt her. She is such a joy and we love her dearly!!!!

Just thought we would send you guys an update.

Ivy (AKA Par) is doing great! Her grown up teeth are in, she is still FULL of energy and desire! I have started very light retrieving training and just continuing on the obedience. She is a RUNNER!!! I took her out mid October with my Dog to a little flooded pond I use for training and threw some bumpers for her. The water is only about a 1 ½’ at the deepest. It was her first time in water and she LOVED it! By the 2nd bumper she was tearing off into the water and bringing the bumper back to me! I took her out again yesterday and she is bold, fast, smart and strong! She brought back a full sized Mallard dead fowl trainer from the water, about a 50 yard retrieve! Her desire is really top notch! We absolutely love her and she is doing great in her ‘new’ family! I will take some updated pics soon and I am hoping to get my wife out to the pond to get some video of her charging into the water, its pretty awesome to see! Happy Holidays!

Here are a few pictures of Turbo. He is getting really big these days. Exactly at 6 months old Turbo was measured at 22 3/4 in from the shoulder and weighs 54lbs. He is so handsome as you can see on the pictures. Turbo is so easy to train.

He learns and catches on to everything that I teach so fast. He is by far the easiest dog that I ever had to train. He is very laid back and calm when inside the house but very aggressive and energetic in the field. I took him pheasant hunting at 5 1/2 month old. He was always running, jumping, and looking for something. He was not even scared of any of the loud shotgun noises all around us. Overall an excellent house and hunting companion.

Finally I would like to thank Barbie and her family for taking care of turbo for an extra month due to my school and training. I highly recommend anyone who is looking for a lab, look to duckfeverretrievers. As a matter of fact, I just purchased a second lab from them.

Thank You Hmoob Cha

Just thought I would send you a picture or two of Ruger, he graduated gun dog training with his diploma and has already started on his advanced degree !! I took him out for the first time yesterday, and while we didn't get any ducks, Ruger did absolutely awesome.

He really is exactly what we had planned for - a great pet when at home, and a great hunting partner when in the field.

Have a great holiday season.

Hey there!

I just wanted to give you an update on Nyke (AKA Eagle). Attached are some recent photos. He weighs 29 pounds as of the last vet appointment on Monday the 4th. He stands about 17 inches at the withers already(Jasper is 22.5) He is such a sweetie and is best buddies with Jasper. Bandit is warming up to him but he's 11 so I don't push that issue.

We were at a dog show this weekend and he played so hard with another puppy he was crashed in the crate along with jasper. I thought it was so cute.

He sits, downs and shakes on command. I am teaching him to roll over.
