Idlewild Retrievers
Goldens | Labradors | Golden Nursery | Labrador Nursery | Idlewild Health Guarantee

Welcome to the Idlewild Retrievers web page! A small hobby kennel in the heart of the South, we have been showing and breeding Labradors and Goldens for conformation, temperament and trainability for over 20 years. We exclusively breed Champion English lineage retrievers; strong bone, square heads, loving temperaments and biddable, trainable personalities comprise our socially conscious animal friendly program. More on our breeding philosophy at the bottom of this page!

Gold Dust and Ginger, "Ginger"

Ginger was our friend, as well as our pet! A Yellow Labrador Retriever out of Ch. Sunnybrook Acre Sir Lancelot and Cody's Annie Oakley, Ginger was our foundation bitch. Her elegant, regal bearing is greatly missed.

We know that the dogs at our home kennel are more fortunate than most! From early and often socialization, comprehensive vaccination/health standards, premium holistic meat based foods, and good old-fashioned attention and love, our animals are superlative representaives of their breed! Not only do we support planned genetic based breeding programs, we give money and support to educate prospective pet owners on good dog nutrition, fighting puppy mills and irresponsible backyard breeders, and being socially conscious pet owners! We also contribute financially to The Humane Society, Best Friends Animal Society (Dog Town), and The Animal Rescue Site.
We ask lots of questions before letting folks adopt one of our babies, but we think they are worth it!
Questions for us?? We encourage it!! As active members of AKC and GRCA, HSUS, and ASPCA, we abide by ethical breeder standards, and also follow the "How To Find a Good Dog Breeder" manual set forth by the Humane Society of the United States, which can be viewed online at www.hsus.org. We will have pictures of our new kennel facility and half acre play enclosure posted soon!!

We LOVE animals!! We believe that giving back to the community, and to animals that aren't as fortunate as ours is important. We support The Animal Rescue Site.
