Meet the breeder

I'm Duce W., the breeder behind Bourbon Country Retrievers located in Winchester, KY. In 2019 we established Bourbon Country Retrievers. “Where we don’t just breed dogs, we raise champions!” Our ultimate goal is to make sure our clients receive the highest quality Labrador Retrievers possible, while experiencing the best purchasing experience.

Q. & A. with Duce

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We bought our first dog and didn’t have a great experience. We looked to another breeder who turned a bad situation into a positive experience. We fell in love with the breed and thought it would be a great idea for other to experience the awesome breed.
  • What makes your program special?

    We like to say we will never be the largest breeder but it’s our goal to be the best.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
