Burks Retrievers
Meet the breeder
I'm Will B., the breeder behind Burks Retrievers located in Boise, ID. I’ve spent my life with Labrador retrievers and am active in AKC and UKC retriever training clubs. My dogs are the product of good pedigrees and training. These beautiful puppies are loaded with natural ability.
Q. & A. with Will
What makes your program special?
After a lot of research I found the pedigrees I liked. I enlisted the help and knowledge of rusted professional trainers and lucked out with two phenomenal dogs. The pups from this litter will go to homes that appreciate what they’re getting— smart, healthy, trainable, and good looking labs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, chocolate, and yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
