Meet the breeder
I'm Mark B., the breeder behind Muck Madness Retrievers located in Bridgeport, NY. Whether it's on the sofa or in the swamp, we breed and train our Labrador Retrievers for temperament and hunting drive. We enjoy them as family members and if in the swamp, to be great hunting companions. We are so proud of the dogs we produce and are honored to connect you with your Labrador puppy.
Q. & A. with Mark
Why did you start breeding?
We have been involved with sporting dog breeds for over 35 years. We trained Beagles for hunting and AKC field trials until our 3 children took over our priorities. As they grew up and moved on, we gravitated towards Retrievers for their temperament and intelligence. We fell in love with the breed and had to share them with others.What makes your program special?
We strive to be good trainers and responsible breeders so the Labs we produce are healthy, enjoy what they are doing, and are capable to do it well!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
