Patriot Labrador Retrievers

Rose has a ‘happy go lucky’ kind of personality. She is calm, yet inquisitive and gentle by nature. She adores her humans and loves to be snuggled. She enjoys being around other dogs, big or small, yet she is content playing by herself as well. She enjoys retrieving & scent games; however, I would consider her to be of low-moderate drive. Rose is so calm in the house we often times forget she is even around as she is so mild mannered and quiet. She generally just rolls with the flow and sees life through her “Rose colored glasses”. 😉 Rose spent most of her early years as an outdoor kennel dog and from what we know, received little to no training. Rose joined our family in August 2021, at 26 months of age. At that time, the only thing she knew was her name. After settling into her new surroundings, it was obvious to us how much potential Rose had. Her eagerness and willingness to learn has made training a breeze. Rose is 53 pounds and absolutely gorgeous. She has a nice blocky head, nice chest, and athletic body. Her build is typical of a lab from the 1950's era. Rose has earned the AKC Canine Good Citizen, Trick Dog, Virtual Home Manners & Scent Work titles.

“Grace” is about as smart as they come. She is full speed ahead when outdoors with a never give up attitude. She will retrieve about anything you ask of her. She initially started her career as a Service Dog, and although successful, we felt she was better suited as a scent detection dog. I imagine Grace would tell you her favorite thing to do is to use her nose. Her ability to track is amazing and she has recovered several deer that would not have been found otherwise. During the off season, Grace enjoys searching for sheds, scent games, swimming, playing with cats, lounging on the couch with her humans, and watching squirrels and birds out the window. Grace averages 50 pounds and is absolutely stunning. She has the desired ‘off’ switch that is so sought after in a Labrador. She has an incredible will to please which has made her training very enjoyable. Grace has earned the AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC), CGC Advanced, CGC Urban, Trick Dog Novice & Intermediate, Virtual Home Manners and Scent Work titles. Most recently Grace passed her practical Therapy Dog assessment and we are in the process of getting her paperwork finalized to start working at local Veteran facilities.
