I'm Candy F., the breeder behind Sanderling Flat-Coated Retrievers located in Dos Palos, CA. We compete with our dogs in Conformation, AKC Hunt Tests and Competitive Obedience. When we breed we are hoping for healthy and sound dogs with proper breed type who are ready and willing to work. So our ideal home is someone who also participates in those venues. But we will place a pup in a companion home if it is a good fit.
