Gentleman’s Gundog
Wildrose Kennels specializes in the breeding, training and importation of fine Labradors of British and Irish influence for the selective wingshooter. Our Labs, whether they are puppies, started or finished retrievers, are best categorized in character, temperament and ability as a Gentleman's Gundog.
We believe that a Labrador, to be considered as a classic Gentleman's hunting companion by English standards, must reflect certain desirable qualities. These desirables have undergone 20 years of continuous improvement and remain as the core values of the Wildrose Kennels breeding and training programs.
