Southfork Retrievers

Helena and I are from Antioch, IL, a town in Lake County Illinois right next to the Wisconsin border. We bought our home in Trevor, WI literally 2 miles from our hometown to build our dream of owning a small Labrador Retriever breeding and training program. While we attended the same high school and had many common friends, we ultimately met when Helena came to me for help training her Labrador. It was our love of the breed and love of owning dogs that began our relationship and now we get to share it with others. I have been working with dogs for over fifteen years. It began at age 15 when a local breeder allowed me to come to the kennel and work with his dogs. Eventually, I was training dogs in basic obedience and upland hunting; fr
