Wildrose Labradors are regarded among wingshooters and adventurers as the most versatile sporting dogs in the world. For almost four decades, Wildrose has produced a classic “Gentleman’s Gundog™” of superb temperament and natural gamefinding ability. A dog that is gentle in the home and dynamic in the field. Our dogs are the perfect complement to any family’s outdoor adventures. From canoeing, fishing and hiking mountain trails, to leisurely afternoons by the lake, our dogs are able and dependable companions for any adventure.
Through our long associations in England and N. Ireland with some of the most successful trainers of the regions, Wildrose continues to offer the authentic English Labrador retriever, just as one might witness on the finest estate shoots of the United Kingdom. Wildrose provides expansive services including: a comprehensive health-care program, unmatched after-sales support and a full progression of training options. These services are complemented with a passionate, highly-skilled staff who have helped make Wildrose one of the most prestigious breeding and training facilities in the country.
Our full service locations include: Oxford Mississippi, Dallas Texas, Mebane, North Carolina and Sheboygan, WI. We have seasonal training facilities in Jasper Arkansas along the Little Buffalo River and Granite Colorado. Our CO location borders the prestigious mountain trout stream Clear Creek, which was previously an Orvis-endorsed fly fishing destination. We are also partnered with Blixt & Co. in Teton Valley, Idaho for authentic European style driven shooting in America.
