Old Oak Retrievers

The best breeder and trainer in the state! Old Oak Retriever’s (OOR) ensures the bloodline is pure, and the best traits are passed down and onto you. My lab, Toby, is the calmest, observant and obedient dog I’ve ever owned and he is the direct line from 2 AKC parents. Believe me, it matters, and it makes all the difference in the field or in the city. I chose to have Toby trained by OOR and it’s well worth the money, Those 6 weeks of training continues to be a return on investment, and my dog is the envy of all my dog friends here in St Paul, or all my hunting buddies in the field. I will get my next dog from my friends at Old Oak Retrievers, and you should too!

I have had 6 labs in my life. The last 3 have been from Rick and old oaks kennels between the quality of people and dogs aswell as the prestige of the facilities this is by far the best experience for finding the right dog for you. They will find you a dog that fits your family and life style to a T with a long list of pedigree to back it up. There training is second to none. We got our dog back at 10 months old fully obedience trained and ready for the field. We sent one of our dogs back to get more waterfowl training. I have yet to have one person in the boat that doesn’t say he is the best duck dog they have had the privilege of hunting with. If that isn’t enough Rick is available and happy to help with the smallest of issues and will walk you through any struggles you may be having with your dog. Not to mention he stands behind his work and will do everything he says he’s going to. These are some of the best people and the dogs in the industry. I couldn’t be happier with the three dogs we have now. And will be back for more in the future
