  "Started Retrievers"

None available at the moment.

I keep the two best dogs out of each litter for my self. Train them and then pick the very best one to keep the second best one is sold as a started dog.

"Started' retrievers are young dogs that have already begun their retriever and obedience training. There are several advantages of buying started retrievers.  

First, you have the opportunity to see the dog's personality before you buy it. Is it going to be an alpha dog, or will it be one that needs more encouragement? You will also have a better idea as to what the finished product will look like.

Second, they have been taught that the only way to get the job done is the right way. They are brought up accentuating their positives and any potential undesirable behaviors are nipped in the bud.  A retriever that has learned to learn can learn forever.

Third, for someone who is not interested in house breaking, or is not comfortable in training, a started. retriever is a favorable option. A started retriever will bond to you in much the same way that a puppy will; however, the started dog already knows its place. It won't get on the furniture and is already house broken. It can heal, come when called, sit, he, stay, and has basic hunting abilities.
