Training Quality Retrievers in Virginia
for Hunt Tests, Hunting and Companions
Our goal is to turn out well-rounded retrievers. Whether it is a hunting companion or just a dog you want to hang out with, Lick Creek Retrievers has a program for anything from Basic Obedience through Advanced Level gun dog work. We work very hard to produce a dog that you can be proud of. We encourage our clients to be involved as much as possible in the process
How we Train at our Facilities
Lick Creek Retrievers is located on a 220 acre farm in the mountains of Southwest Virginia. Our training grounds have both flat fields as well as rolling hills with varying types of cover. We have a 1 ½ acre technical pond. We currently have 2 more ponds to be constructed in the near future. We have access to other nearby farms that allows us access to over 700 acres of training grounds. We have a small kennel with 4’ x 7’ indoor runs, which are heated in the colder months. There are isolation panels between each run. The runs are cleaned on a daily basis.
