Dry Pond Retrievers & Kennel

I honestly couldn’t be happier with my experience at this kennel! From the very first message, Beth, the owner, was amazing to work with — super knowledgeable, kind, and always quick to respond. Communication was effortless, and you can tell right away how much she truly cares about her dogs and the families they go to. Beth has an incredible eye for matching the right puppy with the right person. Her criteria and process are spot on — she really took the time to get to know what I was looking for and made sure I found the perfect fit. The dogs she raises are absolutely beautiful, healthy, and have the best temperaments. You can tell they’re raised with love and attention. My pup has been everything I wanted and so much more — friendly, smart, and full of personality. I’m beyond grateful for the experience and for the care Beth puts into every detail. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a responsible, ethical breeder who genuinely puts the dogs’ well-being first.

Dry Pond Kennel is absolutely amazing. Beth and her staff are amazing and take such good care of the pups. We currently have 2 DPK dogs and they’re going to be mamas by the end of the year hopefully and I have full trust in Beth and her staff and what to do with them! I highly recommended Dry Pond if you’re looking for some of the best lab pups around!

We got our dog June from Beth and Dry Pond. She just turned 3 and she is the best lab we have ever owned. She has incredible prey drive in the field, but when she gets home she has an off switch and just wants to be a pet. I highly recommend Dry Pond and their litters of puppies. I have several friends that have gotten dogs from them and their pets are the same way June is.

As long time lab owners and lovers, we researched numerous breeders when we were ready for another field chocolate puppy. I found Dry Pond Kennel several years before we actually ended up getting a pup. I knew they were the exact match for us. Beth, the owner, goes above and beyond in so many ways. For instance....1. her criteria is very strict and specific when it comes to choosing a match for breeding. 2. They consider every aspect when it comes to neonatal care including an outstanding developmental environment. Every aspect is addressed including excellent veterinary support, early nutritional supplemental and food when weening. 3. Another important thing that they offer is a head start program where the puppies actually begin crucial training including crate training, potty training and numerous commands that literally give you a head start with training. Our pup stayed for the head start and was housebroken at 12 weeks. 4. Oh and another very important aspect is that they ask you what kind of things you would like in a puppy so they can match the litter with the charicteristics you desire. We got the perfect puppy. He is so smart....just everything and more than we hoped for. I will absolutely get another pup from Beth and Dry Pond Kennel!!

We love Dry Pond. They really know their stuff. The puppies have a great environment and the head start program is very valuable to get them started off correctly.
