In 2010 i purchased my first retriever a Yellow Lab for hunting. I was lucky enough to have him recommended to me. Since then I have had 3 Labs personally with Cross Creek and directed another 6 Labs to them. My 1st Lab was Master and Finished title. When this all began i didn't know anything about the quality of the training my Lab and I were getting.

We highly recommend Cross Creek Kennel for...read full review
