Past Puppies & Testimonials

Just a few of our many satisfied new puppy owners...
February 2012 - We had 4 Phantom Labradors-bred pups, from 4 different litters, each qualify at a Hunt Test Picnic this last weekend. I'm proud of the hard work and devotion of these guys, it is paying off and we look forward to Orange ribbons and titles in the spring!

We received a lab from you guys back in October 2008 "Jazz" or what you guys had labeled as white collar female. I'm here to tell ya I couldn't be more pleased with her. Jazz has grown into beautiful adult silver lab. She is a loyal and obedient companion to me. The retriever drive in her is absolutely unbelievable and I've yet to see another dog around here that can out retrieve her. Jazz has experienced zero health problems. I have worked with that girl everyday since she has been mine. The work has truly paid off, she requires no voice commands as she knows hand signal commands. Its awesome to watch her work without saying a word. Six months after I got Jazz I got another lab "Crash". He is a beautiful yellow male. Crash is a lot more mild mannered than Jazz and could careless about retrieving. The two balance each other out and I don't think one could live without the other. They love each other so much as I do them. Thank you for breeding such a wonderful dog she makes me so happy everyday.   -Ryan ~ Texas


I just wanted to share with you how much this puppy, who my daughter named Kota, has already helped...The pup had only been home a couple hours when my daughter had a bad seizure Monday.  Kota was on her lap…Kota didn't leave her side. When my daughter regained consciousness the first she thing she did after she recognized me was look down at Kota, and if you could have seen the sense of peace that came over her....... It was breathtaking. Considering what happens to a person during a seizure I CAN NOT believe that this pup wasn't terrified, let alone the fact that she wanted to be with my daughter during the duration!  I couldn't believe how on this new baby's very first day she already had done so much to help My baby!!! Anyway, just wanted to share this with you!!
Also we took her out of town with us this past weekend and she was phenomenal.  She travels well.  She minds well.  I am so pleased with for only being 8 weeks old, how trainable she is.  We have received so many compliments on her, and I feel that you should receive the praise, after all it is your hard work that has gotten where she is at this point. Thank you.  From the bottom of our hearts. Thank you.   -Toni ~ Utah          


Love him! Rook has been a great all around dog! Fetches the newspaper every day for my parents. Frisbee catcher...Sleeps and hunts anything!   -Josh ~ Utah


Good morning. Just an update on Cody. He is doing fine and just had his last set of shots Friday. He's 38 lbs and half way to his mom and dad's weight. He is such and good boy and he is a very fast learner. I spend as much time as I can with him and being laid off from work has been a blessing.  This Saturday was his first time at the beach and he had a blast.  I found a pool of water for him behind a jetty where the waves came around from both sides and he was jumping in the waves like a little kid. I take him to a doggie park every day and he plays with his buddies there. He mostly wrestles with his buddie “Miller” which is now more than half his size. When we first started they were the same size lol. I get so many compliments about Cody where ever I go.  They always tell me what a beautiful coloring he has and how well his temperament is. He has been such a joy in my life and I can't thank you enough for the beautiful gift you have given me.  
Give Sky and Charlie a big hug for me. I'm thinking of maybe getting a brother for Cody when Boo has her litter next year. I would love to give him a companion, we'll see.   -Tammy ~ New Jersey



Here's a few pics of Kimber in her first training session. She is a natural born retriever she loves the water and did absolutely great.  She is loving it in California and plays with the other dogs at the house.   -Daniel ~ California


Hey guys we just got some family pics done and I thought you may want to see a couple of pics of Ash? We love her very much! Thanks again, she just had her 2nd birthday Nov 21st.   -Chad ~ Utah


Temperamentally flawless, smart as they come, gorgeous and big! Not so tall, but 35 pounds of chest, head and shoulders. Total house dog and a mama’s girl. Wouldn't have it any other way. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to carry on a stunning line. We start our round of Spring Banquets with DU Friday, and she will be representing for both of us.   -Kellae ~ California


Magnum has been back in the states from Peru for a year and a half now. He had an awesome hunting season last year, being his first and had many successful retrieves on doves, geese, ducks and pheasants. He if off to a good start already this year with 2 days of limits on doves. He hunts hard and doesn't want to quit.  He is 95 pounds of muscle and a super strong swimmer. He makes such a big wake going after a bird that he looks like a missile. He is all about fetching. He carries his red Kong ball every where and will try to fetch his cat buddy if you tell him too, although he has never been successful at that ;-) He is a BIG momma's boy, and whines every time I leave the house, makes my husband crazy...I like it.  Any way, just wanted to give you an update on a very spoiled hunting partner.   -Kelli ~ Peru/Nevada




Kinsey slept most of the was home on Friday and we've had a busy weekend getting situated, but she's been great.  The last 2 nights, she's only had to go out once during the night!  We're not completely potty trained, but she's a smart girl and it won't be long.

I've taken Kinsey out to a few places and she is quite the attention getter.  Between being damn cute and her unique coloring everyone finds her irresistible.  I've told a few people about you, so hopefully you will get some inquiries on future litters.   -Susan ~ Idaho





I just want to give you an update on the pup we got from you guys in March. She was one of Jade's litter. Her name is Grace and shes doing great. You guys were great to work with. Thanks for making the experience enjoyable.   -Al ~ Utah


Sending our annual picture of Casper from. She is about 2.5 years, great hunting dog and part of the family. She loves going for her pheasants and we get out as often as we can.   -Michael ~ Rhode Island


We just wanted to send you a few pictures of Enzo and let you know he's doing great! He's a beautiful puppy and we've loved having him.   -Anne ~ Utah


I wanted to give you an update. Greyce is doing great, what an athlete! She is a “rockstar,” attention everywhere we go…We are members of the Cascade Dock Dogs, she really likes competing. I hope all is well.   -Ron ~ Oregon


We named her Eleanor, or “Ellie” for short.  She is a VERY sweet and beautiful girl and we love her dearly.  She is create trained, and I have her responding to “sit, stay, come and heal.”  She is already retrieving well inside the house....
We are so happy we found you and Ellie.  I have recommended you to many of my friends.  If you have any plans for upcoming litters, let me know and I’ll pass it along.   -Greg ~ Utah
