Welcome, and thank you for visiting Mud Creek Retrievers.
We operate a small, family-run full service kennel that is devoted to producing champion Retrievers. 

Our primary goal is to breed outstanding Labrador retrievers that perform exceptionally well in the fields and within your family.  We have spent several years researching and developing the best quality bloodlines.  We have purchased labs from across the country that possess superior genetics and accomplished pedigrees.  Mud Creek Retrievers stem from many generations of field trial and hunt test champions.

We carefully plan two-to-four litters per year with our successfully accomplished retrievers.  Mud Creek Retriever puppies are always bred from Sires and Dams who have AKC & UKC hunt titles, along with extensive hunting experiences.  Our retrievers and all puppies are raised as true members of our family, making them sociable and friendly.  We also offer customized whelping services for owners who want quality whelping accommodations and around-the-clock attention provided for their female and upcoming litter.

We specialize in gun-dog training for upland and waterfowl hunting. 
We can customize a training program with the following services:
Obedience, force fetch, collar conditioning and advanced training for hunt tests. We are also very proud to offer at stud, Hunter Retriever Champion (HRCH) Screamin Demon Deacon Master Hunter (MH) to approved females.  In addition to his accomplishments on the hunt-test circuit, Deacon does a phenomenal job hunting during the upland and waterfowl seasons. To view Deacon at work click here. 

Our spacious 280-acre estate offers a variety of rolling pastures, lakes and streams for training and hunting.  We are only one hour and 30 minutes west of Chicago.

Our family is passionate about the outdoors and we love experiencing it with our labs. We also enjoy sharing this passion with others. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have about any of the services we offer.
