We are located in the heart of Iowa & began in 1992 with a single Labrador female of very modest lineage. Since that time Contender Retrievers has developed into a top-notch producer of retrievers bred from Field Trial lines that will fulfill the needs of the most discriminating competitors of field tests as well as upland / waterfowl hunters. We understand that not all of our puppies will be placed in competition or hunting homes, however we still use the same high standards for ALL of the puppies from our breeding program.
