Training Facilities

Our home and kennel sit on 3.5 Acres and all yard work is done right here.  We also have access to several hundred acres of private property that is used as training ground.  We have it all, large open hay fields; fields with cover and cover changes, a retired golf course that is probably the best training grounds in west Michigan.  Access to 40 acres of man-made technical water.  A great stick pond.  We will also take our advanced dogs to some select public areas for marsh training.  We at Kingseed believe with the diversity of our available training grounds and the amount of different terrain we have, your dog, in our program will see it all.  He/She will see each learned concept at many different sites.  This is a very important factor in building a reliable retriever. We also train for and run Hunt test and Minor Stakes at field trials. Our program has been very successful at ALL levels of the hunt test game. We have also enjoyed very good success in the Derby and Qualifying stakes at field trials.

Training Program and Pricing


Kingseed Kennels offers an outstanding Retriever Training Program.  Having learned from some of the games best, we have developed a system that produces rock solid Gun Dogs, Hunt Test Dogs, and Field Trial Prospects.  Obedience training is also offered.  If you decide to have us train your dog we will work closely with you once you get your pup home. Your pups first six months are very important and we will be there to guide you through it all. If you have us train you retriever we also expect you to come work with us before you bring your dog back home. That way we can teach you to drive the performance machine we built for you.  At Kingseed Kennels we limit the number of Client Dogs we take in and each dog is given the proper attention.
