Dog Training Methodology
Sievers Retrievers focuses on a comprehensive breeding program designed to produce puppies with desirable traits for various purposes. They breed for good family dogs, intelligent working dogs with calm dispositions, and great temperaments, ensuring the puppies are well-suited for home environments. While 98-99% of their puppies become in-home family pets, they are also bred for potential use as therapy dogs, seeing eye dogs, and hunting companions.
Their program includes ensuring all breeds are free from hereditary problems, with foundation breeding dogs possessing several generations of hip, eye, and elbow clearances. Each puppy receives two initial vaccinations and worming treatments before going to their new homes. They also offer lifetime after-sale support for every dog.

The business operates by appointment only.
Testimonials
“We are the very pleased owners of Brady who is out of the 8/1/12 Sally and Cooper litter. He’s growing like a weed. Before long I won’t be able to carry him around! We started puppy kindergarten Monday night. He catches on quickly and I’ve never seen a dog who loved being with other dogs, and people, as much as he does. If we can just get past the teething stage, we’ll have this puppy thing knocked. Also, he’s doing well with house breaking and has from day one. I’m attaching a picture we took with my teddy bear collection. I think it’s pretty cute and thought you’d enjoy seeing it. All the best, Michelle Linneweh”

“Hi Carla! Of course! Bella is a stunning girl that gets attention everywhere she goes. Everyone is amazed that she is a miniature golden doodle and loves her sweet personality and teddy bear looks. She seems to have the best of both worlds for the friendliness of the golden and the sensitivity/ intelligence of the poodle. She is 9 months old and weighs 22 lbs. I am quite sure she will remain under 25 lbs because she has been 21-22 lbs for the last three months. We have always been a family who has owned golden retrievers and a full sized golden doodle. Bella is the smallest dog we have ever owned but she has a full sized personality- except she eats less, poops smaller, and takes less room up in our bed. She is perfect! I do not find her hair anywhere in the house which is true of most doodles. I brush her on a regular basis and it is amazing how little hair collects in the brush…. nothing like owning a shedding pup. Using the potty chimes really helped learn her cues when she wanted or needed to go outside. She learned to use the chimes on her own right at 8 weeks old and still uses them. There was a time, earlier on, that she started to submissive pee when she was really happy to see us come home. We did a little research on dog behavior and learned to modify our own behaviors so we wouldn’t be encouraging her to do this. The good news is that she no longer does. I am so in love with this little beauty and thank you for putting her in our lives. I am sending a puppy picture of her, a 4 month picture of her, and a couple recent pics of her. I hope you enjoy them! ~Mary Jordan- and family!”

“Just wanted to send you a note to tell you how happy we are with our miniature labradoodle we got from you in the October 2011. Our dog, Fozzie, is about 11 months old and is from Annie and Cooper. She is the absolute best dog on the planet. She is loving, playful, obedient, and smart. It takes her no time at all to learn both tricks and new rules of the house. She seemingly loves everyone equally although she really likes snuggling with our kids (ages 8, 11) in their beds at night. The neighborhood kids all want to play with Fozzie, and she NEVER tires of playing fetch with a tennis ball. We have used the Potty Time Chimes with her from the beginning. She learned the system in about two days and we have never looked back. She just knows to ring it when she has to go out. Fozzie stands about 21 inches tall and weighs 43 pounds.
