Turbo Retrievers is a dog training business owned by Ron and Pat Rubrecht, specializing in breeding and training high-performance Golden Retrievers for field work, obedience, agility, and hunting. Their dogs are bred for intelligence, drive, athleticism, and a strong work ethic, with a focus on producing healthy, medium-sized goldens with short, low-maintenance coats. Ron personally trains the dogs and works with clients, offering guidance through his extensive network of trainers and fellow enthusiasts. While primarily known as a breeder, Ron provides hands-on training support for puppy owners, helping them develop their dogs’ working abilities and family integration. Training is rooted in positive, experience-based methods developed over decades of hands-on field work and competition. Clients receive ongoing support from Ron and Pat, who remain involved long after a puppy goes home.

The business emphasizes quality over quantity, with limited litters and selective breeding using top genetic lines and frozen semen from elite field dogs. Their facility in Land O’Lakes, Florida, includes a custom-built dog pool and large outdoor space for training. Many clients are involved in hunting, agility, or competitive obedience, and Ron’s dogs have earned multiple Master Hunter titles and competed at national levels.

Although not a traditional training school, Turbo Retrievers offers personalized training advice and mentorship to puppy owners, often connecting them with local trainers in their network. Training is integrated into daily life, with dogs working alongside Ron during his workday and competing in field trials.

The trainers are deeply committed to the Golden Retriever breed, maintaining high health standards and prioritizing temperament and working ability in every breeding decision.

Accomplishments

Turbo Retrievers has produced three Master Hunters in their home: Sharlie, Molly, and JoJo. Dogs from their program have competed in the 2014 Master National Trials in California. Multiple dogs have earned CDX and JH titles. Ron has trained dogs using advanced breeding techniques including surgical insemination with top-line frozen semen.
