Vicci Retriever Co. is a premier gundog breeding and training program focused on producing and developing the world’s finest retrievers for field trials, hunt tests, and waterfowl hunting. The business breeds and trains elite Golden Retrievers with proven competitive pedigrees, emphasizing real-world performance over show traits. Their dogs are raised and evaluated through rigorous field trials and hunting scenarios, ensuring they are highly driven, obedient, and capable in both competitive and hunting environments. While primarily a breeding operation, the training methods used are deeply integrated into their breeding program, with dogs trained in force fetch, yard work, swim-by, blind running, and marking under professional guidance. Owners seeking a highly trained, competition-ready retriever or a top-tier hunting companion can access puppies and stud services from dogs with multiple HRCH, MH, and Field Champion titles.

The trainers behind Vicci Retriever Co. are active competitors and hunters who use US field trials and hunt tests as the benchmark for success. Training is not offered as a standalone service to the general public but is embedded in the development of their breeding stock. Prospective clients who purchase puppies from their litters receive dogs already trained to a high standard, with foundational skills developed from puppyhood. The program is tailored for serious hunters and competitors who want a dog bred and trained for peak performance.

No general dog training services are advertised for non-bred dogs, and there is no indication of group classes, in-home training, or training for non-retriever breeds or non-competitive purposes.
