Country Retriever puppies for sale in Newfoundland And Labrador

Breed history

The Country Retriever is a modern retriever type developed primarily in the UK with the goal of producing a sound, versatile dog suitable for country life, field work, and family companionship. Drawing from established retriever lines, breeders focused on temperament, trainability, and functional structure rather than exaggerated conformation traits. While not universally recognized as a standardized breed, the Country Retriever represents a return to utility-focused breeding, prioritizing health, stability, and real-world performance. Today, they are valued as capable working dogs and adaptable companions.
