About Us

Wade Kennels owner/operator, Larry Wade, brings over 25 years of experience training and handling retrievers in both AKC and HRC hunt tests. He has produced multiple Hunting Retriever Champions and Master Hunters. Our slogan is that “All Labs Matter” because trained retrievers who understand their role become a happier and healthier member of the family. We do train more than just labs. It would be hard to find someone in the area with more experience training Chesapeakes as well. Regardless of the breed, our focus is on building a quality retriever that reaches its full potential that you’ll be proud to take to the duck blind.
