As Good as Golden
What Makes a Platte River Retriever
Proven Genes
Whether you are looking for a Field Trial dog, a family companion or a little of both, we have breedings that are perfect for you.
Intelligent Drive
Hunting or Hunt Tests are a big part of PRR. Training is a constant process for our dogs and when they are not training, they are chasing a variety of wild game from Upland to Waterfowl. From MH, (Master Hunter) titles to outfitter proven veteran hunters, we breed dogs with Drive.
Amazing Demeanor
Everyone knows a Golden’s smile and temperament. Our retrievers are no different with passion, loyalty and intelligence. It’s obvious this breed was put on our earth to make their owners happy.
Luxurious Coats
Along with their smaller and athletic size trait, field Goldens retain the type of moisture repellent coat that their ancestors had. This means less shedding, a bit more shine yet still soft to the touch.
Manageable Size
A great feature of a Field bred Golden Retriever is their manageable size. Typically weighing 50-70 lbs, these Goldens are not the behemoth Goldens you may have seen in the past.
An On/Off Switch
Our field golden retrievers have a never ending drive to make their owners happy, but also seem to know when to wind down and relax appropriately.

Retriever Reviews
High Praise for Our puppies
“Our Platte River Retriever, Murphy, has been an excellent dog from Day One. He is healthy, highly athletic, wonderful with people and extremely intuitive in all aspects. We live in California and are active individuals; therefore, he goes hiking, running and swimming in the lake on a regular basis. We couldn’t imagine life without him!”
"After hunting with Ace’s daughter June, I knew I wanted a dog from the same breeding. In July of 2014, after weeks of playing with each of the puppies in that years litter, I picked out Maple. She’s been a loyal and driven partner ever since. From retrieving teal at a couple months old, to running down big honkers, she’s been everything I could have asked for."
