Imperial Retrievers
HRCH Imperials Electric Barbarella
"Barbie" is a Simon and Mattye pup, and a member of the legendary "5-Champion Litter" from 2018. She's an exceptional marking dog and runs a great line. Her drive is phenomenal, as is her intelligence. Barbie is truly the most overall-talented retriever I have ever trained. Barbie's dam (Mattye) is a UKC Top 10 Producing Dam in 2023, 2024, and 2025 with nearly half of her pups
achieving Hunting Retriever Club titles.
Barbie has Excellent hips, Normal elbows, a normal CERF,
and is Clear for EIC, CNM, PRA, and is Yellow-factored.
HR Imperials Just What I Needed
"Carly" is from our HRCH Indie x Int FC Apache Joe litter. She's one of my favorite gun dogs due to her composure, cold-water tolerance, and prey drive. She's quiet and reserved, and extremely biddable. Carly has Excellent hips, a normal CERF, and is Clear for EIC, CNM, PRA, and is Yellow-factored.
HR Imperials Have a Drink on Me
"Whiskey" is a Barbie and Lourde pup, whelped in November of 2020. She's got her mother's talent, focus, and prey drive. She was hunted sparingly in 2021-22, and her first live retrieve was a Pintail drake. She was unfazed by the cold conditions, ice, and handled our outings like a seasoned veteran. Whiskey achieved her Seasoned (Hunting Retriever) title in the spring of 2023, and is currently training for Finished. She has Excellent hips, a normal CERF, and is Clear for EIC, CNM, and PRA,
HRCH Imperials Bad Reputation
"JJ" is from our now-retired Mattye's final litter. For this last breeding, we chose to pair her with our own HRCH UH Imperial's It's Good to be King (Petty). The unique aspect of this breeding is that both her mother and paternal grand-dam made UKC's Top Producing Dam list in 2023. JJ is all we could have hoped for, as she possesses her sire's boldness and focus, and her mother's classic Labrador Retriever features. JJ achieved her Seasoned (HR) title in the fall of 2023, and her Finished title in 2025, never failing a test in her career running HRC tests. JJ has Good hips, Normal eyes, and Clear for PRA, CNM, and EIC.

HR Imperials Go Your Own Way
"Stevie" is a product of a HRCH UH Petty x HRCH Barbie pairing.
She has that classic "Mattye" head, along with great body structure. Stevie is all business, with excellent mental toughness and great cold-water tolerance. She's on the smaller side, at just under 50 lbs. Stevie was one of my primary guide dogs in her first season, and handled ducks and geese with ease and enthusiasm. We will have her hips and eyes evaluated in the spring of 2026. She is Clear for PRA, CNM, and EIC.
SHR RPM's Let Em' Talk
"Gabby" was purchased from our friends at RPM Retrievers as a puppy. She's a well-built and athletic girl, with excellent athleticism and prey drive. Both of her parents are renowned UKC Shed Dogs from exceptional British pedigrees. We're seeing some great qualities in her so far and are looking forward to what she brings to the table. She will run Seasoned in the fall of 2026.
