SO MUCH TO TRAIN. SO LITTLE TIME. THAT’S WHERE I COME IN.
Hope Retrievers is owned and operated by Kelli Hope of Whitewright, Texas which is just 1 hour north of Dallas and serving all North Texas and Southern Oklahoma. Her love for the retriever began when she trained her first chocolate lab for her husband Jordan. From there she has trained and competed in many AKC hunt tests. This includes qualifying several Retrievers for the AKC Master Nationals and UKC International Grand each year.
Kelli is a 36-dog training operation. This gives her adequate time with each of them to ensure they reach their full potential. Hope Retrievers strives to bring out the best in YOUR companion!
