Legend Retrievers & Working Dogs

Due to significant changes in my family circumstances, I want to share an important update regarding my training and boarding services:
My father is currently facing serious health challenges, and I have stepped into the role of his full-time caregiver. As a result, I will no longer be accepting new Board & Train clients.
I will, however:
Complete all current and remaining service dog clients already under contract.
Continue boarding on a very limited, case-by-case basis for dogs who have previously trained with me.
Continue my breeding program, though future litters will be spaced out and dependent on my father’s health and care needs at the time.

For the foreseeable future, this page will primarily feature my personal dogs and upcoming dogs in the program, with fewer regular posts than in the past.
I am deeply grateful to all of my clients, supporters, and friends who have trusted me with their dogs over the years. We truly had a wonderful run, and your support has meant more to me than I can express.
For now, I am setting this portion of my work to the side to focus on family. I sincerely hope you’ll continue to follow and support the page during this quieter season.

Thank you for your understanding, kindness, and continued support. - With Love, Allie

K and Pops have been training with me for a little over a year and a half, pops works on the Texas A&M Campus which is a pretty high intensity environment, and K has a pretty complex task list. This week when she had a break from classes we met up at the Domain to practice around squirrels, the excitement of seeing a friend and maintaining heel. We had breakfast in a restaurant, then Pops maintained a down stay while I and a couple kiddos had a great time climbing an outdoor structure and rolling around on the ground in front of him. Pops knew the assignment and maintained a nice down stay.

This is the proofing stage of his training, he knows where he should be and what he should be doing most of the time. In the proofing stage we test him in more extreme or extra ordinary circumstances. Great work pops!
