Fox River Kennels

Fox River Kennels in Waupaca, Wisconsin has been breeding and training Labrador retrievers and Vizslas since 1985, making it one of the longer-running sporting dog programs in central Wisconsin. The kennel is run by Charles Ketner, whose focus centers on producing healthy dogs that serve equally well as family companions and hunting partners.

Waupaca sits in a region of central Wisconsin known for its lakes, rivers, and outdoor recreation, roughly an hour northwest of Green Bay — terrain well suited to the upland and waterfowl work these breeds are selected for. Labrador retriever puppies from Fox River Kennels are bred with an emphasis on soundness and versatility, and Vizslas round out the program as a pointing breed alongside the retrievers.

The kennel does not pursue hunt tests or field trial competition, keeping its program oriented toward practical hunting ability and family life rather than the trial circuit. Visits to the facility are welcomed, allowing prospective families to meet the dogs and assess the environment firsthand.
