Red Prairie Retrievers

Red Prairie Retrievers raises and trains AKC golden retrievers in Gillette, Wyoming, in the heart of the Powder River Basin, roughly two hours north of Casper. Owner Kourtney Haddix has been connected to the breed since 2007, with the program's first litter arriving in 2009 and the kennel formally established in 2015.

Health testing sits at the center of the program. Beyond the standard OFA and CHIC clearances for hips, elbows, eyes, and cardiac, the program uses UC Davis genetic diversity testing to evaluate each dog's haplotype, heterozygosity, and internal relatedness before making breeding decisions. Recessive genetic panel testing is also part of the routine.

All dogs live in the home as daily family companions, and the program orients its goldens toward field, sport, and family life equally. The dogs actively compete and earn titles — including CGC, TKN, VHMA, junior hunter, and senior hunter designations — and Red Prairie Retrievers holds memberships in Boomtown HRC, Treasure State AKC/HRC, and Mount Rushmore AKC/HRC. Breeding females are rotated based on their training and competition schedules, generally producing one to three litters after health testing, and retired dogs remain in the family or go to trusted homes. For anyone searching for golden retriever puppies in Wyoming with a field-and-sport foundation, this program reflects a deliberate, activity-driven approach to the breed.
