Rocky River Retrievers

Rocky River Retrievers focuses on AKC-registered English white Labrador retrievers, with owner Ben Tanner operating the program across properties in central Utah and Tennessee. Those searching for Labrador retriever puppies in California may note the program serves families nationwide from its multi-state setup.

The breeding philosophy centers on health first, temperament second, and appearance third. Ben Tanner has spent over two decades developing bloodlines drawn from some of the country's well-regarded kennels, with a specific emphasis on selecting only the whitest-coated dogs for the program. The goal is a dual-purpose retriever that carries the blocky head and calm disposition associated with English show lines, while retaining the athleticism and retrieving drive more common in American field lines. Dogs have access to a large running area with a pond across 11 acres, and the program involves the Tanner family's five children in socialization and early neurological stimulation for each litter.

Health screening is built into the selection process, with the program working to reduce common hereditary defects from its lines. Prospective families go through a screening process before placement, and the program does not carry the dilute gene in its white lab lines.
