Schellhorn Farm

Schellhorn Farm breeds Chesapeake Bay retriever and Labrador retriever in Guilford, Missouri, serving north central Missouri near Kansas City. Since its founding on family-owned land, its program reflects years of experience in producing retrievers with stable temperaments and sound health through carefully planned pairings. All adult dogs receive recommended health screenings and clearances specific to each breed, including hip evaluations and eye exams.

Puppies spend their early days indoors alongside the family, gaining familiar sights and sounds before transitioning to outdoor play. They enjoy supervised outdoor time on the farm’s rural property, exploring fields and waterways to develop retrieving instincts, physical strength, and confidence. Many families remark on each litter’s friendly nature, eager learning, and adaptability to home life, sharing appreciation for clear guidance from the breeder. The farm’s varied terrain supports early introduction to water and field training, allowing puppies to learn basic commands in real-world environments. Ongoing support and guidance are available for new owners adapting to their retriever’s needs, with resources on training techniques and health maintenance.
