Smith's Retrievers

Smith’s Retrievers, Golden retriever and Labrador retriever breeders in Molino, FL, serve Escambia County near Pensacola. It is run by Drayton Smith, who has bred retrievers for over a decade and maintains American Kennel Club membership with health testing on hips, elbows and eyes.

Puppies are raised in a family setting on a small farm where they share living space with children and cats, and are introduced to tractors and coastal sounds. Every dog receives age-appropriate vaccinations, microchipping and regular veterinary care. Bloodlines are chosen for steady temperaments and sound structure.

Basic training guidance and ongoing support reflect a commitment to lifelong partnerships between dogs and their families. Several graduates have gone on to compete in hunt tests or serve as therapy dogs at local community centers. Puppy play sessions take place in a shaded yard overlooking open fields, introducing young dogs to sights and sounds of rural life.
