Yadkin River Kennel

Yadkin River Kennel is a Labrador retriever breeder in Pinnacle, NC, serving northwestern North Carolina near Winston-Salem. It has been raising retrievers for over a decade with American Kennel Club registration and comprehensive health screenings for hips and elbows.

Puppies are raised in a family home with daily socialization, regular vet care, and access to a secure outdoor run that reflects the owner’s focus on balanced development. Adam Baker’s background in obedience training ensures each dog begins basic commands before joining a new family. Many owners note the calm temperament and strong retrieval drive that help these dogs excel in both family life and field work.

The kennel’s adult dogs live on a small farm where they practice retrieving in open fields and enjoy regular exercise with family members. All breeding dogs undergo OFA and EIC testing to maintain genetic health and temperament standards common to the breed.
