Antler Trails Retrievers is the creation of Rick and Donna Edington, a husband and
wife team, who have taken their love of the outdoors and their labs, and made their
dream a reality. Formally situated on 180 acres of fields, wetlands, and forests
in Minnesota, The Edingtons were step by step creating habitat that benefits both
retriever training and the wildlife we share our land with. In 2009, the Edingtons
purchased an additional location in Iowa, Critter Camp of Iowa, a large commercial
pet boarding facility located near Fort Dodge Iowa and now reside there.
Labradors
of Antler Trails all began with Rick looking for an upland hunting dog. After watching
numerous breeds of hunting dogs in the field, the skill, beauty and athletic abilities
of the lab caught his attention. Add in the temperament, train ability and loyalty
of the lab, it's the perfect family dog for an active family.
At Antler Trails, our
labs are part of our family. From the time they are young, they are raised in our
home. We not only expect them to be exceptional hunting dogs, we expect them to be
well mannered house companions too.
Our lines are from both American & British lines,
Titled Field Trial or Hunt Test lines, Tournament Hunting lines, and active hunting
lines. We personally train and run our own dogs, both for hunting and for AKC Hunt
Test Events.

and the labs we share our life with.
