I'm the breeder behind Champion Retrievers, Inc located in Pineville, LA. Our Labrador Retrievers are bred from phenomenal genetics to make a perfect companion, hunter, and competition prospect. We breed from the best of the field trial/hunt test pedigrees that are proven with titles of Grand Hunting Retriever Champion, Hunter Retriever Champion, Master Hunter, and Master National Hunters.
About Tina
My Labradors are my passion, and I enjoy spending my life with them. I am very active in field/hunting trials and even have a dog in the Hunting Retriever Hall of Fame! I strive to not only produce beautiful puppies and continue my award-winning lines, but to promote responsible breeding in order to ensure that the Labrador Retriever will continue to thrive for generations to come with it's best qualities.
What makes Tina’s program special
I take great pride in training some of the finest duck dogs in the country for the duck hunting enthusiast. In addition, many of my dogs compete for titles in both the AKC and UKC hunt tests. All of my sires and dams are health tested for hips, eyes, elbows, EIC (Exercise-Induced Collapse), CNM (Centronuclear Myopathy), and dilute coloring. I am dedicated to continuing my phenomenal bloodlines in an effort to provide others with loving, healthy, and happy puppies.

Why Tina started breeding
I regularly participate in field and hunting trials and started breeding to continue and improve upon my prized Labrador lines. It is my passion to breed these incredible dogs and help ensure the future of the breed. My Labs win in various show avenues and, most importantly, in homes as loving family members.
