Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind FullCircle Curly-Coated Retrievers located in Tallahassee, FL. My dogs are hard-working gundogs, champions, and excellent companions. I breed healthy, trainable, and well-rounded pups and I am dedicated to putting great effort into my program. My dogs are family and they bring so much joy to my life and to the lives of my puppy owners. It is so important to me that each puppy is placed in a loving home.
