Testimonials from Past Clients

"We got our handsome male black lab “Drake” from Aaron & Jenny at Red Cedar Retrievers in 2020.
Right from the beginning, Aaron and Jenny were eager to share pictures of our puppy and the litter, which was wonderful! We were able to go and see our puppy a few weeks before picking him up to take home. Coordination of pickup and everything that is involved with that was smooth and easy.
Aaron and Jenny are truly knowledgeable, helpful and easy to work with in all aspects! They did an amazing job with Drake and we are so thankful and happy to have him as part of our family! Whenever we are out with him, we receive many compliments such as “what a handsome dog” or “he is a great looking lab”. Drake is a wonderful addition to our family – thank you Red Cedar Retrievers!"
