Mioak's Retrievers - Wisconsin Golden Retriever, Labrador Retriever Breeders

Mioak's Retrievers has been breeding guality working dogs for more than 35 years. Most of that time I was actively involved in Field Trials - training, competing, judging, and on the board of directors of retriever clubs. I have bred and owned numerous Field Champions, Master Hunters, and dogs involved with agility, obedience and tracking competition. In fact, many of the breeders on this site started their own kennels with competition and breeding dogs obtained from Mioak's Retrievers. But my primary focus is breeding the best hunting dog I possibly can. A working dog who is healthy, intelligent, full of drive and desire, but also a dog possessing a sound disposition, a willingness to please, and a happy personality. Because, when not hunting, he will spend his time as a calm house dog and loving family companion. All breeding dogs have health clearances, excellent field championship lineage and are chosen carefully to produce that "dog of a lifetime."

Our hunting golden, Mioak's Bonifide Lady Amber, was four in February - from a Keely/Keeper litter - and is a loving member of the family, a constant companion for Glor-Loral Autumn Mist, who is a half Mioak - her sire was Mioak's Real McCoy. Misty is 14 now and last season was her last trip to the pheasant fields, but she still puts Amber in her place when the weather is cool. Amber is a wonderful hunter, good nose, active retrieve. She had her first taste of wild birds at the age of 18 months on a trip to western Minnesota with a relative. All of her yard work was done by son, Sam, the summer after we picked her up in April 2005. He was 12 and worked from a list of training exercises that I left for him every day before I went to work. She was his "summer job." What a willing learner!She "hunts close" and handles very easily. She is a very protective guard of our place here in Brookfield. Has the deepest, loudest bark that I have ever heard from a golden. But, she has a heart of gold and is a wonderful family member. In a trip to South Dakota this year, she got the first bird, trapping a rooster at the bottom of a draw!

We purchased our first Mioaks dog, Mioaks Keely, from Mickey 9 years ago. While we don't hunt, I'm a Deputy Sheriff and use my dog for work as a cadaver dog/search and rescue dog. Mickey was recommended to us as a great source to replace our at that time cadaver dog, that was diagnosed with cancer. Mioaks Keely has been such an awesome dog and has been instrumental in recovering several drowned subjects as well as being sent into crime scenes to locate areas and items of interest. Mioaks Keely was leased back to Mickey and has produced truly awesome dogs for her. We kept a pup from her last litter, Mioaks Mighty Quinn, who is now 3 and is as awesome as his mother. We highly recommend Mickey as a breeder and a trainer. When I use my Mioaks dogs I put my reputation on the line and I never have to think twice when I tell people were I get my dogs.

Our family as had numerous goldens from Mioaks. Mickey is true expert in her field. Our current dogs, Tygar's Keep-her and Tyler's Amazing Journey are perfect family dogs and hunters. Though trained as a field trial dog and duck retriever, Keep-her is a natural upland game retriever. Yesterday she retrieved 18 pheasants. She naturally weaves and even points. Great Dogs and a great breeder!

I have known Mickey as a friend, fellow trainer of field trial dogs and as a breeder since the 1970s. She is tops in my book. Tells it like it is whether you want to hear it or not, but also gives tons of help and good advice. She raises litters the way they should in a clean environment and socialized properly. She stands by her word.

I currently own a 14 month old Mioaks golden who is a wonderful pheasant and duck dog and coming along nicely in training. Great in the house and comical to hang out with.

I couldn't be happier with my golden, Mioak's Mack The Knife, that I purchased from Mickey Strandberg of Mioak kennels. He has his master hunter, W.C.X., multiple agility titles & his excellent rally title. Trained soley by me for his field titles. Great breeder to deal with.
