Wildrose Kennels Labradors

Video

This 143-acre facility breeds and trains impeccably-lineaged British and Irish Labradors—dubbed Gentleman's Gundogs in a beautiful setting that includes 66 kennels, plus numerous fields and creeks for dogs to explore and roam free. Owner Michael Stewart prides himself on offering up a 365-dog featuring the in-demand (and rare) combination of obedience in the field with playfulness at home. Roughly 15 finished dogs—who have lived and trained at Wildrose, as well as hunted more than 1,000 birds—are offered each year, with a year-long wait list.

Cost: $12,000 to $15,000
