Sundance retrievers is the best. We picked our new (Companion) dog, Sammy up on a Saturday and he quickly made himself part of the family. He is incredibly well mannered, a good listener and seldom gets distracted when out there on our walks. He has plenty of playful energy in the yard and keeps us laughing all day long. Sheryl and the team at Sundance deliver great pets. Here, Heel and Sit are exactly what Sammy does when asked. We could not be happier and I would give 100 stars if I could. Getting Sammy from Sundance was worth every penny. Sheryl has been available to answer questions when they have come up. And has great suggestions and insights. I highly recommend this breeder.

Finding a new canine companion, one that has solid temperament and comes from thoughtful breeding, is no easy feat. So I was very excited when I found Sheryl and Sundance Retrievers. Sheryl has been super responsive to any and all questions. There are guidance documents and reading lists on the Sundance website to keep expectant new owners busy while their pups are training. This has been very useful while I am waiting to pick up my new boy. I am looking forward to his arrival and am excited to begin the next leg of this journey as he and I together continue to train as a new team.

I purchased my last dog from Sundance and I returned for another lab. The more I thought about it, the more I decided that I would get two, a brother and sister. I am excited because Sheryl and Scott produce great labs. Are they still pups? Yes but they are also well behaved and socialized pups….and also adorable. I can’t wait to pick up Cash and Ruby in late October!

My husband and I selected Sundance Retrievers after carefully reviewing many websites for trained Labrador Retrievers. We found the website informative and honest. Most importantly we found owner Sheryl Sundean to be knowledgeable, honest, collegial and collaborative in assisting us in selecting the right dog for us. We had the opportunity to visit our puppy Captain at the ranch and have him stay with us in a hotel for a long weekend in Erie. What a great experience! Sheryl provided everything we needed for our weekend adventure. Although Captain's training was not yet complete, his temperament was exactly what we were looking for, he was an absolute joy and very well socialized. He was house trained, crate trained and loved all people and other dogs! Literally EVERYONE who met him at the hotel (and there were many) remarked on how unbelievably calm and well mannered he was for a six month old lab puppy. We are looking forward to picking up Captain shortly to bring him home and continue training on the foundation that Sheryl and her team have started. We recommend Sundance Retrievers without reservation.

We went to visit Ivy for the weekend that we are purchasing from Sundance. They were ready for us when we arrived. Sheryl and her team had a care package packed with everything we needed for the weekend and provided a dog kennel for the weekend. This was above our expectations on what was provided. Ivy was a blast for the weekend. She really bonded with our 12 year old daughter. Lots of snuggling and was sweet interacting with her. We were pleased with her training to date. Ivy was a ball of energy and we believe she will fit well into our family.

Had Roxy for 2 months now. A really sweet nice dog. Don’t think that you are not getting a pup. It’s still lots of time and work. Sheryl was great and very responsive. I must admit that given the time and money spent I thought it would be easier. These are Kennel kept dogs and much time has been spent potty training her and getting her used to living in a home. As well as obedience training. Roxy is responsive and eager to learn We are almost there. Her walking and sit commands were perfect from day 1. Here command far from good but improving.. I would recommend getting a dog from Sundance but make sure you understand you are still buying a pup and will spend lots of time and effort getting her right. 3/9/2022 Update- After several months, lots of love and care I want to write to say Roxy is just a wonderful dog and companion. So loving a very quick learner everyone loves her. She goes with me everywhere. She’s a very important part of a very busy household. Thanks Sheryl.
