“We purchased a Black Lab from Full Choke Kennels. When the pup was old enough we sent it back to Doug Ware for training. We are very pleased with our dog. This year she has been totally awesome. Highly recommend Full Choke Kennels and Doug Ware.”

“I’ve known Doug for over 30 years. I’ve owned a number of duck dogs over the years that came from the excellent breeding at Full Choke Kennel. Doug takes a lot pride in not only training excellent dogs but also makes sure owners know how to handle their dogs.”

“Full Choke Kennels. Owners Doug and Lisa Ware are wonderful people who happen to bring the best potential out of your retriever. Besides training, they breed labs that have the strongest retrieving desires and abilities. Doug has trained 2 finished dogs for me personally as well as dogs for my friends and fellow hunters.

Their ability does not overshadow the great care the dogs receive at their training facility. Each time I take my dogs duck hunting I’m proud I taking with me a portion of Full Choke Kennels along side me in the boat, blind, latch on stand. Believe me there is a difference. You will be proud of your FULL CHOKE KENNELS bred and or trained dog.

As a Veterinarian for over four decades and still an avid duck hunter, it is a great honor to give this endorsement of FULL CHOKE KENNELS and its owners Doug and Lisa Ware.”

“We took our Lab Halo to Doug Ware at Full Choke Kennels in 2016 for obedient training through recommendations of others who had used him. We were impressed with his kennels and the cleanliness. Full Choke had a litter of 8 week old puppies at the time, needless to say, we left one dog for training and took a little 8 week old Black lab home with us we named Jax.

He did a wonderful job with Halo and her obedient training. We knew we had a diamond in Jax when we brought him home, he was a natural gun dog with uncommon drive. When Jax was 6 months old we brought back to Doug at Full Choke Kennels for obedient and gun dog training.

Jax is now 3 years old and has picked up countless ducks. Anywhere we have taken him to hunt, others have been blown away with hunting ability and training. He is a duck hunting beast. We have been offered big money for Jax, but no amount of money would ever be able to buy our Cracker Jack Jax from us. Thanks, Doug Ware for producing such great dogs!”

“Mr. Doug is a true dog sportsman. You can tell he takes pride in what he does. Every time I spoke with him about my Dogs training you could tell how much joy it gave him. Our dog is my wife’s and my child.

We were at ease knowing someone with Mr. Doug’s experience was on the job. We have hunted our dog this here hard in harsh weather and have been very pleased with the training. He has impressed quite a few of my hunting buddies this season.

It was great hearing comments out of my fellow hunters like. “Man it’s great hunting with a good dog again”. I am proud of the product that Doug gave me and would highly recommend him to anyone wanting a great retriever.”
