Welcome to Applegarth!

We live in scenic Clearlake, California, where there is plenty of sun and fresh air. Our dogs enjoy plenty of room to run and swim and hike.
 
Our breeding goals are to produce the best companions, with stunning good looks and superior personalities. We aim to improve the breed in health and temperment. We love what we do and enjoy helping people discover the wonderful world of Flat-Coated Retrievers.

It is with great sadness that I report the passing of my Dear Dragon.  He died in his sleep at the age of 13 1/2.  His loss is devastating.  He was my soulmate and the most kind and gentle dog.  His legacy lives in his children and I am blessed to have them.  I miss Dragon so much, my heart aches every day.
