We just got our puppy Drake from Over the Top, and I have to say that the experience could not have possibly gone any smoother or better in any way! The work that Beth and Scott put into their litters are truly amazing. World class and second to none. The work put into socializing the puppies and preparing them for their future homes is incredible and has paid off so well. For only being 8 weeks old Drake is amazingly calm and well behaved far beyond his young age. The package Beth put together for the puppies going home is astounding and goes above and beyond anything I've ever heard of from any other breeders. Not only would I recommend anyone to get their future puppy from them I would insist on it. Thank you again for going Over the Top with your standards Scott and Beth.

We picked up our Della about three days ago, and was able to visit the litter two weeks prior to the pick up date. After meeting with Beth and Scott I was beyond ecstatic about where our new puppy would be coming from. Aside from being extremely well cared for, they are socialized, interacted with and beyond up to date with their health needs. Because of their care and commitment, Della's transition into our home has been so smooth for both her and us. Any one looking for breeder and/or trainer should look towards Over the Top Retrievers!

It has been 1 week since we picked up our puppy, Nutmeg, from Beth and Scott. She is a delight and very laid back. We too had a wonderful experience. We were updated regularly throughout June's pregnancy as to how she was doing as well as the progress of the litter after their birth. The work Beth puts into the litter was truly remarkable. Nutmeg has been well socialized and adjusted very quickly to our 2- year- old lab as well as our cat. The puppies have been well prepared for their forever homes. All the pups received a wonderful puppy care package and personal photo album which was such a great surprise. We would definitely recommend Beth and Scott for any future puppies. They truly genuinely care about their dogs and it is evident in the litters produced. Thank you Beth and Scott!


Andy Corbin — I am very fortunate to have purchased a dog from Scott Ward. She is by far the BEST HUNTING DOG with 100% natural ability I have owned. She has had zero professional training and very very little training at all. It has all been 100% natural ability and drive. I couldn't ask for anything more in a Lab.......Thanks for producing great dogs!

I would to thank Over The Top Retreivers for all the effort and planning it took to get the outstanding litter of your fine female Daisy to the outstanding Rooster dog.  The female from this litter I bought, sight unseen, has been everything I could have wished for. She bonded with me at once even after the long ride from Minnesota to East Texas.  Ms. Maggie Mae was sleeping under my chair in three nights.   My wife is sure that she has some landscaping  genes because of the way she rearranged part of our yard as a curious pup.  I am sure all the time your wife spent with the puppies is the reason Ms. Maggie Mae is such a people person and such a lover.  Her first swim and retrieve came at the time when I was putting out some decoys for early Teal season, she just jumped in the water, swam out grabbed the decoy by the tail and swam back to the bank like a pro!   I could say lots more about Ms. Maggie Mae but the fact that you were so concerned with every detail, everything was alright and the follow up phone calls you made tells me you handle your business the right way.  I hope this fall we can hunt some Teal in east Texas over Ms. Maggie Mae.          Your new friend,
