Our Mission Statement
To consistently produce healthy, intelligent, athletic, and versatile field bred working golden retrievers which are eager to work and possess the demeanor to be a welcomed family member.
Our breeding program while once intended to just carry on our family pet’s memory, then a thriving hobby, is now a program with offspring sought nationally for field, obedience, agility, hunting and other working qualities.
Our girls are subject to all of the recommended clearances specified by the Golden Retriever Club of America. Turbo Retrievers is a registered Breeder of Merit at the American Kennel Club.
We started in 1984 with our first golden as a pet… Now we strive for betterment of the golden breed. Our golden dogs are considered as friends and members of our family.

In Memoriam Sharlie 3/28/09 - 12/17/24
Sharlie Memorial posted on the back cover of the Field Edition of the Golden Retriever news as she was almost 16 years of age. Sharlie did everything I asked her to do. She did it not because she was properly trained, because she was such an amazing dog as I was a horrible trainer then and probably still now with little coaching (thanks Sharon Long for what I have learned). I learned so much from Sharlie that I could not previously accomplish and she sort of molded me. She took me to levels of field competition that were not previously attainable, not because of me. At 11, one of my proudest moments, when Sharlie JAMMED the hardest Amature Field Trial I had ever run under Lynn Yelton at a Tellokus Field Trial. Sharlie passed her 93 master pass at 14.3 years old under Rick and Andrea McConnico and she could not hear the guns or duck calls and barely could hear the whistle. Sharlie has passed comfortably with her family of offspring and their offspring. Sharlie was the foundation of Turbo Retrievers. Thank you Sharlie for everything you did for me, everything you did for Pat, and everything you have done for our breed. I love you and miss you Sharlie Marie Rubrecht. Seeya
Two amazingly accomplished parents...One litter...

Feb 17, 2026
Turbo Retrievers was at the Treasure Coast Double Master tests this past weekend. Thank you to the club members who worked very hard to put on the tests. Thank you to the Judges who generously gave us 8 ribbons for the 14 entries that I had.
The star of the weekend was Sammy, Turbo's Smile You Can See A Mile. Sammy ran his first hunt test ever, and I had done very little training with Sammy since his arrival. Sammy PASSED BOTH Master Hunter tests and was near flawless. That is a testament to the training he was provided by Janice Gaudern and Judy Hall, nothing I did.
Additionally, Lilly and Alex also passed twice, while Scarlet and Rosie passed one test.
The new Turbo training grounds. If you dream it, it can happen.
