Testimonials
“With limited time available to spend training our puppy, I have been very impressed with the progress he has made in a very short time. His obedience and Gun Dog training has progressed nicely. This, coupled with his natural instinct and drive to retrieve, has been fun and exciting to see what he might become. At 4 months old, our Magnum Run Pup has exceeded our expectations. We really are enjoying Buck. He is doing great and is only held back by my inability to spend as much time as I want with him. We still have work to do but he is doing great.”
“I couldn’t be more happy with my dog, Bella, from magnum run kennels! Mike’s work is unbelievable and has made Bella more than just an amazing duck dog, she is part of the family. I have to give Mike and his staff all of the credit for what they have done for Bella! She will definitely not be the last dog I have Mike train! Thanks so much Mike and Frank!”
“I had hunted with other dogs Mike had trained and had been very impressed. When I bought a new Golden Puppy from a very good bloodline it was evident pretty early on that the dog had too much “go” for me to be able to handle field training in the afternoon after work. I delivered a very energetic, out of control 1 year old puppy to Mike in March of 2014. In July Mike returned to me a well-mannered, under control, retrieving machine. What’s more, it was clear that the dog loved Mike and loved training and working with him. Mike does things the right way and you get what you pay for. I could not recommend him more highly.”
“A friend recommended Mike Adams and Magnum Run Kennels to me five years ago. This past July, I got my second lab from Mike, a chocolate lab named Doc. Doc is only five months old, but I have been extremely pleased with his development up to this point. We still have a long way to go, but he has great instincts and is very trainable. Mike is a great guy and runs a first class kennel. He is extremely knowledgeable on all things to do with labs and retrievers. He was very helpful and flexible in assisting us in picking out our puppy. Mike and I keep in touch on how things are going with the new pup, and he is always quick to reply to my questions and give great advice. I would highly recommend Mike Adams to any one looking for a high quality lab”
“Mike, I can’t thank you enough sir. Bailey continues to get better daily. We are now working on 80 yard blinds and higher level casting drills. It is a pure joy to see her work and how much she enjoys her job. You did an outstanding job with her and it shows every time she gets a new concept. You did a great job laying down a solid foundation that I can slowly build on. Building on that foundation is a shear joy. Thank you again for the great work. If anyone needs a dog trained the way it should be send your dog to Mike and watch it blossom into a machine.”

About Us
we are
A small run kennel in Gardendale, Alabama, just north of Birmingham. We have a true love for the proper breeding of Labrador Retrievers. Each dog we own is a true member of the family. I started training dogs when I purchased my first Labrador years ago, Jake. I have found that I have a true gift with dogs and would love to speak with you about training your family member. Since we are small, please call to reserve your training slot in advance. This provides the ability to offer your dog special one on one attention. Marsia Applegate and myself want to "Thank you" for taking the time to look at our website and learn more about us and our kennels.
