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.

Rosie/Boomer Pups ON THE GROUND!
FC AFC FTCH AFTCH Can OTCH TNT's Explosion Am UD FDHF OS; Can FDHF OBHF (BOOMER 10/20/1995 - 5/24/2010) had nine puppies with our Molly/Bart girl, HRCH Turbo Glenhaven Don't Ask Why Again MH20 ** OD, who is running field trials looking for more.
Rosie is out of my Molly, HRCH UH Topbrass Turbo Don't Ask Why CDX MH63 QA2 AD HTHF CCA WCX OD who is still running/passing master hunt tests at 15 years of age!!! As Jackie Mertens kept telling me that 10 years ago, was my best Field Trial dog, and she has the highest Turbo accomplishment. Rosie's Sire is Bart, FC AFC Glenhaven HTRS MN Baronet MH OS FDHF (6/15/1996 - 9/29/2009).
Rosie has been bred to FC AFC Flash, FC AFC Beau Geste, FC AFC... Stanley Steamer, and now FC AFC Boomer. Rosie has the best temperament with a soft loving Idle switch and an intense and alert retriever. This will be Rosie's last litter.
Late last night Rosie had 9 pups and she has 3 girls and 6 boys on the ground. Open reservation openings are available with Field Trialers having priority of Hunt Testers who have priority over Pet Homes. These pups should be very motivated and great markers.
The pedigree is outstanding and puts NAFC Topbrass Cotton on the 3 generation pedigree. Boomer was the first golden retriever to achieve FC and AFC in the US and Canada of the two dogs that have accomplished this feet along with a Canadian OTCH.
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

MACH 6 for Rusty!!
A MACH is an AKC Master Agility Champion title and Rusty has done this SIX times. Six times a champion. This requires a lot of dedication from the owner. To achieve a MACH is outstanding and Mary has put in so much time training and trialing Rusty.
She’s such a wonderful representative for Turbo. She’s always wearing her Turbo shirt or hat. Thank you, Mary.
Rusty is out of the Turbo breeding with Baker and Cabo. He has good genes since his father, Baker, has won the AKC National Obedience Championship (NOC) three times in a row. 2022, 2023, and 2024

Congratulations to Laura Turner on her dog, Tempo, being awarded the 2024 Outstanding Obedience Dog of the Golden Retriever Club of Greater Los Angeles. This was awarded at the end of 2025.
What an honor for Laura and Tempo!
Laura is a dedicated Turbo owner who trains and trials in different venues. Her dogs have success because she puts in the time with them. Her two girls get plenty of fun play time, too, as I see some of the wonderful trips Laura takes them on.
Tempo is another fantastic dog from the Turbo Baker and Cabo litter.
