Welcome to Gypsy Oak Retrievers We are a full-time Professional Retriever Training Operation located in Malad, Idaho. Gypsy Oak is owned and operated by Lindsay Robinson. Mr. Robinson has been training retrievers for over 20 years preparing them to hunt and compete in Field Trials, Hunt Tests, and as the finest dogs afield in waterfowl and upland hunting. Lindsay Robinson has been an avid bird hunter since a very young age. He hunted over the family dog, a black lab named Old Dan, and learned very quickly the importance of having a great hunting dog at your side. Not only are they loving companions, but a valuable tool in the field or in the duck blind. In 1989 he was given a chocolate lab as a gift and set out on a journey to train his very first personal dog. He was mentored along the way…. and long story short Dr. Dan Jr became the first chocolate labrador in the state of Utah to earn his AKC Master Hunter title! Lindsay was hooked. Has been training ever since.
