Colorado Labrador retriever breeders since 1985
Founded by Gary Hubbell and Doris Hubbell, OutWest Kennels has a long-standing legacy in quality gun dogs. Just after graduating from the University of Colorado in 1985, Gary Hubbell started working with renowned trainer Mike Gould, whose Grand River line of Labrador retrievers were famous for their versatile abilities both in the upland field and in the waterfowl blind. Although Gould moved to Idaho, Gary carried on with his Labrador program as he guided for several outfitters in the Aspen area, including Jon Hollinger of Aspen Outfitting Company. In 1999, Gary and Doris founded OutWest Guides in Marble, Colorado, and Gary was one of the first outfitters in Colorado to offer guided blue grouse and ptarmigan hunts, primarily using athletic Labs from Grand River bloodlines.
