Leo Joseph

Leo was born and raised in Natchez, MS and grew up on the piece of property where River Town Retrievers now calls home.  A lifelong hunter that grew up competing at the highest levels in the horse world, Leo began his professional career as an attorney for his family’s oil and gas well-drilling business.  His favorite hobby became training retrievers. After many hours of training and studying under multiple mentors, he changed career paths and River Town Retrievers was born.  

Leo enjoys training at all levels and running multiple venues.  He believes that a well rounded retriever with solid basics can go as far as its God given talent will allow it to go.   This approach had led River Town Retrievers to much success including multiple Grand Hunting Retriever Champions, Super Retriever Series Open and Amatuer Champions, Qualifying and Derby Wins, as well as Master National Plates.  Leo’s current focus is running AKC hunt tests and the Super Retriever Series.
