About us

Double Curl Kennel (DCK) was an idea that quickly became a reality. Nick Figliolo is the owner of DCK as well as founder and president of Warrior’s Wingman Inc. Nick began training dogs at age 17, starting with Rottweilers, many years later, Nick and his wife still own a “rott”, he is a gentle baby, is crazy about his Lab friends and loved by all who meet him. Nick began hunting at a young age and when introduced to waterfowl, he fell in love. His love of dogs and hunting was brought together and has been training Labrador retrievers since. Our first lab was a large American Chocolate named Winston who changed Nick’s life forever. DCK owns and trains Irish and British Labs. Our dogs have impeccable bloodlines and are all health tested.

Please visit our dams page, "Beans" is scheduled to breed soon, and her pups should be ready around Christmas!

The passion Nick has for the Labrador is second to his love and patriotism for his country. He has always wanted to give back to the brave men and women of this great country and this is how the journey began. Warriors Wingman is a program that is very near and dear to his heart. To give a trained best friend to one of our nation's finest is such an honor and an amazing opportunity for us. We have a group of dedicated folks, including the inventor and owner of Ice Ripper, that have poured their hearts and souls into making great gundogs and bringing this dream to life.
