Puppies and Litters
As an AKC Breeder of Merit with 100s of titled dogs across all levels of AKC Retriever Hunt Tests, our breeding program produces exceptional Labradors that are healthy, trainable, and versatile companions for any lifestyle.
What Makes Our Breeding Program Unique?
Our breeding program is guided by strict standards to ensure each dog embodies the health, temperament, and skills that make Labradors extraordinary.
- Health Clearances: We only breed dogs that pass all health clearances recommended by the Labrador Club, including OFA-rated hips and elbows, Eye CERF, and comprehensive genetic testing for the breed.
- Proven Trainability: Each dog in our program has earned an AKC Retriever Hunt Test title, demonstrating their intelligence, willingness to please, and drive to excel in their natural abilities.
- Temperament: Our Labradors are friendly, loyal, and easygoing. They can perform their tasks with energy and focus but are equally happy to relax as well-mannered family companions.
Whether you’re looking for a hunting partner, an agility champion, or a family pet who loves to play in the water and retrieve a ball, our Labradors will fit seamlessly into your life.
Care and Early Training for Puppies
Our puppies are raised in a nurturing environment to give them the best possible start in life. From birth to the moment they go to their forever homes, every aspect of their development is carefully planned.
- Raised in Our Home: Puppies are born and raised in our puppy nursery, where they interact daily with our family, including young children.
- Veterinary Care: Puppies are dewormed at 2, 4, and 6 weeks, receive their first vaccinations at 6 weeks, and undergo a comprehensive veterinary checkup with a health certificate before going home.
- Early Potty Training: Beginning at 4 weeks, puppies are taught to eliminate in designated areas away from their sleeping and play spaces, helping to establish housebreaking habits early.
- Socialization and Stimulation: Puppies experience a variety of enriching activities, including:
- Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS).
- Multi-surface exposure.
- Social attraction and dominance/submission testing.
- Noise introduction and sound sensitivity testing.
- Retrieving and scent introductions, including real feathers.
These early interactions ensure each puppy develops into a confident, well-rounded companion ready to thrive in any environment.
Parent Dogs and Litter Details
We are committed to transparency and provide detailed information about the parent dogs in our breeding program to help prospective owners make informed decisions.
- Health Clearances: Every parent dog undergoes OFA evaluations for hips and elbows, Eye CERF testing, and full genetic clearances to ensure the health of their offspring.
- Titles and Training: All parent dogs hold AKC Retriever Hunt Test titles, demonstrating their trainability, intelligence, and ability to excel in their natural abilities.
- Breed-Specific Details: Detailed information about each parent includes their weight, date of birth, and the coat colors they can produce, based on DNA testing.
While most of our puppies are reserved through deposits before or shortly after birth, we regularly share photos and videos of our breeding pairs and litters, giving clients a clear view of the quality and care in our program.
