Please read carefully before inquiring. A little about us…
If any of these things are important to you read our entire bio and visit us on our website.
1. First and foremost we breed for health and temperament not what is trending in the show ring. All our dogs are AKC DNA certified and come with signed health certificates from a veterinarian.
2. We home raise all of our litters. Our whelping room is right below our bedroom and are adults have access to our home . These two things are very uncommon with large breed breeders.
3. We provide ongoing support for all of our owners. You will never be without a answer to a question or need no matter how long ago you purchased your pup.
4. We are one of the only breeders nationwide that will offer the initial crate training as a add on service. Yes if you choose the hardest part of training is done before you pick up .
5. We are The only breeder that will deliver in person nationwide without risking our puppies by using airline cargo methods.
We breed English Labradors. Our dogs are at their best as companions. We have spent 18 years to get our dogs to produce healthy, calm and easy to train offspring. We are at the polar end of the spectrum compared to most breeders when it comes to breeding dogs, & in our philosophy. We believe that each & every one of our dogs that produce wonderful puppies & eventually wonderful dogs deserve to have a part in our everyday family life. Every dog is a part of my entire family’s everyday activities for their entire life. We do not believe in kennel or barn breeding. For this reason, we have a limited amount of litters. Yes, it's extra work, but as breeders in this day & age with a conscience- we sleep better at night.
Our pups must be spayed or neutered per our contract.
As always, all of our litters are raised in our home around our 3 children & all of our other dogs to socialize properly before they go to their forever homes. They are started on paper training & kennel training before they leave as well.
We are accepting deposits as of now. Deposits are $200, and are refundable only if we do not produce the color & sex that you have reserved. We expect chocolates, yellows, fox reds, whites & blacks in our litters. A limited amount of deposits will be taken.
We take it very seriously where each of our dogs end up, so with that said we would appreciate phone calls instead of emails or texts. I can be reached day or night at 608-772-6117; ask for James. Please leave a message if I can't get to the phone, & let me know the best time to reach you.
We do hand deliver to any of the lower 48 states. Our delivery method is simple & safe . The cost of delivery is included in the price above. We will not fly any puppies in the bottom of an airplane via cargo. This is the process: $1500 is paid via PayPal. I purchase a flight to your closest international airport. I personally take the puppies in the cabin of the plane & buy them a seat to sit next to me.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Labrador Retriever Puppies
About Labrador Retriever Puppies
What's it like owning a Labrador Retriever?
Labrador Retrievers are multi-talented dogs that love people and being active. They come in three colors: black, yellow, and chocolate and are extremely popular for their versatility and friendly disposition. Full-grown, they typically weigh 55-80 pounds and stand 21-25 inches tall.
Are Labrador Retrievers safe around children?
Labrador Retrievers are generally excellent with children of all ages. They don’t do well with being forced to live outside away from their people family, so you should plan to have them living in your house with you. Labrador Retrievers usually get along alright with any feline friends that also call your place home, and they tend to play nice with other dogs as well. They're moderate barkers — they'll alert you when something's up but aren't excessive.
How active are Labrador Retrievers on a daily basis?
Labrador Retrievers are happiest when they get about an hour of exercise every day. You can split that exercise up into morning and evening sessions, but you’ll find that when they’re worn out from exercise they behave a little better at home. People love Labrador Retrievers because they’re up for all types of activities and are exceptionally talented in many arenas. Overall, their exercise needs are very high.
What should I expect with Labrador Retriever shedding?
Labrador Retrievers have a short-medium length coat that will require brushing once or twice a week. There’s no way around it: Labrador Retrievers shed a lot. The more you brush them, the less they’ll shed around your house, but there’s no way to get it all. Grooming-wise, this breed is low-maintenance.
Where do Labrador Retrievers do best — city or country?
Labrador Retrievers are best suited for a house with a good-sized yard. Labrador retrievers can live happily in almost any type of home as long as they get their exercise. They don’t do well with being forced to live outside away from their people family, so you should plan to have them living in your house with you. They are highly trainable and eager to learn.
Puppy Buyer's FAQ
See Full Guide Here
See Full Guide Here
Visit or Video Call the Breeder
Visit in person if possible, or request a live video call to meet the puppy, see its living conditions, and meet the mom. Ask to see where the dogs eat, sleep, and play.
Get a Vet Exam Immediately
Have a vet examine the puppy within two days of bringing it home, even if it seems healthy.
Request Complete Health Records
Ask for vaccination records, deworming history, and vet exam results. For purebreds, ask for parent health clearances.
Get Everything in Writing
Written contract with health guarantees, return/refund policy, and spay/neuter terms. Verbal promises are unenforceable.
Use Secure Payment Methods
Pay with a credit card or another traceable method that offers buyer protection. Avoid wire transfers, crypto, or gift cards, which are difficult to recover.
Verify Breeder Credentials
Check USDA license, state breeder license, breed club memberships, and reviews. Ask for buyer references.
Know What to Look For
A trustworthy breeder welcomes visits, specializes in one or two breeds, prices fairly, and gives you time to decide without pressure.
Know Your State's Laws
Some states have lemon laws; others rely on contract law. Know your rights before you buy.
