Planned breeding ~ June 2026, to homes ~ Oct. 2026. This will be an all black litter. Inquiries welcome.
We breed on a limited basis (once every 1-2 yrs) and all puppies are sold on an AKC Limited Registration. If you are interested in finding out more about our breeding program or would like a referral to a reputable breeder, please feel free to contact us. These pages and photos are for informational purposes only. All prospective puppy owners are asked to come for a visit prior to being placed on our waiting list. We like to assure that the relationship between the potential puppy owner and us is solid prior meeting the little furballs. We breed only black and yellow labradors (no chocolates).
Procedure: We keep a running list of names once the questionnaire and phone interview is completed. This “list” of names will be notified once the mom is confirmed pregnant via ultrasound (~ 4wks after breeding) . Priority is always given to former puppy owners and then rank order of questionnaire and phone interviews. We do not take deposits until the litter is born. This deposit is non-refundable, but may be applied to future litters if your desired sex/color was not matched. Feel free to contact us if you are interested in knowing more about our breeding plans and upcoming litters. The first step is completing our puppy questionnaire.

All puppies are ready to go home at 8 weeks. They will have had their first vaccinations, veterinary health exam, eye evaluation and will be microchipped.
Is a Labrador Retriever the Right Dog for You?
Buyer Beware!
Labrador retrievers only come in 3 recognized colors- Black, Yellow & Chocolate. There are several people selling dilute colored dogs as “rare”. This is not the case. They are not “silver”, “champagne”, “charcoal” or “white”. Light colored yellows are often called “white”, but it is not “special” (see AKC standard below. For more information, please visit these links:
“The Labrador Retriever coat colors are black, yellow and chocolate. Any other color or a combination of colors is a disqualification. A small white spot on the chest is permissible, but not desirable. White hairs from aging or scarring are not to be misinterpreted as brindling. Black--Blacks are all black. A black with brindle markings or a black with tan markings is a disqualification. Yellow--Yellows may range in color from fox-red to light cream, with variations in shading on the ears, back, and underparts of the dog. Chocolate--Chocolates can vary in shade from light to dark chocolate.”
Don't be fooled, just say No To Silver Labradors:
