True Labradors is a small kennel usually about 10 dogs. We have been breeding Labrador Retrievers since 1995.  Dogs are all AKC Registered. We DNA test to identify and eliminate at least the top ten issues Labradors our known to either suffer from or have issues with. Recently we switched from Paw Prints Laboratories to AKC DNA +Health, using the same laboratory, Neogen. AKC Test for over 300 issues and registers our dogs DNA for identification purposes. We take great care to use tested parents Certified through OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) We offer a health guarantee and breed for the Labrador Retriever Standard. We match parents with all these factors in mind giving you the best chance at a healthy puppy. We seek out the best examples of the original labrador "English" often using champion and grand champion bloodlines. We introduce our puppies to house breaking where they are trained to potty in the grass usually at 5 weeks old. Visitors are welcome with restrictions to protect puppies. Check out our:

I have put this off for a couple days now hoping for something positive to report. Candy had her ultrasound and no puppies were found. Yes, bad luck continues we lost two litters in a row both dogs were artificially inseminated.  Some may remember we lost the Roxy's litter in August and now Candy's litter. Some good news, we bred Ruby with Tango and I'm looking at November 26 as a due date. Just a note, we have bred Ruby to a questionable stud (Cash) before and she didn't get pregnant. At that time the stud had a sperm count of 1.4 million with 50% Motility. Tango is a proven stud, and he tested 2.2 billion with 90% motility. I'm optimistic and knowing I should have two more girls coming up soon I should be able to turn this around. I expect some that left deposits may want to move on to another breeder. I don't blame you. I have been breeding for a couple decades and have never seen results like this. Please just contact me if this is you, I can refer you to a couple other breeders that seem to have better availability. I'll also refund your deposit. Abby is coming up anytime now for breeding I think I'm looking at Red Cash for a stud. Yes, I know questionable stud right. I love this bloodline we invested considerable in him and treated his problem with supplements and increased his count to 8 million, but motility is still 50%. Risky I know if it works, I secure a great bloodline. If I miss it will hurt. I'll keep you posted as things develop. Boomer is a Black male from a Champion stud. Boomer looks like he himself is developing into a champion. He is a great looking boy and still growing and thus the reason I haven't profiled him yet. He passed his DNA profile with just a single blemish of being a carrier for Stargardt. I can work with that. I also recently introduced "Clara" a light creme color girl that should be going into season in September. Check her out on my girl's profile. Don't get too excited yet. I had to agree to split her first litter with another kennel to make the deal. I love her profile and temperament, and you will too. I hope to work on photography and get Boomer and our beautiful girl Jazmine profiled soon.

New depositors will get an offer usually within a couple months, even with what seems like a lengthy waiting list. Currently we are behind, and I hope to recover soon. Many factors go into consideration when breeding and I only breed when its right. I hope to have at least two more litters in 2024.  I'll keep you updated on this page as things develop. I do my best to predict litters and breed for preferences of those on the waiting list. Stop by and meet the dogs, it is the best way to get an idea of what your puppy is likely going to look like and to appreciate the calm temperament of the English. My experience with this wonderful breed has been incredible. I describe them as the Ladies and Gentlemen of the dog world. Don't confuse the American Labrador with that of the English. Having trained, bred, and raised both there is a big difference. (Video Below) There is always more to talk about, if you're serious or just have questions call and speak with Gene or stop by.
