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: 

Ruby had her puppies today 11-27-24. Both males, mom and puppies are doing well. 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. I also recently introduced "Clara" a light creme color girl that should be going into season anytime now. 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. Another match up people have been waiting for is Candy our Chocolate girl. I am looking at a breeding with Max again. Candy should cycle again in January. I hope to work on photography and get Boomer and our beautiful girl Jazmine profiled soon. 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.

We are a little behind than usual maybe as much as two months. New depositors usually get an offer within a couple months. 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.

American Vs English

I get this question a lot. I thought I would add this section in hopes of being helpful. Most Labrador Retrievers being offered here where I live are the American Labrador. I always like to start with: "There is only one Labrador Retriever Standard" That is the English Labrador Retriever. Technically there is no "English" just "Labrador Retriever".  This is a common way to describe the two differences in the Labrador Retrievers. The "American" is a watered-down version with a purpose. With that said the American Labrador has a very important place and Job. If you're looking for a higher energy and more agile dog the American is likely what you want. If you're looking for a more even temperament and not as excitable with the traditional look of the thick bone structure, blocky head then you're wanting the English. I recommend you do your own research and ask lots of questions to make sure you get a good fit in your next companion. There is also a middle category of field dogs that also compete in the show ring. These are not as common anymore and use to be they were sought after with credentials both in the field and show ring, most are either or. 

THE LABRADOR RETRIEVER

​The Labrador Retriever is one of many breeds of the Retriever hunting type. Extremely loyal and intelligent, Labradors are one of the most popular pet breeds in numerous countries, including the United States. While they still serve the purpose for which they were initially bred, which is retrieving small, downed waterfowl, they are adept at many other jobs including leading the blind, acting as hearing dogs, and police and military work.  Their kind nature, obedience, and knack getting along with children also gives them the reputation of being the ideal pet.
