Our Story
We began our passion for breeding Labradors with our first chocolate sire and his first litter in 2007. Our family has now grown to include seven labs and at this time on average we produce four high quality litters a year. We came to know and respect Mike and Bev Powell of Powell's AKC Labrador Retrievers when we purchased a puppy from them in 2017. In January of 2020 we began working with them and have now fully taken over their Labrador breeding program. The Powell's produced high quality puppies for 35+ years and we are excited and grateful to be able to continue their fine tradition and be under their mentor-ship. We have been Labrador owners since 1999 and Lexy has almost 15 years of past experience as a veterinary technician and veterinary practice manager. We fully understand the love, excitement, and joy that a quality Labrador brings to a home!
All of our dogs have had proven litters and have the following certifications: OFA Hips/Elbows, EIC (exercise induced collapse) clear, CNM (centronuclear myopathy) clear, as well has a full panel of breed specific genetics testing. In addition, all of our dogs have titled ancestry if field work is something that you hope to pursue. All of our puppies are AKC pre-registered and come microchipped with registration paid BuddyID MiniChips - when you head home with your puppy on pickup day you will leave with the peace of mind knowing that your pup is fully registered and protected. Our puppies are raised in a stimulating and engaging environment. Each puppy is monitored and cared for by our entire family and is well loved by young children. We work with our puppies, both as a litter and individually, on appropriate play and interactions with their environment and people alike. Our goal is to raise a puppy that will integrate well into its new forever home and will bring years of love and enjoyment as you live life together. At this time we anticipate approximately four litters a year and are currently taking deposits on our 2024/2025 litters. Once litters are whelped and vet examined around 3 days old we will contact buyers in the order that deposits were received. At that time we inform you of the open house date where you can meet and interact with the puppies as well as set a date for you to pick your puppy at approximately 8 weeks of age. Once we have received your deposit and your litter arrives, we will send regular communication on litter progress and weekly pictures, videos, and updates as the puppies grow and mature.
By placing a $300 deposit you will set your status on our pick list. with the remaining balance due when you pick up your puppy. When litters arrive you will be notified and will have the option to take a puppy that is offered or wait until a future litter. Deposits are refundable only if we can not provided a puppy in the timeline that we give at the time of deposit. If you decide to back out of our agreement before the set timeline you will forfeit your deposit but will not be required to pay the remaining balance. In general, our puppies sell for $1,500.00 which includes your deposit, puppy, dewclaw removal, first round of vaccines, paid micro chip and pre-paid AKC registrations, your care package, and unlimited advice for any stage of your dogs life! (pricing could vary based on litter size and whelping conditions)
We look forward to hearing from you and learning more about your expectations, desires, and goals for your future furry family member. Whether it be for family or field, we look forward to being your choice Labrador breeder for years to come! Feel free to call us at 309-360-7879 for more information and to learn about making a deposit. We sincerely look forward to meeting you and working with you to find the perfect puppy and companion!
