Health tested AKC Labrador Retrievers shown in obedience and conformation. AKC Breeder of Merit.

oth conformation and in temperament. We breed the three true colors of Labrador Retrievers: Black, Yellow, and Chocolate. Our versatile puppies are suitable as both family members and hunting companions, and we spend many weekends traveling around the country to AKC shows competing in conformation, rally, and obedience. We keep a small number of dogs, usually between 3 and 5 adults, and we breed no more than two litters per year. Parents of each litter have hips, elbows, hearts, and eyes tested at a minimum to prevent genetic diseases. Puppies are raised in our home with lots of socialization from other pets and people, and they are placed into loving homes on AKC limited registration.

We had a great weekend at the Salt City Cluster with friends and family ✨ Jovi was Select all four days, with two BOB Owner Handler wins, an Owner Handler Group 2 on Friday, and the Final Cut in Owner Handler Group on Saturday. Maxi’s first time showing, and she did great! She passed her eye exam and echocardiogram too!

•Pet your dog, all the time
•Talk to your dog, all the time
•Allow your dog to follow you, all the time
•Allow your dog to be on your lap or laying on your feet, all the time
•Pet, soothe, comfort your dog when it whines or barks for attention...or is simply anxious
•Allow your dog to demand affection/interactions
•Be emotionally dependent on your dog to the point that unhealthy dependency and interactions are no longer noticed
•Allow your dog to do whatever it wants, whenever it wants—aka, provide no structure, rules, or accountability
•Foster an environment of chaos, stress, and anxiety
•Refuse to train and pattern calmness
•Refuse to crate train your dog
•Refuse to correct your dog when inappropriate behavior occurs
•Refuse to train your dog how to be independent/alone by using a “Place” command, “Downstay, and/or “away” time in the crate
•Let your dog out of the crate when it whines or barks
•Avoid training or anything that makes your dog temporarily uncomfortable or unhappy—in other words, cater to your dog’s every desire/need, designing your life around your dog, rather than having your dog fit into yours
•And many, many more...

Basically, baby, soothe, allow, enable, disable, lean on, omit teaching necessary life skills, prioritize what feels good for you rather than what does good for your dog, and through this master plan of leadership-free chaos, and systematic cultivation of creating a toxic dependency between dog and human...you’ll ensure that when you leave, your dog will be a true emotional mess, because you haven’t prepared them to be calm, obedient, strong, resilient, robust, independent, and alone.

We know many families have been looking for an update on our puppy plans, but unfortunately we will not have plans for puppies now until 2025. However, our friends have a beautiful litter of Granger pups (related to our Tilly and Jovi) who will be ready for new homes in late November. Yellow pups currently available! Please reach out to them directly for more information:

Happy 10th Birthday to Laney! CH Harbor Run’s All For Leyna at Russford CGC TKN RN

I can’t believe she’s 10 years old. She’s been such a big part of our lives for the past decade. Laney has been on so many adventures, but now she gets to enjoy her retirement on the couch with a nice steak for dinner. Happy Birthday sweet girl! ❤️

Chocolate puppy available with our friends at Rimfire Retrievers! We have no plans for puppies until late 2024/early 2025.

This cute chocolate chunk is searching for a family to call her own! Her littermates leave this weekend and she is ready to go.

Gotcha weekend for the Triton x Jovi pups is in the books. We met two new fabulous families, and had one of our prior Russford families come back for their second pup! We wish all great things for River, Louie and Oliver and can’t wait to see what’s in store for each of them. Thank you to their families for preparing over the last several months, and for trusting us with raising your new family members. We loved this litter so much we thought one should stick around - yellow girl is joining the family!
