What does a responsible breeder actually do? A lot more than you might think. 🐾

At Berry Creek Labs, our goal isn’t just to produce puppies, it’s to raise healthy, well-adjusted dogs that thrive in both the field and your family.

Here’s what we prioritize behind the scenes:
🧬 Thorough health testing (hips, elbows, eyes, genetics)
👶 Early socialization and hands-on care
📅 Limited, planned litters to ensure quality over quantity
🩺 Routine vet care and clean, safe environments

Being a responsible breeder means putting the dogs (and their future families) first.

📌 Save this if you’re researching breeders or preparing to bring home a puppy!

Health testing isn’t optional, it’s the foundation of everything we do. 🩺🐾

At Berry Creek Labs, every dog in our program is thoroughly screened for orthopedic and genetic conditions that could impact quality of life down the line. That includes:
✔️ OFA-certified hips and elbows
✔️ Eye exams
✔️ Genetic testing for PRA, EIC, CNM, and more

Why does it matter? Because healthy parents produce healthy puppies. And we believe every dog deserves the best possible start.

When you choose a breeder who prioritizes health, you’re not just buying a puppy, you’re investing in years of happy memories, field time, and family companionship. 💛

Not all Labradors are created equal, and we’re intentional about proving that. 🐾

At Berry Creek Labs, every dog in our program is carefully selected with one goal in mind: to produce healthy, driven, and family-ready British Labradors that thrive both in the field and at your feet.

From health testing and proven pedigrees to temperament, drive, and off-switch, nothing is left to chance. If we wouldn’t hunt over them or welcome them into our own home, we don’t breed them. Period.

Summer is in full swing, and I bet we aren’t the only ones finding ourselves asking “how hot is too hot for our furry friends?” 🐾🔥

Before heading out for a walk:
✅ Touch the pavement with the back of your hand. If it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for them.
✅ Walk during early mornings or late evenings.
✅ Always bring water and take breaks in the shade.
✅ Watch for signs of overheating (heavy panting, drooling, or sluggishness).

Let’s keep our dogs safe, cool, and happy all summer long! 💦🐶

🐾 Litter Announcement: Glen x Kim 🐾

We’re thrilled to announce a very special pairing between two outstanding British Labradors, FTAW Glen and Kim! 🎉

📅 A litter is due July 20th, and we couldn’t be more excited!

Both parents come from champion-stacked pedigrees and bring an incredible balance of drive, athleticism, and that signature British off-switch.

🧬 About Glen:
With a lineage full of FT CH and GB FT CH titles, Glen is the ultimate teammate: driven in the field, gentle at home, and built like a true gundog. His marking ability and willingness to please are second to none, and we feel lucky to call him ours.

💛 About Kim:
Kim is one of the most eager-to-please females in our program. With a no-quit attitude and a heart of gold, she’s always ready when the tailgate drop, and equally content curling up by your feet at the end of the day.

We expect puppies from this litter to have:
✔️ Outstanding drive and trainability
✔️ True on/off switches
✔️ Pedigree-packed performance potential
✔️ Loving temperaments suited for both home and field

🔥 Stud Spotlight: Otto 🔥
Meet Coymesvale Knight Templar “Otto”! A powerhouse in the field and a gentleman at home. Imported directly from Ireland, Otto is the son of INT FTCH Beileys Aguzannis of Fendawood, a legendary name in British field trials. 🏆

Otto’s pedigree is stacked with champions, but it’s his personality and performance that truly set him apart:
🐾 Calm and easygoing at home
💥 Laser-focused and driven in the field
🧠 Highly cooperative, intelligent, and eager to please

With an unmatched on/off switch and a pedigree rooted in some of the UK’s most decorated bird dogs, Otto is the perfect blend of athleticism and temperament. His pups are already showing signs of following in his impressive footsteps.

We’re honored to have Otto as part of the Berry Creek Labs family and excited to continue building excellence through his bloodline.

Puppies are born blind and toothless, but their sense of smell is fully developed at birth! 👃🐾

It’s one of the first ways they learn to recognize mom, their littermates, and us! 💚

At Berry Creek, our puppies are gently handled early on to help them become confident, people-friendly companions from the very start. 🐶✨

🐾 Welcome to Berry Creek Labs 🐾

We’re a small, family-run farm specializing in high-quality British Labradors and Cocker Spaniels, bred for both drive and devotion. Our dogs are imported from the U.K., thoroughly health-tested, and selected for their intelligence, temperament, and versatility.

Our mission is simple:
✔️ Improve the breed standard

✔️ Produce dogs that thrive as both working companions and beloved family members

We don’t mass produce. We raise just a few carefully planned litters a year, because quality will always matter more than quantity.

If you’re looking for a dog with heart, heritage, and a whole lot of purpose, you’re in the right place.
