Be wary of puppy mills and backyard breeders. We have been breeding and selling world class labs for forty years. Our Puppy Limited Warranty is the best in the industry; you are guaranteed a healthy puppy with remarkable retriever instincts.

Located on 100 acres on the sand hills of North Carolina near Laurel Hill, our world class Labrador retrievers can be found from California to Maine, from Alaska to Florida. Not to worry. We can ship our guaranteed puppies to any location in the country, except Hawaii

The qualities that make a great Master Hunter are the same qualities that make a Labrador retriever a great family pet. We select from the most dominant American field bloodlines and breed for natural hunting instinct and tractability

We meet some of the nicest people when they come to pick up their puppy. You can meet them, too. See them all, here.
Woody Thurman, whom I have known for more than 20 years, was and is my favorite [trainer]. He is an extremely intelligent, honest, hard working and trustworthy man. In addition, he has a unique natural gift in knowing how read and train a dog that I have seen only a few possess. He is a truly outstanding professional dog trainer and, supported by his wife Judy, has devoted his life to his trade.
