The Kentucky Derby is a tradition that blends athletic power with timeless heritage. Every year, the race captures national attention and sparks a celebration of speed, stamina, and spirit. At Twin Lakes Kennel, we share that same passion for performance and energy.

Our American field labs live for the chance to show their natural drive and joyful personality. That spirit shines through in the playful display of the Three Amigos, three Labrador Retrievers running headlong into the water to salute the Derby with style and heart.

American Field Lab with Superior DNA

When breeding our American field labs, we emphasize strength, intelligence, and character. These qualities reflect the same attributes celebrated in the Kentucky Derby.

Just as thoroughbred horses represent centuries of selective breeding, our dogs carry forward more than four decades of refinement and proven lineage. We have dedicated our lives to producing the American field lab with superior DNA, a dog capable of excelling in competition, hunting, and companionship.

The Three Amigos exemplify excellence in motion. Their stride combines athletic precision with uninhibited joy. The lake becomes their racetrack, the splash of water their grandstand roar. Their talent lies not only in physical ability but also in the instinct to move together in harmony – a reflection of their shared heritage and disciplined training.

The Spirit of the Derby in Our Labradors

The Derby reminds us how dedication and selective breeding produce athletes with unmatched drive. Our labs live that truth every day. That legacy shows through our Hall of Fame dogs, the televised recognition on ESPN, and the life-saving work of our trained IED detection dogs supporting U.S. Marines in Afghanistan.

The Three Amigos running to the water echoes that story of determination. Their boundless energy mirrors the thunder of hooves at Churchill Downs. Their synchronized effort shows the same kind of unity that defines a winning team. Just like the Derby’s horses, our labs are bred for speed, trained for purpose, and loved for their companionship.

From Celebration to Connection

The Kentucky Derby is a celebration of heritage that connects with our mission as breeders. We want families, hunters, and competitors to experience that same rush of excitement when a Labrador Retriever leaps into action. Watching the Three Amigos plunge into the lake reminds us of why we started this journey more than 45 years ago.

Those moments highlight the relationship between breeding and lifestyle. The Derby celebrates heritage, performance, and pride. Our labs bring those same values to every family that welcomes one of our puppies. That connection between sport and companionship keeps our work meaningful.

Bringing Home a Champion Spirit

When you watch the Three Amigos salute the Kentucky Derby, you see more than a playful run. You know the result of dedication, knowledge, and passion. That is the same experience new owners receive when they bring home one of our Labrador Retriever puppies.

Each puppy carries the potential for greatness, backed by years of careful breeding and training. We do not keep a live inventory online because we believe that meeting a puppy in person is the best way to see their personality and pick the right fit.

Once a family chooses their puppy, we arrange for the pup to be flown safely to their local airport. That personal process reflects our commitment to quality and connection. Looking for Labrador Retrievers for sale? Visit us and experience firsthand the heritage and energy that define our kennel.

The Three Amigos remind us daily that true champions carry both spirit and heart. Our American field labs bring that legacy into homes across the country, offering not just a dog but a lifelong companion with superior DNA.
