Our Dogs: Chip Tory Boz Arwen Lily Jazzy Ouija Tisket Jam

We've bred quality Labradors for over a decade. Our puppies have gone on to excel as show dogs, as hunting dogs, as therapy dogs and, most importantly, as family companions.

We breed for the classic or old-fashioned type of Lab – a dog that can pick up your birds in the field and look good doing it, then play with the kids in the afternoon and keep your feet warm in the evening. We use carefully chosen bloodlines to produce the genetic foundation for healthy, structurally correct, trainable gun dogs and family companions. Don't be fooled by websites that claim they breed for hunting dogs, but offer no proof. Our dogs love being real retrievers!

Our dogs are old-fashioned in that they don't fit easily into the show vs field or English vs American type of Lab that is so common now. Our dogs tend to have a broad or blocky head and yet they wouldn't be confused with Rottweilers. Our dogs tend to have a bit more heft than many field-bred Labs, but they have the desire, the nose and the trainability to excel in the field. Our dogs love to retrieve, but they also have an 'off' switch. Although we like 'em a little bigger, we don't follow the 'more is better' way of thinking either. Check out some of the great Labs - both show and field lines - from the 50s, 60s and even 70s and I think you'll find our dogs are pretty similar.

All breeding stock is certified by OFA and CERF, plus PRA, CNM and EIC when appropriate. Read more about how we raise our puppies at Our Labrador Puppy Program.

We're located about an hour southeast of Denver, Colorado and have a gorgeous view of the front range of the Rocky Mountains. Contact us if you'd like to visit! In the meantime, you can visit with our dogs right here. Please let us know if you would like more information on any of our dogs, upcoming puppies or dogs at stud.

Hunting Labs With Classic Looks

OUR BOYS

Chip 1998 chocolate (Cy) Lab male Pedigree More Information Chip has very high drives and loves to be doing something. He is explosive off the line and has lots of drive. He also has an exceptional nose whether following a human track that is several hours old or hunting up a winged flyer. Chip is a wonderful companion who loves to help around the house. When it's time to work in the garden, he'll even carry the rake or shovel.	Tory 2003 black (Byc) Lab male Pedigree More Information Tory is an amazing dog. He's a big dog and powerful swimmer. Ever do a cannonball as a kid? Tory's water entry could empty most suburban swimming pools! To earn his second Junior Hunter pass he had to swim the St Vrain, and he had never seen moving water before as we'd only trained in ponds. Blam! He was over and back with his duck in the time it took some dogs to figure out how to get down the bank.	Boz 2010 black (Bc) Lab male Pedigree More Information We love Boz and are thankful to Steve and Shari Kirschner for entrusting him to us! His pedigree is mostly Tabatha and Dickendall with a touch of Nipntuck and Hyspire. He's got a gorgeous head, rod-straight topline and beautiful tailset. Add to that a rich coat, chocolate factor, a great desire to retrieve and personality plus equals an exciting addition to our Lab pack!
OUR GIRLS

Arwen 2003 black (Bc) Lab female Pedigree More Information Arwen is a deceiver! She looks like a little dog until you try to heft her 80-pound body. She's solid built! She's also very calm and mild-mannered in the house, but take her out retrieving and she's a dynamo. Also don't turn your back on her in the house or she'll be snuggled into your pillow before you can blink!	Lily 2006 black (Bc) Lab female Pedigree More Information Lily inherited the best of her bloodlines. She is the daughter of a good looking field-bred mother and a good working show-bred father. Eye contact, retrieving desire, willingness to please - all wrapped up in a gorgeous body. She's a UKC Champion with several performance titles.	Jazzy 2008 black (Bc?) Lab female Pedigree More Information One of our show/field crosses, Jazzy is what we call a classic or old-fashioned Lab. She is athletic with plenty of height, great structure and LOTS of retrieving desire. Watch for her as she excels in the field and the Rally ring.

Ouija 2009 black Lab female Pedigree More Information Our little cutie, Ouija ("WeeGee") is so pretty and so sweet. Currently competing in hunt tests and the show ring and maybe soon in Rally. She's a wonderful all-around Lab! Maybe a title at both ends is in her future?	Tisket 2012 black Lab female Pedigree More Information Tisket is her father's daughter - same loving, but a bit naughty attitude, same assurance with every step, same drive to retrieve. She's already awesome in the field. Watch for her in hunt tests and other venues.	Jam 2012 black (Bc?) Lab female Pedigree More Information Although she's another little cutie, she might fool you - she may be small (for now) and cute, but she's got big plans. I think those plans include retrieving and the show ring.
WAITING AT THE BRIDGE

Jackson 1996 chocolate male April 27, 1996 - January 18, 1999 More Information Jackson, I miss you every day - your sweet personality, your joie de vivre, your warmth beside me at night. I look forward to the day when we will meet again at the rainbow bridge. "Our lives are better left to chance. I could have missed the pain, but I'd of had to miss the dance." - Garth Brooks	Dee 1996 black (Bc) female February 13, 1996 - January 10, 2005 More Information Dee provided an awesome foundation for us as she was sired by the great FC-AFC River Oaks Way-Da-Go Rocky. She introduced us to the dual-purpose Lab and we've been satisfied with nothing less ever since. We have a couple of her kids and several of her grandkids and great grandkids. We're so grateful for the time she could spend with us.	Raven 1996 black (By) female June 18, 1998 - April 1, 2008 More Information What a sweet dog! Raven loved everyone she met and loved retrieving even more than eating. She added another bloodline of 'Hunting Labs with Classic Looks' to cross on our Rocky descendants. Lovely in the house and excellent in the field - we miss her very much.
