9 Days Old








I will be traveling to the Sacramento area for those of you who would like to pick out a puppy. I will only come down if I have multiple people interested who are serious about buying/reserving a puppy. I understand that Yreka is a bit of a trip for some and I am willing to meet you halfway so you can see the puppies. Please feel free to call or email me if you are interested. Thanks :)

2 days old:












All the pups piled up next to a hat for size comparison.
As the puppy photos upload I thought I'd share
some information about the breed of labrador retrievers:

AKC MEET THE BREEDS®: Labrador Retriever

The gentle, intelligent and family-friendly Labrador Retriever from Canada continues to be the most popular breed in the United States, according to AKC registration statistics. This versatile hunting breed comes in three colors – yellow, black and chocolate – and because of his aptitude to please his master they excel as guide dogs for the blind, as part of search-and-rescue teams or in narcotics detection with law enforcement.

A Look Back
Labrador Retrievers, originally from Newfoundland, were initially used in work alongside fisherman, helping to pull in nets and catch fish that escaped from fishing lines. After being crossed with Setters, Spaniels and other Retrievers, the Labrador Retriever honed its skills as a true retriever. From this point in the breed’s history, "Labs," as they are affectionately called, were bred primarily to perform as an efficient retriever of game, with a stable temperament suitable for a variety of activities beyond hunting.

Right Breed for You?
An ideal sporting and family dog, the Labrador Retriever thrives as part of an active family or as a trusted hunting companion. A double-coated breed which sheds seasonally, regular grooming keeps his coat at its water-resistant best. Because of his even temperament and trainability millions of Americans own a Labrador Retriever as a pet.

  • Sporting Group; AKC recognized in 1917.
  • Average size: from 55 to 75 pounds
  • Outgoing and devoted companions; Water dog

They have arrived!

Kita woke me up about midnight and wouldn't let me sleep, such a good dog, she was getting my attention and help. Kimber was in labor! Thanks to my amazing sister and brother in law for staying up through the night with me. Kimber did great delivering, although a bit confused at first, she figured it out quickly and now has 8 ADORABLE yellow puppies. Each one cute as can be, all healthy and growing. Kimber has taken to nursing and caring for these little ones like a champ, she's an amazing mother.

Four males and four females will be ready for loving homes just before Christmas. Please contact me for any other information, or to reserve a pup.

I will post pictures soon.
