The Happiest Labrador

How it started

Years ago, we fell head over heels for a chocolate girl named Rosie — and just about everything since has grown out of her: the dogs we've brought home from some of the best kennels in the world, the litters we've raised here in Tennessee, and the families who keep coming back to us.

We raise our Labs the way we'd want it done if we were the ones bringing a puppy home — carefully, patiently, and with a whole lot of love (and usually a few too many dogs on the couch). If you're looking for a best friend for the next decade or so, we'd love to help you find yours.

Health & Testing

How we look after our dogs

Every pairing starts with DNA testing for genetic diseases and pedigrees we've studied carefully from around the world. All of our studs are OFA tested, and every one of our dogs comes from long lines of health-tested pedigrees. And every litter is raised under close, hands-on care — progesterone timing, a four-week ultrasound, and round-the-clock whelping (yes, the all-nighters are real).

Eight weeks later, every puppy heads home vet-checked, AKC-registered, and backed by our two-year health guarantee.

What Families Say

“Our Grizzly boy is the absolute best dog. Loving and obedient, fun seeking and gentle with our very young children.”

The Sewell Family

“She was absolutely wonderful through the entire process! On his first vet appointment, the veterinarians were so impressed they wanted to take him home.”

The Jerger Family

“The name of this breeder says it all, because I certainly do have the happiest Lab. Her temperament and love for people makes her perfect.”

Traci & Koda

“The puppy phase has been a breeze! She took to her crate the first night and was potty trained within a week! She loves everyone and everything.”

Lauren & Lucy

“He is everything we were looking for in a puppy. He has a beautiful shiny black coat, big blocky head, thick body and the famous otter tail.”
