Our story: a journey rooted in love

Welcome to Appalachian English Labrador Retrievers. Our story began with a simple love for a remarkable breed and a dream to share that joy with others. Discover what makes our family-raised puppies so special.

A labrador love affair in the appalachians

Our journey began with extensive research into the English Labrador breed. We quickly realized they would be a perfect fit for our family. Living amidst the beautiful Appalachian mountains in Woolwine, Virginia, we're blessed with abundant land for our dogs to explore and a refreshing creek for them to splash in. We welcomed our parent dogs into our lives at eight weeks old, and it was love at first sight. Their loyal and sweet natures immediately captured our hearts. They're not just pets; they're our constant companions, always by our side, whether we're on a leisurely walk or just enjoying our home.

Raising our puppies: family first

While we can't speak for other breeders, we can confidently say that at Appalachian English Labrador Retrievers, our dogs are unequivocally part of our family. This philosophy extends directly to our puppies. Every litter is born indoors, with us by the mother's side throughout the night and for days, ensuring she and her newborns receive constant care and attention. Our puppies are raised in a loving, home environment, meaning they are incredibly socialized and receive ample playtime, cuddles, and early interaction, preparing them for their future forever homes.
