Small Batch Labradors

Loaded and licki’d with Lickimat for breakfast! A little prep, a lot of enrichment. Breakfast should be as fun as it is tasty! 🤤 These were lined with a plain Greek yogurt or pumpkin binder, filled with each dog’s Purina Pro Plan kibble and beef bone broth, and then placed in the freezer overnight. Does your dog like frozen enrichment?

Time flies when you’re growing up fast! One year ago, we brought home this little, rocket fueled pup, and now look at her! From tiny pup to confident retriever with big dog goals. 🌊 🦆 🦌 🐀 🐩 🏵️

We had an amazing time at our first in-person @hotdog.centex club meeting tonight! Huge thanks to Allie for her insightful presentation on canine herpes virus (stay tuned on club socials for a copy of that info!). We’re thrilled that @anchorbaratx is letting us host our monthly meetings on their patio! Yall don’t forget about the pup menu now mkay! HOTDOG has some exciting things coming. Check out the Match in Longview in a few weeks and the fall Try It! Day is in the works.

Gun dog training with Wednesday this morning at @blacklabel_kennels ! Seeing her skills and confidence grow day by day is so rewarding.

Breakfast with a twist! Today’s menu: mental enrichment. It’s too hot for outdoor adventures, so we’re engaging our brains and saving our energy for a weekend full of dock diving at @k9waterworld. Do you have plans this weekend? Stay cool, everyone!

Good training day today at Black Label Kennels! Back at it after a couple chaotic weeks off. See yall again tomorrow!

Great day at K9 Water World Salty Dawg qualifier! This was not taken by Jay, but Jay Hill Photography is out there getting all the best shots yall! Come hang out tomorrow!

Have you watered your Labrador today? Statistics show that, for optimum performance, you should water your Labrador approximately 10-20 times per day. Triple that for every digit above 90°f. #idontmaketherules

If you’re not eating at @anchorbark with your dogs, then I don’t know what you’re doing. They have a healthy dog menu, the dog friendly “patio” is temperature controlled and they have THE best wings. Pluckers can kick rocks! Great sport games on the tv and a fun environment. The staff is always friendly and the food on point. We were the only ones on the patio and still got great service, at other restaurants this often means we get forgotten. Wednesday loved on our awesome waitress and ordered the Pup Patties, the “Rover Way” (this added the egg!), and Pupsicles. She gives 100/10 🐾 We will be here a lot this summer!
