PUPPIES HAVE ARRIVED!!! Four girls and one boy are available from this beautiful chocolate litter! 🍫 ❤️

All our puppies are raised in our home surrounded by plenty of love and socialization with our 8 children, 5 dogs and 4 cats. They are extensively socialized with children, cats, other dogs, household noises, a variety of indoor and outdoor surfaces and textures, sights and sounds. We begin working on basic obedience, retrieving, and introduction to water (weather permitting). Pups will be vet checked, vaccinated and dewormed, and come with a new puppy kit to take to their new homes.

Wilson comes from a long line of hunting champions & field champions, including his great granddaddy who was a 7x GRHRCH (UKC), MNH9 (AKC) and Hall of Fame dog. He has excellent drive, absolutely loves water and retrieving. He also has a wonderfully calm and loving temperament, is very intelligent and obedient, and is just a fantastic all-around family dog.

Hazel is the major "people-person" in our family! She is from American hunting lines, and has many titled and Hall of Fame dogs farther back in her ancestry. She is highly intelligent and displays excellent endurance and an amazing nose. But at the end of the day she truly lives to cuddle and spend time with her people.

Every puppy in our last litter had bolo
marks, passed down from their sire, our Wilson.

Behind the front feet (specifically, behind the metacarpal/metatarsal pads) of some Labrador Retrievers are white spots or “thumbprints” called “bolo marks.” They’re named after the English Dual Champion Banchory Bolo (1915 – 1927), the first dog to earn a dual championship by winning bo...

Puppies enjoying some outside time and learning how to beat the heat!

* Puppies are particularly susceptible to heat stroke. We are careful to only take them out in the mornings and evenings and always when there is shade and a kiddie pool to cool off in if need be.

Good morning! ☀️❤️

The Power of Canine Loyalty: The Inspiring Story Behind Edwin Henry Landseer's Painting "Saved"

In 1856, British artist Edwin Henry Landseer created a poignant painting titled "Saved," which tells the story of a devoted dog's heroic rescue of his owner from a shipwreck. The painting is based on a true event that occurred over a century ago, when an English merchant and passenger ship, the "St. John," sank off the coast of Ireland in 1845. The tragedy resulted in the loss of many lives, but one remarkable story of survival and loyalty emerged.

A Newfoundland dog named Swain, who was on board the ship, refused to leave his owner, a young woman, behind. As the waves crashed against the shore, Swain swam with the woman to safety, saving her life. This incredible act of loyalty and bravery inspired Landseer to create his iconic painting, "Saved."

The painting depicts the moment when Swain and the woman reach the shore, exhausted but alive. Swain is shown standing proudly beside his owner, his fur soaked with seawater, his eyes gleaming with devotion. The woman lies on the ground. The painting is a testament to the unbreakable bond between humans and animals and the power of canine loyalty and rescue instincts.

Landseer's "Saved" has become an iconic representation of the Newfoundland breed's reputation as loyal and heroic companions. The painting has inspired countless reproductions, adaptations, and tributes, cementing its place in the hearts of art lovers and dog enthusiasts alike. The story behind "Saved" serves as a reminder of the enduring power of love, loyalty, and companionship between humans and animals.
