Knotty Creek Labradors

Exciting News from Knotty Creek!

We’re thrilled to announce that our sweet girl Aspen is expecting her very first litter!

Aspen is the perfect mix of high energy and a calm off switch—an absolute joy to have in our home. She’s loving, loyal, and eager to please. Whether she’s snuggled on the couch or swimming beside a paddleboard all day, Aspen gives her all. One whistle, and she’s right back at your side no matter how far out in the woods she maybe.

Aspen comes from incredible lines—Aurora x Colt—both with OFA Good hips and Normal elbows. Aspen shares those same OFA ratings and is Embark DNA tested clear. She inherited the best from both parents: affectionate and snuggly, protective yet sweet, and built to work, run, and swim all day.

We are now accepting deposits for this upcoming litter, and all puppies will come with AKC registration.

At Knotty Creek, we raise our puppies in a loving home environment. Our pups go through:

•ENS (Early Neurological Stimulation)

•ESI (Early Scent Introduction)

•Select protocols from Puppy Culture and the Rule of Seven

•Litter box training, recall foundation, and positive crate exposure

•“Shock factor” and loud noise desensitization

•And most importantly: endless love and snuggles

This litter will also get water exposure, be raised around other dogs, cats, ducks and chickens.

We focus on creating well-rounded, confident puppies, and most have no trouble passing the Volhard Temperament Test.

If you’re looking for a Labrador that’s ready to be a cuddle bug, adventure buddy, or working companion, Aspen’s puppies are the one.

Meet Oliver – A Well-Trained Labrador Looking for His Perfect Home!

Oliver is the ultimate Labrador—loyal, eager to please, and incredibly well-trained! He’s completed K9 Off-Leash Board & Train, meaning he listens to his owners, ignores distractions, has great recall, walks beautifully on a leash, and is fully crate-trained.

Unfortunately, with a growing family, his current home can no longer give him the time and activity he thrives on. While this decision has been incredibly difficult for them, they want what’s best for Oliver—an active home where he’ll get the attention and engagement he deserves.

Have you ever dreamed of owning a professionally trained Labrador from strong, genetically sound bloodlines—at a rescue price? This is your chance! We’d love to see Oliver join a Knotty Creek family, but we’re also open to new families who can provide the loving, structured home he needs.

Bonus for His New Family: For just $150, Oliver’s professional trainer offers a refresher lesson to help his new owner understand his training and commands. Since he knows so much, this session would be highly beneficial to ensure a smooth transition.

If I didn’t run a rescue and raise labs he would be staying with us. He’s out of Sadie and Colts 2020 litter, neutered but due for vaccination this year up to date on heartguard and flea and tick prevention.

If you’re interested in giving Oliver the life he deserves, reach out to us today.

🐾 Meet Oliver – A Loyal, Energetic, and Smart Labrador from our 2020 summer litter Looking for His Perfect Home! 🐾

Oliver is a five-year-old Labrador with a heart full of love and an energy level to match! His current family has made the difficult decision to find him a new home where he can thrive with the time, space, and structure he needs. They love him dearly and are committed to ensuring he finds the perfect match.

What Makes Oliver Special?

✔️ Highly Intelligent & Trainable – Oliver completed a board-and-train program with Off Leash K9 (Junction City, OR) and made an incredible transformation! He loves structure and is eager to please. A home that will continue his training or engage him in advanced obedience, agility, or trick training would be ideal.

✔️ Loyal & Loving – He’s affectionate and enjoys snuggling but thrives when he has clear boundaries. He adores his people and wants to be part of the action.

✔️ High Energy & Needs a Job – Oliver has an impressive drive and stamina. He loves swimming, retrieving (though he prefers you chase him for the toy first!), and structured play. He rarely gets tired, so he needs regular exercise and mental stimulation.

✔️ Great With Structure & Routine – He does best with a strong, confident leader who will reinforce training and keep him engaged. He’s happiest when he has a job to do!

What Type of Home Would Be Best?

🏡 Active Home With Space to Run – Oliver thrives with structure, exercise, and training. He’d do best with a family or individual who loves outdoor activities, has a yard, and will continue working with him.

🚫 No Young Kids – While he’s gentle with babies and calm children, he gets overly excited by sudden movements, yelling, or flailing. He would do best in a home with no kids, older calm children, or a baby he can grow up around with proper boundaries.

🐶 Would Benefit From a Strong Handler – Oliver needs a confident owner who will maintain his training and provide firm, consistent leadership. He’s incredibly smart and will test boundaries if given the chance.

🏕️ Loves Adventure but Needs to Ease Into It – Oliver enjoys swimming, exploring, and working, but hikes and high-energy outdoor settings can overstimulate him. A patient owner willing to slowly work on his exposure would be great.

Additional Info:

✔️ Neutered & Microchipped
✔️ Up to Date on Heartworm & Flea Prevention
✔️ Needs a Few Routine Vaccines (Scheduled for Mid-April)
✔️ Has a History of crate Possessiveness (Now Managed With Training)
✔️ Not a Fan of Nail Trims or Teeth Brushing – Needs Alternative Care for These
✔️ $150 for a refresh lesson with his trainer

Oliver is a wonderful dog with so much potential, and he deserves a home that can give him the time, attention, and structure he thrives on. If you have an active lifestyle, love training and working with dogs, and want a loyal companion who will be by your side through it all—Oliver may be the perfect match for you!

I couldn’t resist sharing this photo I spotted in a comment on Fern’s post.

Honey is growing into such a gorgeous pup. 🍯 She even has a snow nose! Her nose will darken to black in the summer but gets lighter pigment in the cold—a fun little feature known as a snow nose.

Fern our little Olive, is doing wonderfully. She’s already mastered “sit” and has taken an interest in watching TV. At bedtime, she only cries for about ten minutes before settling down in her kennel—and each time, it’s for less and less time. She’s clearly excited to be back home!

The moment she stepped into the house, her joy was palpable. She zoomed around, inspecting everything to make sure nothing had changed, and jumped into my lap every chance she got. She’s such a sweet and playful pup! It also seems like she prefers the name Fern over Olive, as she doesn’t respond much to the latter.

She’s not thrilled about her new collar just yet and keeps trying to scratch it off, but she looks absolutely adorable in it. She’ll learn soon enough that her “necklace” is a good thing!

12/02/2025

Through no fault of her own, Fern (now known as Olive) is being returned and will soon be looking for her new forever family. This sweet girl was born on November 27, 2024, and already knows ‘sit’ and is making great progress with her crate training. If you’re interested in bringing Olive into your life, please reach out to inquire!

She has been dewormed multiple times
Has had two puppy shots already!

Fern, your dream shower buddy! 💦🐾

This little water-loving cutie just decided to take her very first shower—and it was the ultimate splash party! A few of our pack members are known to jump in the shower with me from time to time, so it’s not unusual… But for a puppy like Fern to hop in all on her own? Now that’s a rare and adorable moment!

Normally, I’d take the opportunity to give them a bath, but since this was Fern’s first time playing in the water, I just let her have fun. Not the best photos, but I couldn’t resist sharing her adorable little adventure! 🛁✨

Sweet Ember is still searching for her perfect match! This Dudley girl is as sweet as pie, loves to cuddle, and is incredibly smart. She’s mastered the art of giving the cutest puppy-dog eyes, as you can see in her last photo! Ember wasn’t too interested in posing for pictures—she preferred exploring the living room and curling up on my lap instead. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a big heart, Ember might just be the one for you!

18/01/2025

The puppies have an important question today: ‘Why doesn’t the sun come out every day?’ They love running and playing, but the cold, wet stuff falling from the sky puts a damper on their adventures. Here’s hoping for some sunshine soon to warm their little paws and brighten their day!

18/01/2025

Our last little man standing is not impressed—why him?! Stuck with all these crazy sisters, he’s learning patience, resilience, and how to handle all kinds of personalities. We like to think they’re preparing him for life, but he’s ready to graduate to his very own adventure buddy (and maybe escape the chaos of sisterhood)!

18/01/2025

Miss Fern is all about the action! Whether she’s hitching a ride in the trailer or taking charge from the lawn mower seat, she’s full of curiosity and charm. This sweetie is still waiting to find her perfect partner for all of life’s adventures!

18/01/2025

Miss Ember, the cutest little helper, hitched a ride in the trailer today with a big load of wood! She’s such a curious and clever girl, always ready to lend a paw. This sweetie is still waiting to meet her perfect adventure buddy—could it be you?
