Dunwood Labradors began in 1989 with our Grandpa and his two dogs, 'Mindy' and 'Mike'. Since then we, as his grandchildren, have carried on the legacy of striving to improve the bloodlines of our favorite breed, the Labrador Retriever! We take breeding and raising America's most popular family dog very seriously!
Dunwood Labradors is a small but professional breeding kennel, we are also state licensed and registered with the American Kennel Club. We have many repeat customers as well as referrals by our veterinarians and customers. Some of our costumers that were recommended to us came from as far as Florida and Nevada, but most of our puppies have gone to homes in states closer to Pennsylvania and in our local area. Our puppies are normally acquired for companions/house dogs but have also been acquired for therapy or hunting purposes.
We are located on a beautiful farm in Southeastern Pennsylvania. The dogs enjoy the many acres of land on our farm; especially the woods and creek that they often play in. Our dogs are easy to train and we enjoy teaching them the basic lessons, some sign language commands, and tricks. We work together to improve our kennels and the dogs we love so much!
Breeding Program
We enjoy the English Type Lab with correct A.K.C. standard confirmation the best. The all famous "block head" that so many people are looking for is dominant in most of our dogs.
Dunwood Labradors is committed to producing quality puppies with good health, calm friendly personalities, and correct show quality conformation. We strive to use the best dogs for each mating and breed for good qualities keeping in mind the highest priorities in the lab breed.
We have been adding to our outstanding Dunwood bloodlines by using dogs from well-known experienced breeders in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, and California. Some of our bloodlines go back to world-famous breeders in England and also have many champion titles in the pedigrees. In this way we are complimenting the characteristics of our dogs, as well as getting good outcrosses. Most of our dogs have Champion, Hunting, and Companion Dog achievement titles in their pedigrees.
All our breeding stock is permanently identified with microchip. We do not inbreed our dogs, or over work them with producing litters. Our "outside" dogs also come from careful, dedicated, experienced lab breeders with high quality bloodlines, they are often breeders that are active in conformation shows and AKC competition classes.
