Labrador Retriever Dog Breeders

Looking for a Labrador Retriever breeder? Glossy websites and cute puppy photos make it hard to know what a kennel is really like. Pawthenticity is a nonprofit that collects public government inspection records into free, searchable breeder profiles, so you can see what inspectors found before you bring a Labrador Retriever home.

Pawthenticity tracks 96 licensed kennels that breed Labrador Retrievers. They average 65 dogs of all breeds, and the largest has 430. 46 kennels (48%) have been cited by inspectors, for 948 citations in total. The kennels are in 16 states, mostly Pennsylvania (20), Missouri (20), New York (12), Iowa (9) and Ohio (8). Hobby and unlicensed breeders aren't included.
